OUR TRIBE

We are so blessed to have a wonderful selection of Yoga teachers & practitioners, here at Kiva & Zen Yoga Studio, who offer both guidance and expertise from their own experiences. So no matter your level there will be a practice for you to enjoy.

LAU HARP

Rd Sound healing with gongs is a powerful practice where we are offered the opportunity to heal, gain balance & achieve harmony through the sound & vibration of powerful healing instruments. The sense of relaxation that is often achieved by sound healing is a result of activating the parasympathetic nervous system. In addition to our heart rate and brain waves slowing down, we can also expand our consciousness to a higher level. This can help us to release trapped emotion or stale energy, promoting healing & creating a sense of equanimity & balance. Ultimately, sound healing can assist us in connecting with our soul self – the part of us that is all knowing, grounded & connected to a higher sense of consciousness.

Lau is a Gong Practitioner registered with The College of Sound Healing & trained under the guidance of the world renowned Gong Practitioner, Sheila Whittaker. Lau is also an Arts Psychotherapist (HCPC registered) & so you can be reassured that the sound healing space Lau holds is always trauma-informed, person-centred & therapeutic in nature.

Lau’s gong baths are predominantly graced by large gongs, all with their own unique frequency & healing abilities. Throughout the sessions, the gongs are also supported by a cast of other sacred instruments including the hand-pan, singing bowls, bells, chimes, the shruti box, drums and more.

EMMA YEADON

I’m Emma, a passionate educator and breathwork practitioner. I guide individuals to experience transformative self-discovery through conscious connected breathing and to reclaim their power, discover inner strength, clarity, and embrace a mindful, balanced, and inspired life.

For over 17 years, I have dedicated myself as an educator driven by a profound passion for connecting with people on both intellectual and emotional levels. This intrinsic love for humanity naturally extends to the environment, which led me to undergo training as a forest school practitioner. My connection to nature and profound respect for the land have always guided my journey.

KARA GREEN

Hi I’m Kara,

I began practicing yoga and meditation in my twenties. I trained in journalism and worked in television for many years in London and the West Country. Showbusiness was fun but superficial and I was pulled to explore spirituality further. A 10-day shamanic journey in Peru in 2001 shifted my frequency and opened a new timeline and I retrained in the holistic world. Since then, I have been a ‘wayshower’ for hundreds of children and adults through my healing and teaching work in schools and privately.

I’m an intuitive healer, sound therapist, Usui Reiki Master, qualified yoga teacher and a trained mindfulness & meditation teacher. I host a weekly meditation group, monthly soundbaths, retreats, workshops and one-to-one healing treatments.

KATIE FURLER

I’m Katie Furler, the face of Devon Roots Yoga. It is an honour to share the ancient wisdom of Yoga with you.

My aim is to create friendly and down to earth Yoga classes for people to enjoy. These are steady paced Hatha Yoga sessions. There is balance between strength building work and more restorative postures. All classes are mixed ability, beginners are encouraged to join us!

I am passionate about the holistic health rewards of a regular Yoga practice. We are seeing more scientific research to back up these wonderful wellbeing claims. It is exciting to see the world of spirituality joining forces with science, a big step in our evolution I feel.

Creating Yoga that is enjoyable and accessible to as many people as possible is important to me. My invitation is to move our bodies and calm our minds in a safe and nourishing space. Practising together in this way feels essential to our health and vitality, in a life full of twists and turns.

VICKY

Hello I’m Vicky. I am a certified Crystal Healer, accredited by the Affiliation of Crystal Healing Organisations. Crystals have captivated me for as long as I can remember; my journey began with a rose quartz I purchased as a teenager, drawn to its loving, calming & heart healing properties. When I first met Sue Weaver at her remarkable Crystal Barn in Cornwall, I felt an undeniable pull to trust my instincts and learn under her guidance & with her support. Throughout my two-year part-time diploma, I developed deep connections with the crystals we studied & take great joy in sharing their unique energies with my clients to help restore balance & bring them back into alignment.

GRAHAM BIDWELL

The use of mantra or ‘Naad yoga’ is an integral part of Kundalini yoga. This focuses the mind and its vibrations resonate deeply within the body, helping to unblock stored emotions and strengthen the circulation of energy through the body. Naad Yoga and the use of primal sound are very efficient at clarifying the mind and optimising the ability to reach a state of meditation.

ANNE HARRISON

For Yoga, you will find my classes informal, friendly and welcoming. Through studying and teaching yoga I’ve enjoyed learning about different people’s individual and unique yoga practices and what their version of yoga brings to them.

I love supporting people in their yoga journey and creating space for people to develop their practice. In my classes you will find space to grow and explore your practice, find magic in the simplest of stretch’s and build towards postures that may have seemed daunting or inaccessible in the past.

I use a mixture of styles and props, alongside breathing techniques and an accessible range of levels for key postures.

As a nutritional therapist I will explore your health with you and put together a programme of food supplements and dietary recommendations, tailored towards you as an individual, to help you move forward with health goals or manage a health condition. These will form sustainable habits that can last a lifetime.

I am also a Wellbeing Coach which helps to facilitate improvements in a way best suited to the individual. Coaching helps a person build awareness of how they would like to change, and empower them to make the best choices that lead to a sustainable change.
