We extend our invitation to all anyone with an enthusiasm to dive into the depth of yoga. Whether your aspiration is to become a skilled yoga teacher or you seek self-discovery and want to enhance your personal practice, this course allows the possibility for both; time for a renewed perspective and the certain opportunity to enrich your practice.
“Holly isn’t your average yoga teacher. She takes you far deeper into the practice than stretching and poses. Her flows make it effortless to immerse yourself in your movement and breath. Holly also reads the room. She has an intuitive sense of each person’s ability and emotional state, and ensures that you’re never under-performing or over-stretching. Instead, she guides you to a place of both progression and restoration. Plus, whenever you’re in need of a small tweak or adjustment she’s always there to provide it. Bottom line, Holly’s yoga classes are sensational.”

About Your Yoga Trainers
Holly Warren
Holly’s spiritual journey began at a young age in a family dedicated to the pursuit of Yoga. At 7yrs, when introduced to Transcendental Meditation and having been promised a ‘word of wisdom’ she remarked, “you’ve given me the word, where’s the wisdom”.
At 16yrs she began a pranayama practice alongside her meditation and asana and following a 10yr professional dance career, with a heart held by her spiritual practice, she undertook further training and in due course began leading Healing Breath meditation and Yoga workshops in the UK, the Republic of Ireland and Germany.
Working on the deeply held understanding that the body and breath have the potential to guide us in every moment, anchoring us to the present, this continued passion for Yoga eventually led to her becoming a full-time yoga instructor.
For five years she was a primary contributor to the development of Yoga London in the delivery of their teacher training programs, as-well as co-teaching on a central London Yoga studios Yoga Teacher Training and subsequently, following a move to Bath, she was contracted by Midlands based Calm Studios to develop and deliver teacher training in Derby.
Dedicated to delivering a training experience filled with practical knowledge and insight that can be applied to enrich your personal practice, her goal is to empower you to become a confident and knowledgeable yoga facilitator.
Her enthusiasm to share this transformative journey with you is solid. With Holly as your guide, you can be assured of a training that is filled with knowledge, compassion, and a deep understanding of the practice.

Emma Lewis
As far back as she can remember, Emma has been fascinated by human anatomy + physiology, psychology, and behaviour. After much deliberation over whether to study medicine or another health profession, she listened to her intuition and read Physiotherapy at the University of Birmingham. Emma graduated with first class honours in 2007 and this was the catalyst to her evolving journey of learning and teaching.
Emma’s intrigue in Yoga was seeded from studying the brain and human movement as a specialised neurological physiotherapist. With this curiosity about the mind and body connection, she embarked on a 200-hour, Vinyasa Flow based, teacher training with Holly Warren in 2016 and further pregnancy training with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, post-natal training with Sally Parkes, and Yoga Nidra training with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, Nirtlipta Tuli and Yoli Maya Meh. Through ongoing study and practice Emma has been inspired to explore the importance, beauty, and power of our innate energy in our daily practice both on and off the mat.
As an experienced physiotherapist and Yoga teacher, Emma has worked in diverse settings, with a range of different individuals and groups. She combines her knowledge of the human body with yoga principles to champion a truly accessible practice, with focus on exploration and connection.
Emma is passionate about teaching in all forms, dividing her time between yoga, clinical physiotherapy work, lecturing in Physiotherapy and studying for an academic teaching Fellowship in Healthcare + Biomedical education. Her mentors in both the healthcare and Yoga arenas have inspired Emma to creatively integrate theory and practice to underpin a unique and embodied experience. She has previously taught anatomy + physiology on 200 hour teacher trainings and is both excited and extremely honoured to now be collaborating with her own teacher, Holly Warren, on an embodied 200 hour programme.

“I have been attending workshops, classes and retreats with Holly for over 3 years and have recently completed my teacher training with her. She has been instrumental in my yoga journey so far and my continued path of learning.
Holly is an extremely knowledgeable, passionate and graceful teacher, combining a mindful, inquisitive practice with up to date anatomical knowledge. She gets students to explore their boundaries by getting them to really start to really feel into their bodies and investigate movement, emphasizing that yoga is not about making shapes or comparing your unique body to others.
Holly truly embodies what she teaches and has helped me understand yoga is not just what we do on the mat, but what we take out into the world after. She is more interested in how kind your heart is rather than how long your hamstrings are!”
