Alina
Founder of Yogalina Studios (Oxford & Witney) & NLP Practitioner
Meet Alina, the founder of Yogalina Studios in Witney and Oxford. Drawn to spirituality from a young age, Alina first discovered yoga in 2012 while working in the demanding world of Banking and Finance. Initially, it was the post-yoga feeling — calm, grounded, and clear — that kept her coming back. Over time, her practice deepened into something far more meaningful.
Inspired by the transformative impact yoga had on her life, Alina went on to complete the British Wheel of Yoga Foundation Course, followed by 500 Hrs Teacher Training, setting her on a path she never initially imagined. A decade later, that journey has grown into Yogalina — a community-led studio offering thoughtful, high-quality yoga and wellbeing experiences across Oxfordshire.
Committed to lifelong learning, Alina has continued her training internationally in India, Bali, Miami, Paris, and Milan, and is now passionate about sharing this knowledge with the next generation of teachers through the Yogalina 200-Hour Teacher Training Programme.

She is particularly passionate about helping students cultivate internal awareness and a strong mind–body connection through yoga.

After teaching yoga at university, Alyssa embarked on a six-month journey through Central and South America. She returned home with a renewed passion for wellbeing, personal growth, self-discovery, and women’s empowerment — values that are woven into her teaching style.

Her work focuses on healing, education, and empowerment, supporting clients to feel confident and capable in their bodies again.

Jennie’s myofascial release work is particularly effective for alleviating persistent lower back pain and supporting pelvic floor conditions such as prolapse or bladder leakage, while improving balance and hip stability. Her 90-minute Nervous System Reset Massage has grown in popularity over the past year, supporting clients in managing stress and symptoms associated with long Covid and fibromyalgia.
Amanda
Yoga Teacher & Reiki Practitioner
After spending several years living and travelling across Central and North America, Amanda returned to the UK with a deepened passion for holistic wellbeing and energy work. Her journey into Reiki began through self-practice and working with family, before becoming a certified practitioner with Reiki Level 1 & 2 qualifications.
During her travels, Amanda immersed herself in women’s moon and womb ceremonies, working closely with her Reiki teacher and energy healer, Luz Duque. Alongside this, she developed a strong interest in crystal healing and aromatherapy, further enriching her spiritual and healing practice.
During the pandemic, Amanda expanded her path into movement and mindfulness by completing her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, as well as gaining certification in Yoga Nidra. More recently, she qualified as a 50-hour Menopause Yoga Teacher, training with Petra Coveney, allowing her to support women through this important life transition with care and understanding.
At Yogalina Wellness Centre, Amanda offers Reiki sessions and regular Reiki & Yoga Nidra workshops.
Alana
Pregnancy and Mum & Baby Yoga Instructor
Alana is a certified YogaBirth 300-hour teacher, offering Pregnancy Yoga and Mum & Baby Yoga classes in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. Her journey into yoga began six years ago during her midwifery training, where she discovered yoga as a powerful tool for staying grounded and present during a busy and demanding period of life.
Alana is passionate about supporting women through pregnancy and early motherhood, and her classes are thoughtfully designed to promote both physical comfort and emotional wellbeing. Prenatal yoga can offer a wide range of benefits, including improved sleep, reduced stress and anxiety, and a deeper connection between parent and baby.
Her teaching blends gentle, accessible movement with breathwork and mindfulness, encouraging regular practice in a way that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.
Recently, Alana completed an additional postnatal yoga qualification and now offers Mum & Baby Yoga sessions on Mondays, creating a welcoming space for new parents to move, connect, and feel supported during the postnatal period.
Jo
Yoga Teacher & Sound Bath Practitioner
Jo is a yoga teacher and holistic practitioner, and is currently training as a psychotherapist. Her work is centred on guiding others from the noise and chaos of the external world towards deeper states of stillness, presence, and inner connection.
After spending over a decade working as a graphic designer, Jo began to crave a sense of meaning that corporate life could not provide. Four years ago, following a redundancy, she made the courageous decision not to return to the corporate world and instead retrained in the modalities that had long been an integral part of her own wellbeing journey.
Jo now teaches what her practice has taught her — presence, balance, and connection. Her classes are grounding, reflective, and deeply supportive, offering a calm and nurturing space for students to slow down, reconnect, and explore yoga as a tool for self-awareness and healing.
Pili
Sound Bath and Kundalini Practitioner
Pili grew up along the Mediterranean coast in Alicante, Spain — a place that instilled in her a deep sense of warmth, connection, and belonging. From an early age, she felt guided by an unseen force, shaping both her path and her purpose. Empathy has always been central to Pili’s identity; she experiences the emotions of others deeply, a quality that naturally led her towards a life of service and meaningful impact.
Her early career working with non-profit organisations gave her a strong sense of direction, allowing her to transform compassion into tangible action. Over time, her journey evolved into the world of energy healing, where she explored and trained in modalities including Quantum Touch, Sound Therapy, and Kundalini Activation — all of which now inform her intuitive and integrative approach.
For Pili, healing is not just a practice but a way of life. Each session is deeply personal and guided by intuition, supporting clients in cultivating inner peace, clarity, and renewal. Her work invites individuals into a space where energy flows freely, sound restores balance, and transformation unfolds naturally.
