Allie Hill is the founder of yogahaven and the director of our Teacher Training course, an 800hr RYT teacher with studies in Bikram and Jivamukti Yoga styles as well as being a yoga hero to over 500 trained yoga teachers across the globe. Though she is a petite-sized person, her heart and ambition are super-sized.

Allie began teaching full-time in 2001 and has since taught thousands upon thousands of students, including Premier League football clubs Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur. Yoga is the perfect balance for any lifestyle or athletic discipline, as Allie herself knows - she loves adventures, snowboarding, has run both the London and Berlin marathons as well as participating in Triathlons. Putting all that energy to good use, Allie took on Mount Kilimanjaro and raised £3,500 for charity. Allie is also proudly a brand Ambassador for athletic apparel company lululemon athletica.

The first yogahaven studio was opened in Brighton in 2003. In just over a decade an amazing family of six Hot Yoga studios across the UK grew with a wonderful, vibrant yoga community surrounding it due to Allie’s down to earth, fun and encouraging nature.

In 2014, yogahaven became Carbon Neutral - a massive undertaking with six studios but an ethical project dear to Allie’s heart. As an environmental and spiritual activist, financially supporting sustainable energy projects around the world felt like the perfect way to stay true to her yogi roots as well as helping raise awareness of vegetarianism and environmental issues through yoga and special community events and fundraisers.

Her list of personal teaching accreditations is impressive, knowing that the best teachers continue to be students themselves. Originally training in Bikram, Allie has since trained in Jivamukti Yoga and other styles along the way , She is a certified Ante-natal teacher and has completed a foundation course in Yoga Therapy with the Bio-medical Trust in London.

Allie will be present for the first week on each training and on the final weekend module of the 200hr yogahaven Teacher Training.

Krystal fell in love with yoga from the first class she went to as a teenager. This love took her to India to learn more, but instead of yoga she found herself studying Ayurveda in Kerala. With a passion for complimentary medicine and plants, Krystal came home and study Western Herbal Medicine at University in London.

A few years later, her close friend (Allie!) didn't need to do much to convince her to join the yogahaven teacher training in Morocco and from there, they went on to open yogahaven in London together.

Krystal has an appreciation of all yoga and has gone on to do teacher trainings in Pregnancy yoga and Ashtanga.

After travelling the world as a professional dancer and enduring a gruelling physical and mental schedule, Sian chose to embark on a new, more body-positive and empowering path. Her transition into yoga was not only a natural progression but also a deeply personal journey.
What began as a way to clear her mind after long days of rehearsals, filming, and choreographing soon became a calling. She started leading her fellow performers through warm-ups and cool-downs, quickly discovering a natural talent for teaching.
Sian has since become an integral part of the yogahaven family. As a full-time teacher, trainer, and executive assistant to the teacher training programmes, she knows yogahaven inside out—there’s not a question she can’t answer. Her leadership experience as a studio manager has further deepened her understanding of both the business and community sides of yoga.
Teaching yoga has brought her a sense of joy and balance she never imagined possible after her dance career, and she’s dedicated to sharing that feeling with every student she meets
Guided by the principle of Ahimsa (non-violence and compassion), Sian brings a deep sense of care to her teaching and her life.
A committed vegan, animal rescuer, compassion is an inherent part of who she is.

A London based teacher originally from NZ, Amy is passionate about yoga and how it has the ability to touch and transform lives.

Having always been a fitness junkie, her yoga journey began with Bikram in 2005 and has led to an ever-evolving practice. Previously working in the Design Industry in Interior Architecture, she saw the benefits of her yoga practice on her incredibly stressful and fast paced lifestyle which led her to pursue teaching to be able to share this with others.

With over 1000 hours of training under her belt having first trained with Yogahaven London and has since trained with the Jivamukti School New York/London. She has great gratitude for all her teachers and students and believes that we can find the guru or teacher within everyone we encounter.

Amy’s teaching focuses on alignment and breath, attuning the practice in such a way that the students are in a space to balance body, mind and soul, while becoming holistically stronger and increasing flexibility. She aims to create a place where students on teacher training feel inspired and empowered.
