Asha

Asha is the founder of Krishna Yoga studio and she has been teaching Yoga and training people to be yoga teachers for many years.

Asha is the founder of Krishna Yoga studio and she has been teaching Yoga and training people to be yoga teachers for many years. She was born in Kenya and her parents sent her to a boarding school in India when she was 7 years old. Very serene place called ‘Gurukul’ where yoga was compulsory and practised daily between 5 and 6 in the morning. When she left the boarding school, she came to UK and Yoga was forgotten. While being in India for a holiday her daughter Anjali was a 17 years old and asked Asha to bring some books on Yoga which she did and since then both mother and daughter started practising yoga together. This is how yoga came back to Asha’s life. Each week the theme of the classes varies and she always remind her students to come back to the real essence of yoga and not just to the
postures. She always finishes her classes with a guided Relaxation,
Pranayama, Meditation and Chanting.

"I have been going to Asha’s classes for 8 years. Asha is a deeply committed, highly experienced yoga teacher. I have learnt an incredible amount from her. Her passion and enthusiasm is passed on to all of her students. No two classes have ever been the same. Each class my body is challenged and my mind is calm."

Caroline Coomber

Yoga Teacher

"A year after that first encounter we do self practice several times a week at home and return once a week to Asha to keep in check. We have both experienced benefits on both mind and body and hopefully will carry on with yoga into old age"

“I was a yoga sceptic until one day in January 2012 my partner and I joined Asha for a beginners yoga class. I was never a flexible person, I never liked exercise, I hardly worked out (I’d get inspired for a few days and then give up), and I DEFINITELY never stretched. All that changed after our first class with Asha, she started off gently introducing us to breathing to match the poses that she guided us through, it was a revelation, I was elated to find an exercise class that I actually enjoyed."

"I have been attending Asha’s classes for over 6 years, during this time Asha has become a friend as well as my yoga teacher. I enjoy being taught at Asha’s studio as the classes are intimate (6-7 students) which means you have more 1-1 attention. Asha’s style of yoga is dynamic and she encourages her students to maximise every posture to build confidence and gain the most out of each class, which has certainly worked for me."
