Alanna Wallace

Studio Manager & Teacher

​

Alanna discovered yoga during one of the most difficult periods of her life. What began as a weekly class to ease anxiety grew into a foundation for healing, personal transformation and emotional regulation. She is a strong believer in the power of yoga for mental health and long-term resilience.

​

Trained in trauma sensitive yoga, Alanna understands the relationship between the body, mind and nervous system. Her teaching focuses on creating a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where students can reconnect with themselves and honour their own pace. Her lived experience with anxiety, trauma and dysregulation informs the compassion and steadiness she brings to every class.

​

Alanna also loves tarot and often draws on the storytelling wisdom of the cards for inspiration. Her intention is to support each student in cultivating self-awareness, inner trust and a deeper sense of devotion to the self.

Mikeala Ainsworth

Teacher

​

Mikeala’s first language is energy. Throughout her teens and early adulthood she often felt overwhelmed by emotions that she later realised were not always her own. Through embodiment practices, nervous system regulation and Reiki, she learned to understand her inner world and differentiate between internal and external energetic influences.

​

Yoga asana and meditation helped her reconnect with her physical body and recognise that movement can shift and release energy. This insight now shapes the way she teaches. In her classes, Mikeala guides students to become familiar with their own energetic signature and to use this awareness as a compass for personal growth and inner clarity.

​

Since completing her first Yoga Teacher Training in 2017, she has continued to expand her toolkit. She is also a Pilates instructor, Reiki Master and Spiritus Breathwork Facilitator. Her interests in astrology, human design and numerology further support her unique approach to translating and working with energy.

Tyreece Villacampa

Teacher

Tyreece was introduced to yoga as a young teen by his mum, although he initially resisted the practice. After a difficult period in his life, he committed to a daily meditation routine at just 16 years old and soon completed his first Yoga Teacher Training with Power Living at 17. He has now been teaching for more than half a decade.

​

His classes are influenced by the philosophies of the Eight Limbs of Yoga, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and the Baptiste method, along with inspiration from teachers such as Eckhart Tolle, Thich Nhat Hanh and Dr Joe Dispenza. Expect a blend of meditation, pranayama, powerful and creative sequencing and moments of reflective stillness.

​

Tyreece teaches in a way that is accessible to all levels. His intention is to support students in meeting themselves more honestly and compassionately. He hopes each student leaves with a deeper sense of inner awareness and a renewed connection to their own wisdom and possibility.

Lauren McDonald

Driven to deepen her knowledge, Lauren returned to India in 2024 for an additional 50 hours of training.
