Rachel Livesey
Yoga Teacher.
I have practiced yoga for almost 20 years and have often shared yoga sessions with the children I’ve taught in both in mainstream and SEND schools. In 2023 I decided it was time to leave my assistant head role and classroom teaching to combine my love of yoga and my passion for working with SEND children.
I completed my SEN yoga and wellbeing course with BEAM academy and was then very fortunate to spend some time in Sri Lanka with Middle Path Movement Yoga School completing my 200hr training in the most incredible setting.
I offer Hatha Flow classes at the studio as well as working alongside The Yoga Lady for the Kids Holiday Club.
Paul Cooper
Yoga & Pilates Teacher
​
A Yoga Teacher for 15 years and a Pilates instructor for 21 years.
My interest in pilates first came to came to light when I joined a gym in 2001. I wasn’t interested in bulking up with huge free weights but I wanted a very strong lean body with the flexibility to match so pilates fitted the bill, but I noted the emphasis on the importance on a strong spine/core (abdominal) strength.
Trained in Ashtanga Yoga in 2009.
I bring a unique range of strength building & flexibility increasing classes suitable for all abilities to the studio.
As well as holding the men only classes and spaces. ​

Louise Brooks
I’ve been in the fitness world since I was 18, teaching everything from aerobics to strength training—but it was yoga that truly stole my heart. I’ve been practicing for over 25 years now, and I’m still amazed by the calm, clarity, and energy it brings into my life (and hopefully yours too!).
I teach Hatha yoga at the beautiful Creative Calm yoga studio, where I’m lucky enough to share my love of yoga with the most welcoming and down-to-earth bunch of people. My classes are open to all levels—whether you’re brand new to yoga or have been practicing for years, you’re always welcome.
For me, yoga is about so much more than movement—it’s about taking time out, tuning in, and leaving class feeling just a little bit lighter and brighter. Hope to see you on the mat sometime soon!
Always on the lookout to welcome more fabulous offers of calm to our space, get intouch if you'd like to join our team.
