Lucita Fernandez
Lucita first discovered yoga when living in Barcelona, practicing occasionally with friends. It was on her return to the UK that she first joined formal classes and discovered that it was something that kept drawing her back in. Yoga then became a way through a time of seemingly insurmountable grief and finding a way to navigate the depths of those emotions became the foremost blessing. Yoga had been so life altering, that she felt compelled to open her own studio to invite more people to gain those same benefits. The Yogacita studio in the Baltic Triangle has been created to be the perfect environment for this purpose; to lose yourself in the incredible healing practice of yoga. Everything in the studio plays into that belief from lighting, music, even to the ambient smells - the stage is perfectly set for a truly life altering experience as regularly practicing yoga can bring. All are welcome at any level to come, let go of all the stresses and strains of everyday life and benefit from the amazing power of yoga to transform the body and the mind.
Gina Torres
I qualified as a yoga teacher in 2012 and since then I've taught at various locations and retreats throughout Europe. I teach various styles of yoga including hatha, pregnancy and aerial but the majority of my regular classes are vinyasa flow. In my classes I lead my students through fairly dynamic sequences, synching the movements to the breath. My classes are open to all levels as I try to build the foundations first for more advanced postures, encouraging students to find their own pace and use their practice as a way to learn about themselves, building strength and flexibility in their bodies and minds. I am also qualified in Indian head massage and use my knowledge of essential oils to provide students with a deeper relaxation and meditation to finish off their practice.
Jo Evans
Jo Evans is a certified 500hr yoga alliance teacher. My yoga journey began 12years ago when my stress levels were at an all-time high and I was looking for something to do for myself. I researched yoga and was drawn to the many benefits that yoga offers. I would like to say that my first class was sublime and I was hooked. But here is the reality. I kept checking my watch thinking how long is this going to last. I felt like the tin man I couldn’t even touch my toes. But something about the way I felt afterwards draw me back to the class. I decided I would give it six weeks and if I didn’t feel the benefits I would try something else. Out of that persistence and patience my love of this transforming practice grew. I practice traditional Hatha yoga or Ashtanga and would love to share this with you.
Pennie Naylor
Pennie trained in Sivananda in India and Yin in the UK. In all of her classes she has a major focus on mindful awareness and pranayama. She has always dabbled with yoga and meditation but following the death of her father in 2014 she realised that yoga had given her the strength to nurse him so she then took the decision to train as a teacher to help her heal. Never actually intending to teach, she soon realised that this was something she needed to share. Her own practice is for strength of mind: the strength of the body is a wonderful bonus. At 50 she says she’s never felt as strong in either!
Lee Rowlands
Lee studied and trained for 12 years before taking up his yoga teacher training and becoming a yoga teacher, such is his passion and dedication. He has his own studio on the Wirral but we are very fortunate to get his skills, expertise and knowledge once a week at Yogacita. Lee has his own unique style of flow with playful and interesting transitions, alongside a comprehensive range of breathwork, adjustments and application of yoga anatomy. You can also find him hosting the odd workshop if you’re lucky!
