Private Yoga in hackney, east london
Life is busy and finding time to get to yoga can be challenging. I travel around Hackney and north east London to bring yoga to you, at a time that works for you.
Perhaps you’re new to yoga or you’re looking to return after a hiatus and you seek guidance and accountability as you begin to roll out your mat.
Whether you’re having trouble switching off, feeling lost or overwhelmed by work, or you’re seeking greater purpose and more ease in life, yoga can be an extraordinary tool for supporting all of these issues by bringing peace and helping you to live life guided by your values.
I teach a practice that is both trauma informed and gentle, that prioritises reconnection with the breath, body and sensations and which releases tension and stress stored in the body’s tissues so you can live with a greater feeling of spaciousness and vitality.
Whether you’re seeking a wind-down practice that helps you to de-stress and reconnect with yourself or something more challenging to build confidence, stamina and focus, I tailor every session to your needs and bring a combination of tools from yin, hatha and restorative yoga to support you.
Sessions take place in the comfort of your home and draw on postures, breath-work and meditation practices.
Over the years I’ve worked with a lot of busy professionals who deeply appreciate the opportunity to enjoy time and space for themselves, to explore non-linear and non-dogmatic movement, to cultivate a practice of self enquiry self care and compassion, and most of all, to find liberation in the mind, body and psyche.
I particularly love to work with people on reducing the symptoms of trauma, stress and anxiety, those navigating grief or personal difficulty and those who are new to yoga or skeptical about the benefits of the practice, as this is where the greatest potential for transformation lies.

testimonials
“I first approached Ellie to see if she could help me through a particularly difficult time due to bereavement and recovering from breast cancer. Initially I booked 10 private sessions which I found so helpful I immediately booked a further 10. I have found Ellie’s approach and varied knowledge of restorative, meditative yoga really helpful in learning to relax, rest and sleep. Ellie’s nurturing and encouragement has given me the confidence in flow yoga which has improved my strength, balance and focus. I have recommended Ellie to so many of my clients.”
“Ellie helped me over 3 weeks at home post surgery, firstly through meditation to enhance recovery and rest and secondly to focus on healing using restorative, yin and hatha yoga to enable movement in a mindful way. She was able to help me relax through discomfort and then introduced gentle movements, which speeded up my healing process. She is empathetic, patient, knowledgeable and has the most calming manner. After my surgery she was able to deliver meditation and movement to compliment post surgical care and recovery. Not only did it help with the physical aspect of my recovery, but also aided my mental well-being by increasing my confidence in understanding my body and the healing process.”
“I loved working with Ellie. She helped me deal with my anxiety in a way I wasn’t able to on my own. She also taught me the basics of yoga and how to love every bit of it we did together. She is very knowledgeable and has a passion for what she does. Her patience gave me the feeling that I was able to control my anxiety better. I would 100% recommend working with Ellie if you want to learn to control your anxiety using a variety of breathing exercises and meditation, or if you simply love yoga.”
“I decided to book private yoga classes on the back of a busy London work schedule and a lot of personal grief. I’ve since seen a huge improvement in my stress management and general wellbeing. Ellie has been super cool.”
“I felt very calm and centred after a private yoga class with Ellie. I’m normally so stressed and anxious that it was actually a little disconcerting! That memory of deep relaxation has however left a trace in my body that I continue to find helpful and important. Ellie is a warm and generous teacher, who is also able to talk intelligently about what she does: helping me for example to understand my psychological resistance to a newfound state of body/mind. Thanks so much, Ellie.”
