We’ve been working hard to expand our online platform of classes for all and we are very excited to announce that we have been extremely fortunate to receive National Lottery funding from Sport England to take our platform National, in partnership with EMD UK. This funding is from the Tackling Inequalities Fund which exists to help reduce the negative impact of the coronavirus and the widening of the inequalities in sport and physical activity.

The Instructors
Cristina
Cristina always knew that movement was good for her physically and mentally, but when she first started practicing yoga she didn’t realise how much it would transform her life!
Experiencing burnout on her return to work after maternity leave, Cristina decided to embrace change and become a full time yoga teacher. Her mission is to help people find their own individual expression on the mat, connect with themselves and others, and guide them through a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
Cristina teaches Power Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Chair Yoga for Seniors, Kids' Yoga and Meditation. Her classes aim to find the right balance of dynamic and restorative poses, with a focus on mental and physical strength and relaxation.
Natalie
Natalie is an experienced teacher and “industry pro” who has been working in the fitness industry since 2002 and has been specialising in yoga and functional movement since 2007. Her passion lies in “helping others to achieve better and safer movement within their own bodies”, which is why Natalie was keen to work with ParaStars Yoga®; “to reach out to those who are unable to attend her classes in person so that they too can benefit from her enthusiasm of free movement”.
Natalie has a friendly and relaxed style to put you at ease, as you enrol for her yoga and mobility classes with Synergy.
You can get to know Natalie via our inclusive online ParaStars Yoga® programmes.
