Westfield
St Leonards Studio CIC is a collective of teachers of Yoga, Pilates, Qigong,
Meditation, Shiatsu and other such practices for holistic health and wellbeing.
We are a not for profit, Community Interest Company whose aim is to provide
affordable space for local teachers who form a collective of practitioners
providing classes, workshops and courses for all. The studio was founded and is
run by two local teachers Annie Cryar and Zowie Martin with an intention to
create a suitable and affordable space for a community of teachers with a shared
ethos of safety, inclusiveness and community support. All teachers joining the
studio are fully qualified and insured and encouraged to be part of a governing
body to ensure a standard of professionalism students can trust. In-house
trainings are available for both existing teachers to continue professional
development and new teachers and practitioners to train through the Shiatsu
College Hastings and Meridian Yoga Teacher Training, a British Wheel of Yoga
approved school. Members of the studio are independent sole traders and remain
fully autonomous in the running of their classes but are encouraged to think of
themselves as being part of a whole that runs for the good of all. Teachers are
encouraged to connect socially with one another, to experience one another
teachings and to participate in raising social awareness through collaborative
free community events such as Mental Health Awareness Week, World Meditation Day
and charity events. Over the last 5 years the studio has had to move venues 3
times and teachers come and go but the heart and vision of St Leonards studio
remains the same. St Leonards Studio CIC supports the Sarah Lee Trust, a local
charity providing free complimentary therapy for those with terminal illness and
their families. A community of teachers within the heart of the local community
to provide for the whole community Please contact the individual teacher for
