Here's what some of our members say...
"I tried other classes but they did not have the right feel..."
Joining Pradhipa Yoga has simply been the best change I have made in my life over the past 2 years. I quickly noticed an increase in my strength and flexibility as well as feeling more positive.
During the pandemic, continuing my practice with Angela and her team has helped me to stay positive and focused on living well. I do not know what I would have done over the last few months without this group. Thank you Angela.
"...since working with Angela I am able to manage stress better and make better choices..."
I was a little worried about not being strong or flexible enough to do yoga, but Angela's teaching style is very relaxed and she will adapt the exercises and poses to make it easier for you. Since working with Angela, I am able to manage stress better, and make better choices, which in turn leads to a more fulfilling life.
"...I feel more supple..."
I was looking for something active to do with my partner during retirement. I find the classes very relaxing, I feel more supple and I enjoy the meditation.
"...it really helps with my work/life balance..."
I was looking for something to ease my lower back pain & keep me flexible as I get older. I really enjoy the classes and being able to do different classes and being able to hop straight on the mat before & after work is really convenient. I've found the mindfulness really helps me switch off and achieve a better work/life balance."
"...it's the perfect exercise for me as I get older..."
I realised I was not getting the exercise I used to, and yoga is the perfect exercise for me as I get older. I like the flexibility which allows me to fit in classes around my work and home life. I feel strong, flexible and have never felt so relaxed!
"...my body is so much stronger, and no longer aches due to tension. I wish I tried it years ago!.."
I used to feel very tense, & struggled to sleep & switch off. Now my body is so much stronger and no longer aches due to tension. I've also learned how to relax and have found a peaceful place within myself. I wish I had tried it years ago!
"...I am now able to stay calm under the pressures of life..."
I was struggling to slow down and find focus in my life after selling my business. I really enjoy the sessions, they are very easy to follow online with clear instructions. I feel much fitter and more flexible and have learned how to calm my mind.
"...my back pain has reduced significantly since starting..."
I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up, but there are instructions for all levels and I felt comfortable right away. I love the flexibility of being able to change classes to suit my schedule. I used to have daily back pain but that has reduced significantly, and the guided meditations help to switch off and take a step back. It is like pressing a reset button each week.
"...my body feels great after stretching out my stressful day, and I love the self-care I am learning..."
I work hectic hours and mum to a young child, so it was great to find this space that delivers different classes at different times. It allows me to fit my self-care around my schedule. I love practicing from home, I light some candles & spray some nice smelling mist & have my tea on the go and my body feels great after stretching out my stress. I also like the sense of community and education.
Meet the team...

I believe that Yoga can transform your life if practiced regularly and with this in mind, I have developed this Virtual Sanctuary so that you can take care of yourself and find that quiet space away from hectic modern life, anytime you need. I have been practising yoga for over 15 years and completed over 1000 hours of training, both in India and the UK, including Yoga Therapy, Vedic Psychology and Vedic Culture. My teaching style is rooted in the traditional concepts of ALL aspects of Yoga and I will support and encourage you to deepen your practice, so that you too can feel the wonderful benefits of living consciously and in the present.
Gentle Flow Instructor
Fran Loretto
Hi my name is Fran, and I believe that Yoga is the perfect way to switch off from the never-ending stream of noise and information we are exposed to in our daily lives. I make yoga accessible to everyone; “If you can breathe, you can yoga”. I have been practicing yoga for several years, and am blessed to share what I have learned. Finding yoga has made a huge difference to my life, and I hope it does to yours too. I teach a live Gentle Flow class once a week for Pradhipa Yoga, and I hope to see you there.
Weekend Wind Down & Yin Yoga Instructor

Hi my name is Laura and I have been practicing Yoga since 2002. Yoga became my sanctuary when I took up a stressful job in London, and I believe in its ability to heal, as well as nurture and protect the mind, body and soul. I will help you to take your attention away from the very busy, very loud world around us, back to yourself, inside, which is where it all begins. I teach a "Weekend Wind Down" class on Fridays and Yin Yoga on Sundays for Pradhipa Yoga, join me if you want to feel relaxed and inspired.
