Dora Winter
Dora has been living Yoga for over twenty years and teaching for ten.
A dedicated practitioner who continues to enquire and learn from some of Yoga’s most renowned teachers.
Her teaching is guided by a heartfelt desire to provide every student with the tools to create a practice suitable to their own specific needs at any time of life or circumstance.
Dora’s classes follow the principles of Vinyasa flow ( nyasa / to place, vin /in a special way ) working with Krama ( stages ) to take students safely and intelligently into Peak poses.
Pranayama, Vedic philosophy and meditation are incorporated into a mindful flow.
Her studies more recently are moving towards trauma sensitive Yoga and the application of Yoga Nidra and meditation in recovery from addiction, anxiety disorders and emotionally unstable personality disorder.

I’ve been teaching yoga for 15 years and my training was in the Sivananda tradition. I teach Vinyasa flow mainly now as I love the creativity of it.

Caroline Harrison
“Movement and exercise can be invigorating, uplifting and challenging as well as calming, soothing and centering. Each of us needs an individual combination to find our balance, to bring us to better health and well-being. As a teacher I help my clients to recognise this need and to find this balance”
To breath and to move. These are two of our most basic instincts. Pilates brings attention to the inter-relationship between the two. This form of mindful exercise helps us to tune in to our bodies inherent intelligence.
This starts the process of self- awareness, unravelling habitual negative movement patterns, unlocking tension and building a strong and balanced body. This in turn equips us to be resilient to the physical and/or emotional challenges that come our way.
As a teacher I aim to guide my clients and to support them in their own individual exploration.
