Welcome to yoga with me, Atiya. I aim to teach challenging and varied classes based on yogic principles and philosophy. Classes include breathing practices, poses and relaxation. My website is: www.atiyasana.com

After studying Biochemistry at University I went to Thailand to teach English where I also did a Thai Massage course. I returned to the UK to study law and worked for a commercial law firm as a lawyer for 4 years in London. I started to practice yoga at this time, left my job, trained to become a school teacher and a yoga teacher.

I have been teaching yoga since 2011. I also qualified as a Naturopathic Nutritionist in 2015 and saw clients in my clinic alongside teaching yoga.

I aim to live according to the holistic principles of yoga. My approach to classes is warm and modern while including some philosophy.

I have taught yoga full-time and part-time, teaching classes in my home studio in Bristol, gyms, other studios, retreats, schools and helping to train new yoga teachers. I trained to Advanced level in Canada, completed an intense sadhana course, completed specific training courses and taught children, teens and pregnant women.

Since moving to Madrid I have taught yoga independently and in studios, as well as continued running retreats. I also offer mentorship to new and expat yoga teachers to improve their teaching and setting up business.

A central part of our philosophy at Atiyasana is yoga and connection so we go for coffees/ brunches every week after classes so you get to know more people in Madrid.
