Our Teachers

Lilli is originally from Norway, where she first started her career within the fitness industry. As a teenager Lilli loved dance, ballet, aerobics and jazz-ballet, finding inspiration through one of Norway’s top Fitness teachers - Trine Tschudi. 

Lilli Started practising Yoga and Pilates upon moving to the UK in 2000 and loved it so much that she decided to become a Yoga/Pilates teacher herself.  

 Veronica had been an aerobics teacher for 15 years when one of her class participants suggested she tried Iyenger Yoga. Initially she found the Yoga classes a complete contrast to her usual fast paced aerobic exercise. Also she found the postures challenging since her muscles were so tight from all the aerobic exercise she had been doing. Veronica decided to stick with the classes because she knew the stretching would be good for her. She was amazed how quickly her body responded to the practice and postures she found difficult  soon became her favourite. She started to attend some Hatha classes which were more varied and started to notice changes in her body and her approach to her own wellbeing. She started to realize that she didn’t need to treat her body aggressively to achieve the same results; strength, suppleness, leanness. Yoga left her with renewed energy and vitality, unlike her aerobic classes. Wanting to study the more subtle aspects of yoga and learn about the history and philosophy of yoga, Veronica decided to do the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) Foundation Course in 2004. It was during that year that Veronica knew she wanted to teach. She then went on to do the BWY Teacher Diploma Course  in 2005 learning every aspect of Hatha yoga including physiology, asana, pranyama, kryas, chakras, meditation and studying the ancient texts.  She started teaching in 2006. She completed the 31/2 year diploma course in 2008. During her studies she was introduced to Ashtanga Yoga which she just loved from her very first class.

She has been teaching Hatha yoga classes for the last 4 years and Dynamic Yoga for 2 years. She has excellent vocal skills helped by her experience of teaching a hugely varied amount of classes and large numbers of people over the last 25 years. She has excellent knowledge of how the body works as she has studied anatomy and physiology at degree level and is a qualified Gym instructor. She has empathy for people who think they are ‘no good at stretching’. She believes Yoga has something to offer everyone regardless of age, shape or ability and absolutely advocates all the benefits that yoga brings: fat loss, greater range of movement, strength, core stability, calmness, confidence, reduced stress, and general overall health and wellbeing.

Yolie Prebble
Yolie has been practicing yoga for more than 8 years, in a variety of styles and settings. She was first introduced to Hot Yoga in 2005 whilst at university, when she began to practice Bikram Yoga. She found the heat took her Yoga practice to a new level, and has been hooked ever since.

After finishing her degree in 2008, Yolie left England to qualify as a Hot Yoga teacher under the instruction of Ted Grand and Jessica Robertson (co-founders of Moksha Yoga) in Toronto. Yolie has also completed numerous workshops in Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Annie Carpenter (2009), Max Strom (2009), and studied Detox Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Seane Corn (2008 and 2009). She most recently completed a Business of Yoga course at Absolute Yoga in Thailand (2009).

Since returning from Canada, Yolie has been teaching Hatha Yoga in gyms, businesses, schools, and private classes throughout the South of England. She has enjoyed a recent return to the heat, teaching Hot Yoga in London since 2009.

Her classes are challenging yet fun. They bring awareness to the breath and attention to alignment, so that students of all levels can safely experience the maximum stretching, strengthening and stress-relieving effects from each and every session.
 

Clive has been practicing yoga for over 16 years. At school he was a keen gymnast and sportsman so what started out as a natural curiosity with yoga developed into an ever deepening experience that has led to extensive travel and study. All yoga is "Hatha" yoga and Clive has studied with a variety of teachers and a wide range of "styles" including Iyengar, Ashtanga, Bikram, Sivananda, power yoga, remedial and yoga therapy and yoga for pregnancy. As well as the UK, Clive has also studied and practiced extensively in India (Delhi, Rishikesh, Trivandrum), Nepal (kathmandu) and the USA (Miami, Detroit). He has also studied eastern philosophy in Thailand and Tibet.
Clive gained his first teaching diplomas from the Sivananda centre in Neyyar dam, south India and from the internationally renowned teacher Jimmy Barkan from the yoga college of India in Florida.
As well as studio 42° Clive teaches private one to one tuition and also group classes in various health clubs and spas in the Berkshire and south Buckinghamshire regions. Clive believes you can take whatever you like from yoga - from the pure physicality of the asana practice to its more spiritual offering with pranayama and dhyana. All ages, abilities and body types are welcome ! In class Clive sticks to the stricter format and ethos of the ashram asana classes of the Indian sub-continent. He welcomes anyone to these hot yoga classes who's up for a good workout and sweat !
