About Us

 

WarriYoga brings the power of Yoga to the military communities in both Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire with Louisa Newton. A serving member of HM Forces, Yoga Alliance Hatha Yoga Teacher and founder of WarriYoga.

Yoga has been a part of Louisa’s life for many years, mainly through personal practice whilst serving the last 33 years in HM Forces; Yoga has travelled with her wherever she has served. A life long wish to train as a Yoga Teacher came to fruition on completion of a year long Yoga Teacher Training in 2018, at Bahia Yoga in Nottingham. After which, Louisa began teaching Yoga to the military community in Norfolk and also whilst serving on deployment in the Southern Hemisphere. She has also assisted in the training of new Yoga Teacher Trainees at the studio where she trained, Louisa has continued to enhance and deepen her Yoga knowledge.
