Reviews (1)

Taking ballet classes with Viola has been my great pleasure. Her style of teaching is really enjoyable and she is such a kind and caring teacher. Definitely the ideal dance teacher you would be looking for!
If you’re preparing your ISTD ballet or modern exams, this is the right class for you if you’re looking to: - have some extra practice - improve your knowledge of the syllabus - gain tailored insight and suggestions on how to improve your performance and technique - keep practicing during school holidays
Are you into music, dancing and performing arts in general? Would you like some low-impact activity to work on strengthening and stretching all the different group muscles? Or would you like to refine and improve your dance technique over the school holidays? I can help you! Whether dance is your passion in life or you would just like to try something new, I'm here for you. I'm a qualified Ballet and Modern dance teacher (ISTD qualified, can also train you for recognized dance examinations) able to deliver dance and stretching/pilates-based classes at all levels. No equipment is required, just a safe space to explore your body's ability from the comfort of your own place.
Are you studying Italian but want to expand your vocabulary and conversation skills? Talking to a native Italian speaker is the best way to improve your language skills! I'm 24 and was born in Italy (Siena, Tuscany, to be more specific) and move to London three years ago. I'm a performer and dance teacher, but over the years I have also worked as a teaching assistant in primary schools, so I have experience working with children as well as adults. I graduated high school in Italy with the highest marks 100/100, specialising in classical studies especially Italian language and literature. I'm willing to help students or Italian learners of every level to improve their skills and level of confidence and even help in preparation for tests or examinations.

Gaurav
Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!
Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:) Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;) Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives. Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride! I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers. Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly. So, let's see you on the mat. NAMASTE
