Teachers

Salsa

Tina Stamou
Co-director and co-founder of TNT Dance, I have been teaching all Salsa levels from Beginners to Intermediates for the last 3 years. Very passionate about dancing and about student learning and progressing, Im keen to pass on knowledge and to see students improve. My training as a STOTT Pilates Instructor and my training for my own personal development in other forms of dance such as Contemporary, Jazz, and Tribal Fusion Bellydance has enriched my understanding of movement mechanics, dance aesthetics, as well as music interpretation via improvisation which I incorporate in my Salsa dance and teaching. I see dance in all its forms as a medium for expression and wellbeing and emphasize its vital importance in all dance settings.

Arvin Refuerzo
A Charge Nurse managing a team of nurses in a busy NHS rehabilitation unit in London. Aside from Nursing and ZUMBA, I also lecture on FIRST AID and a variety of complementary therapies including ITEC Anatomy & Physiology/Holistic Massage.

My interest in ZUMBA stemmed from seeing the effects of stress in my working environment and experiencing the detrimental effects of not having time to exercise and workout.

ZUMBA would make you realise how keeping fit should be FUN. Now who says you can't have a good time?

So join me and have a blast!

Yoga

Nadine Watton
Astanga
Nadine first started practicing Yoga 11 years ago to help heal herself from an injury to her back sustained from her training in Ballet. She was hooked straight away and has now been teaching since 2001.

Nadine's life has been immersed in body work by dancing from the age of 4, training professionally in Ballet and Contemporary dance and also qualifying as a massage therapist in 2001. This has given her a thorough understanding of the body and how it works and through her holistic training she appreciates the mind/body/spirit connection which she fully incorporates into her teaching. Also, her lifetime of body work has given her a love and joy of physical movement.

Nadine qualified after studying for 3 years with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2008 and she is qualified in teaching Children of all ages. She qualified in teaching yoga to children with special needs and has completed her BWY module in teaching yoga to people living with cancer with Julie Friedeberger.

Emma Burton
Hatha
Emma Burton has been a keen practitioner and advocate for yoga therapy for the past six years. She trained in New York City with the Integral Yoga Institute and now practices as a Registered Yoga Teacher under the Yoga Alliance.

Emma teaches mainly Hatha-style yoga, combining physical poses (asana), breathing practice (pranayama) and meditation. Her aim is to allow the holistic practice of yoga to heal and invigorate the entire body on a cellular level: to encourage full and efficient breath-work: and to centre the mind.

Emma encourages both a non-competitive and challenging approach to yoga. She allows her students to understand their uniquely wonderful bodies, to integrate physical limitations, as well as to challenge it to grow and for the yoga practice to deepen.

Honor Legh
Iyengar
Honor has been a dedicated practitioner of Iyengar yoga since a young age. The transformative power of yoga is what has led her to study the subject in depth and inspired her to teach.

Honor’'s teaching is full of energy and insight, with an emphasis on the cultivation of awareness and understanding of the practices. She encourages a balance between effort and relaxation, always paying attention to the needs of the individual as well as of the group. As a teacher, it is her aim to cultivate good health and balance in her students by helping everyone to improve progressively in a safe and supportive environment.

As well as being certified to teach the Iyengar method Honor holds an ITEC diploma in Anatomy and Physiology and in Holistic Nutrition. She continues to develop her personal skills in the interest of her valued students and to continue her own growth as at teacher and practitioner. Her love of yoga is what brings her teaching alive and her energy, passion and sensitivity are what makes her classes enjoyable and accessible to everyone.

Honor grew up in London and has a background in the arts and alternative medicine, studying fine art before focusing much of her energy on the practice of yoga. This hasn'’t stopped her from packing a backpack and setting off to see the world. She has traveled for many months each year all over South America, South East Asia, India and Europe in pursuit of experience, a broader mind and a sturdy palm tree to hang her hammock! Her globetrotting has taken her to India where she studied yoga and ayurveda and enjoyed her favourite food. This year Honor has a trip planned to Pune in India where she will have the privilege to study at the Ramamani Memorial Iyengar Yoga Institute and bring back inspiration for her classes.
