Tim Mosley

Following an extended break due to illness, Tim returned to teaching after a long process of reacquainting himself both with the practice and with his body. How do familiar postures feel in a body that doesn’t work in the same way anymore? For Tim, balances are now harder than ever, more poses will have to be modified, and inversions..? Um, nah, don't think so.... Being visually impaired and blind in one eye, Tim doesn't see in 3D or have depth perception (making balancing postures his nemesis!). As such, he designs classes with a real focus on being accessible to all - and is as likely to encourage falling out of poses as he is to holding them. Expect classes that inspire an individual and creative take on the practice, and that are concerned solely with what a posture feels like, rather than what it looks like. Think ‘Moving + Breathing’ rather than a traditional yoga class.

Born and raised in London, Michael has always been athletic, competing in track and field events and participating in football whilst at school. He also has a background in martial arts from early childhood. Michael eventually discovered a hot yoga practise which he found complimentary to his various sports and which greatly helped improve his range of motion – hugely beneficial to any athlete!

He started practising Hot Pilates in 2017 and found himself gaining strength and core stability very quickly due to the intensity of the classes. The sessions were always enjoyable being set to inspiring music generating an incredible group energy. In early 2022, Michael finally took the plunge and joined the Inferno Pilates Teacher Training co-led by Bikram Yoga London in London’s Canary Wharf. Michael feels that this has definitely been one of the best decisions he’s ever made!
