Alina will provide variations to cater to yogis of all levels – from new yogis to advanced practitioners.

Irek Bialek
Massage therapist/ Pilates & Yoga Teacher
Passionate about anatomy, functional movement and soft tissue manipulation, Irek uses a combination of techniques to help clients achieve their goals. His passion and constant thirst for knowledge led him to gain qualification as a vinyasa yoga teacher and join UCO to study osteopathy. It is his mission to create more awareness and teach his clients how they can lead happier and healthier lives by making small and easy changes to their lifestyles.
He is currently running a successful clinic near Liverpool Street station where you can find him teaching and treating his clients to a better health and quality of life.
Tim Byford
Gong Practitioner
Tim is a gong practitioner, musician, and facilitator. He graduated in music and went on to work in the entertainment industry and as a community musician working with the homeless and young people. During this time he also studied hypnotherapy.
In 2010 he was introduced to the gong and was immediately entranced. Initial study with the College of Sound Healing led to the realisation that the field of sacred sound was the perfect fit for his past experience, as a musician, working with people and his interest and deep love of the esoteric. He continued to deepen his knowledge in the way of the gong with multiple trainings with Gong Masters Don Conreaux and Aidan Mcintyre and takes the approach that it is life long learning.
He currently works with the gong, drum, and other instruments delivering events, workshops, and training. He aims to approach his work with deep care and a sense of playfulness.
