About us

Dawn
Adult & Children’s
Yoga Teacher
Dawn found yoga in 2013 shortly after her son had been born. She was working long hours as a Primary school teacher at the time and with two young children at home, life was hectic to say the least. Yoga made her feel as if she had come home to herself.
Dawn soon qualified as a Children’s Yoga Teacher and began sharing the magic of yoga with the children she taught. She has been successfully teaching yoga and mindfulness in schools across the primary age range for 10 years.
Dawn completed her 300hr Adult Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Kula in Leeds. This is when her vision for an Earth Tree Yoga Studio was born. Dawn believes that yoga is for every body and hopes that Wetherby’s first dedicated yoga studio can be of real service to her local community. Yoga has brought so much gratitude, peace and joy to Dawn’s life. She hopes to see you on the mat and share yoga with you too!


Pratibha
Yoga Teacher
Pratibha believes you can’t choose Yoga, Yoga chooses you. She was initiated into the traditional formats of spirituality and connecting with inner self by her parents and gurus at the age of 5,where she learnt and practiced meditation, mantra chanting, bhakti/devotion and service.
Pratibha’s urge to undertake some soul searching and find peace in the moment instead of running after life, made her gather the courage to give up her corporate HR career for Yoga 4 years ago, and undertake her 200hrs YTT. Pratibha teaches intuitively and creates safe spaces that enable her students to be themselves. Every class is an inspiration to create harmony in life, develop physical and mental strength and feel free in mind and body.
