My background has always been in health and fitness; I have over 20 years (gulp!!) of experience & qualifications. I continue to learn, grow, and study various types of yoga, and now, I blend techniques and practices, allowing me to create a method of movement that complements how the body moves daily- TDY Yoga.

Power Yoga Foundations - Yin Yoga

Charlotte Spink

Charlotte Spink is a 450-hour Yoga Alliance registered teacher with extensive training in both Power Yoga and Yin Yoga. Alongside her yoga qualifications, she is a certified Personal Trainer, Reiki Practitioner (Levels 1 and 2), and Ayurveda Educator trained through the California College of Ayurveda. She has furthered her studies with internationally recognised teachers including Jason Crandell, Judith Hanson Lasater, Norman Blair, and Eddie Stern. Her training combines different yoga approaches from her teachers, along with mindfulness, anatomy, and holistic wellbeing.

Charlotte’s teaching is shaped by her own personal journey with yoga, which she first discovered at a pivotal time in her life in her early twenties, an experience that deeply influenced her path and practice. She is passionate about helping people create balance in their lives through movement, stillness, and mindful awareness.

Her classes offer both energy and calm. Whether you join a Power Yoga Foundations class or a slower-paced Yin Yoga practice, you can expect to build strength, improve mobility, release tension, and leave feeling more balanced, grounded, and connected to yourself.

Hatha Yoga  

Emilia Joymechk

Hi, I’m Emilia, a 200-hour Yoga Teacher & Women’s Empowerment Coach. Founder of HER Holistics Coaching, I guide women to reconnect with their bodies, balance strength with softness, and find stillness in a busy world.

Through my gentle Hatha Yoga sessions, I invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and come home to your body. In my classes, we move mindfully, connecting movement with breath, awareness with sensation. These practices help you reconnect with your inner rhythm, calm the mind, and awaken the quiet strength that already lives within you.

Our bodies hold our emotions, our stories, and our power. The body is not separate from the mind; it is the living expression of the mind, the bridge between the seen and unseen parts of us.

My mission is to help you feel safe, whole, and worthy in your body, to move with awareness, meet yourself with compassion, and return, again and again, to the sanctuary of your inner peace.

Ashtanga – Vinyasa Flow – Hatha Flow

Rose Charles

Hey, I’m Rose. I’ve been practising yoga for about a decade, and about 5 years ago, my first in-person class was at this very studio with Angela. Yoga Blackpool was the place where I found solace, peace and a route back to myself when I was going through a difficult time.

I was inspired to go deeper on this journey, and found myself in India practising Yoga & also doing my Yoga Teacher Training. I completed 550 hours of training in India across Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Yin. I have since done additional training in alignment & hands-on adjustment. I believe yoga can help us become more compassionate beings toward others and ourselves, and we definitely live in a world that could use more of that.

I teach various styles and levels, from gentle yoga for those wanting a more restful & grounded practice, to Hatha Flow for those wanting a more dynamic, heat-building practice, to Ashtanga for those who enjoy a structured and disciplined practice.

Mindful breathing and connection to the body are always encouraged, regardless of the style of practice, and focus on the alignment is also a key component of my classes (you feel like your body opening up in a whole different way - trust me).

Aerial and Vinyasa Flow

Natasha Coco

Hi, I’m Natasha. As a former professional ice skater, movement has always been at the heart of my life. After living in Florida for ten years, where I completed my Vinyasa Teacher Training, I discovered the transformative power of slowing down.

I am a wedding photographer constantly immersed in high-energy, fast-paced environments; Vinyasa Slow has become an essential part of my balance. It’s my way of reconnecting with the calm, grounding the body, and easing the anxious energy that comes from constantly having to be “switched on.” I’m passionate about helping others find that same stillness through mindful movement and intentional breath. Looking forward to meeting you on the mat.

Administration and Events Coordinator

Katie Nicholls

Hi, I’m Katie, and I have spent the past decade learning from and supporting wellness practitioners around the world. One of the most formative periods for me was working at The Dreaming in Wales, where I learned a great deal from Charlotte Church and her team. The experience deepened my understanding of sound healing, which has become a profoundly meaningful and fulfilling practice I now share with others. It also taught me about the day-to-day running of a large retreat and events space.

I’m really excited to be part of the YogaRise Blackpool team. I’ll be supporting everyone in the yogi community here and working with the amazing teachers to create special workshops and events for you to enjoy.

If there’s anything specific you’d love to see on the schedule here, send me a message: hello@yogariseblackpool.com.
