About
Experience and Training
I have been a massage therapist since 1994 and a yoga teacher since 1996.
I have worked in the U.K. (London, Surrey and Edinburgh), Grenada (La Source, Rex Grenadian, The Calabash and other venues including private homes) and at Petit St.Vincent resort, St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean. I returned to the UK in the summer of 2011.
I have a B.A. (Hons.) in Social Psychology from the University of Sussex, U.K. I trained soon after in Body Massage, Anatomy and Physiology at the Wilbury School of Natural Therapy in Hove, Sussex, and gained an I.T.E.C. qualification. I hold a yoga teachers’ (200 hour) certificate from the Sivananda Ashram in Reith, Austria, which has international recognition through the US-based ‘Yoga Alliance’. I have a Reiki II (Practitioner’s Level) qualification from London, U.K.
Holyrood Yoga offers yoga classes to all age groups and abilities. Small class sizes (maximum 8 people) in a home environment make the atmosphere friendly and non-competitive. You will be placed in a class that suits your ability and experience. Private and drop-in classes are also available.
NEW! Beginners’ 6 week course, starting at the Carlton Centre on Friday mornings at 10-11:15am, from the 3rd February. Perfect for parents who have just put their youngest child into nursery!
Soon I will be offering a drop-in meditation session for half an hour, which will be free of charge.
Appointments for massage are normally an hour in duration, but you can request a longer session of up to an hour and a half. The massage is a blend of Swedish techniques, acupressure, deep-tissue massage, reflexology and Reiki. I also offer Reiki and reflexology as stand-alone treatments.
Stop by for a soothing break in your busy day. You can book a yoga class or massage appointment at a time convenient to your schedule, perhaps while the kids are at school, or after work. Parking available on the street. If you are coming by bus, it’s a short walk from the London Road.
I look forward to seeing you soon,
Lisa Williams
