Since then Unity has expanded to become a Training School, where she has lovingly created her own Yoga Teacher Training Diploma (previously IYN, now YTT) and Holistic Massage (MTI) Diploma since 2000\/02. She has also established courses in Unity Partner Yoga\u2122 Teacher Training (previously IYN, now YTT) and Reiki (Embody).<\/p>\n

This was opened in September 2019 as The Unity Centre; a landmark spa and studio offering floatation therapy, an infra red sauna, massage therapies, classes and workshops in yoga, pilates and much more.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1562923193537{padding-top: 0px !important;}” el_class=”col2rowtr trbg”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes”][vc_column_inner el_class=”trbox first trb” width=”1\/2″]
