One-to-One Yoga with Ali Masterman
I am a compassionate and insightful yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience. I completed my initial teacher training at the Sivananda Ashram in Neyer Dam, Kerala, India, and have since trained, qualified, and taught in a wide range of yoga styles. Over the years, I have developed a special focus on women’s health — from pre- and postnatal care, inspired by my own pregnancies, to now supporting women through midlife and menopause with practices tailored to this important stage of life.
While I value many traditions of yoga, Restorative Yoga resonates most deeply with me. I am naturally drawn to slower, more nurturing practices that invite students to pause in today’s fast-paced world. In both group classes and one-to-one sessions, I gently encourage students/clients to slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and rediscover the power of their breath.
I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where everyone feels at ease. My classes are relaxed and nurturing, fostering a sense of community and connection while offering space to actively rest and truly unwind.
I hold advanced certificates in Restorative Yoga, having trained with Judith Hanson Lasater and Anna Ashby. I am deeply fascinated by the body–mind connection and continually build on my knowledge to better support and guide my students.
If Restorative Yoga is new to you, it is a gentle practice that uses passive, fully supported poses and props to allow the nervous system to settle and reset. By allowing the body to be completed supported, this deeply restful approach encourages profound relaxation and restores a natural sense of calm and balance to both body and mind. I have witnessed how powerful this work can be, students & clients often leave my classes feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a visibly sense of ease and peace.

This month Sophie and Dr Sunila are focusing on how acupuncture can support us through stressful and pressurised times...
Stress and anxiety can manifest in many ways - whether it’s racing thoughts that keep you up at night, a pounding heart, or an unsettled stomach. These feelings are your body’s way of signaling that it’s sensing danger, even if the threat isn’t immediate.
But when stress doesn’t switch off, it can feel like a pressure cooker building up inside. If left unchecked, this can lead to physical symptoms like tension headaches, digestive issues, or changes in your menstrual cycle. That’s where acupuncture can help.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, stress and anxiety disrupt the balance of Qi (energy) in the body and scatter the “Shen,” or spirit. Acupuncture helps to restore this balance, calming the mind and reconnecting the body.
From a Western perspective, acupuncture regulates the nervous system, helping to reduce stress hormones while stimulating the production of serotonin and dopamine—the same ‘happy’ chemicals targeted by anti-anxiety medications. This makes acupuncture a truly complementary way to help you manage stress and anxiety over the long term.
At the Acupuncture Collective, Sophie and Dr. Sunila offer treatments designed to bring your body and mind back into harmony. Whether you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or simply need a way to let off steam, acupuncture could be the vent you’ve been looking for.
Needles in, stress out.
Join Sophie and Dr. Sunila at the next Acupuncture Collective and take the first step toward finding your calm.
Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Wednesday 18th February.
