Heather Elise Nelson

Heather Elise Nelson is a 200 hour certified Vinyasa Yoga, 20 hour Yin Yoga instructor and EFT Tapping Practitioner from Manchester, England. Her philosophy when it comes to yoga is that it’s for every body, and it’s a yoga practice, not yoga perfect. She discovered the power of yoga 8 years ago when she was studying abroad in Canada, feeling like a fish out of water - yoga grounded her and was her savior during the difficult times. The transformation she experienced is what inspired her to become a yoga instructor to share the magic of this ancient practice.

More recently, she created Tap Into Your Magic - a movement dedicated to helping you to remember your innate magic inside of you using the power of EFT and other healing modalities, such as yoga, meditation, astrology and tarot.

She is a popular host on the #1 meditation app Insight Timer, delivering live sessions to hundreds of people and has several courses on there including “EFT Tapping for Gratitude” and "EFT Chakra Healing" with over 5000 students taking part to tap into their own magic.

Outside of her yoga and tapping, you can find her performing in theater and movies, she enjoys travel and exploring, and she’s a big vegan foodie.

You can find her posting weekly tapping and yoga videos on her growing YouTube channel "Tap Into Your Magic with Heather Elise".

If you sign up to the Tarot & Astrology Retreat, you will receive her highly-rated “Moon Manifesting & EFT Tapping” course for FREE (RRP £59.99) on Udemy

Alexandra Lazarescu

Hi, I'm Alexandra Lazarescu, and I've been immersed in the wonderful world of yoga for over a decade. Teaching this beautiful practice has been my passion for the past seven years. My yoga journey took an exciting turn eight years ago when I embarked on a transformative six-month trip to Asia. In Nepal, I had the incredible opportunity to learn from gifted yoga masters who encouraged me to further my training in India. Fast forward to 2016 and I proudly obtained my yoga teacher certification from Parimukti Yoga School in Arambol, Goa. Little did I know, that 200-hour YTTC course was just the starting point of my profound exploration into the essence of yoga. It fuelled my desire to delve deeper, uncovering the true purpose of yoga as a tool for self-discovery, self-love, acceptance, and liberation from self-judgment. My journey led me to additional certifications as a yoga nidra and pranayama teacher, adding more layers to my expertise.

My fascination with the mind-body connection grew, prompting me to pursue the Somawise course last year with Dr. Luke Sniewski, a wellbeing coach and somatic therapist. This integrative therapeutic approach empowers us to tap into the wisdom of our bodies, using various tools, including yoga.

One of my joys is practicing and teaching yoga outdoors. During my time in Nepal, the idea of yoga&trekking blossomed and it has since become my signature concept. I've been organising yoga treks in both Romania and Nepal, combining the serenity of yoga with the exhilaration of trekking. It's been a remarkable journey, and I'm excited to continue sharing the transformative power of yoga with others."

Practice with Alexandra at Akasha Retreat between 7 - 10 March on our Flower Power Women Only 3 Night retreat
