I believe movement should help you feel better in your body

I’m Amanda Corsi, founder of Docklands Yoga and Retreats. My journey into yoga and Pilates began over 20 years ago, driven by a deep curiosity about how movement can support not only the body, but the whole person. Over the years, this curiosity has grown into a lifelong passion for teaching practices that help people feel stronger, calmer, and more at ease in their everyday lives.

I am a senior yoga teacher with over 500 hours of training, registered with Yoga Alliance UK, and a certified STOTT Pilates instructor. I have also trained as a personal trainer, allowing me to bring a safe, intelligent, and well-rounded approach to all my classes and retreats. My teaching is continuously informed by ongoing study with internationally respected teachers and by years of hands-on experience.

For more than a decade, I have taught yoga and Pilates in corporate environments, studios, and retreats across the UK and Italy, working with people who lead busy, demanding lives. This experience has shaped the way I teach today — with sensitivity, clarity, and a strong focus on sustainability, so practices feel supportive rather than overwhelming.

At the heart of everything I offer is the intention to create spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and feel genuinely cared for — whether that’s in a weekly class, a corporate session, or a retreat surrounded by nature.

Docklands Yoga & Retreats was created in 2010 from a simple idea: to offer a space of calm and restoration within busy, demanding lives.

What began as a single yoga class in a local community centre has gradually grown into a wider offering that includes yoga and Pilates classes, corporate wellbeing programmes, and carefully curated retreats in the UK and Italy.

Over the years, Docklands Yoga & Retreats has worked with individuals, companies, and private clients — from city professionals and corporate teams to boutique gyms and retreat venues across Europe. At every stage, the focus has remained the same: quality teaching, personal attention, and practices that genuinely support wellbeing.

Today, Docklands Yoga & Retreats continues to offer thoughtful, small-group experiences designed to help people slow down, reconnect, and feel better in their bodies — whether in the heart of the city or immersed in nature.

Patricia is an enthusiastic and passionate Pilates teacher and Personal trainer who started her fitness career over a 10 years ago, but she developed her movement skills through dance, gymnastics, and strength training already during her childhood and teenage years.
She likes to share her knowledge of the workings of the mind and body to help people to improve their physique and overall well-being, but above all she wants her participants to have fun.

Bea started her yoga journey in 1999 as part of her dance and movement training. During her career in the performing arts, her regular yoga practice helped her  to grow a healthier and more sensible body, able to quickly recover and prevent from injury.
