The Yoga Pharmacist

The Yoga Pharmacist, run by Alisha, is a yoga instructor based in Slough, UK. With a background in pharmaceuticals, Alisha brings a unique perspective to her yoga practise, combining her knowledge of medicine with the healing power of yoga.

Alisha has been working as a pharmacist in the UK for 7 years, with experience in both community pharmacy and corporate settings. However, she found that her career was becoming demanding and unfulfilling. In search of a solution, Alisha turned to yoga, practising with her mother who is also a yoga teacher. She quickly witnessed the positive impact it had on her life, both mentally and physically, as it helped to reduce her stress and anxiety, while improving her strength, flexibility, and overall well-being.

Having observed the over-prescription of medications in the pharmacy field, Alisha became passionate about teaching others how to manage their own conditions through yoga. She pursued Ashtanga & Hatha Yoga training in Goa, India, as well as Iyengar-inspired yoga training in Greece. Additionally, she continues to undertake additional training courses in the UK to expand her knowledge and teach various styles of yoga.

At The Yoga Pharmacist, Alisha offers classes suitable for all abilities, from complete beginners to advanced students. With a focus on individual needs, Alisha creates a welcoming and supportive environment for her students. She believes that yoga is for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level, and that it can help strengthen the body and relax the mind.

Yoga, with its 5,000-year history in ancient Indian philosophy, combines physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), mudras (yoga of the hands), meditation, and relaxation. The benefits of yoga are vast and include improving flexibility and balance, relieving depression, stress, and anxiety, enhancing sleep, toning the body, improving posture, aiding weight loss, increasing energy, enhancing concentration and mindfulness, and reducing aches and pains. It can also be beneficial for individuals with high blood pressure, heart disease, and other ailments.

If you are seeking a new kind of freedom and a genuinely transformative experience, The Yoga Pharmacist welcomes you to join their classes. Connect with Alisha today to embark on your yoga journey and discover the healing power of yoga. Namaste.
