Studio partners

Rooted in respected studio communities

Thames Wellness Academy draws its deepest support from the founding studios of our co-founders and the certified, lineage-led practitioners who teach within them.

Blessing and support

Education strengthened by practitioners in practice

The academy's growth in education and skills development is strengthened by professional, dedicated and passionate practitioners who have given their blessing and active support. These are studio communities built over years of teaching, clinical work and disciplined lineage practice, not passive affiliations on a website.

Our two founding studio partners are the respective studios of Katia Major and Raili Maripuu. Together, their teams bring the credibility, warmth and teaching depth that shape how we train the next generation of wellness educators.

Practitioner network

Blessing from those who teach every week

Main support for Thames Wellness Academy comes from the professional, dedicated and passionate certified and lineage-led practitioners within Yoga Reading and Goyoga Tallinn. Their blessing and active encouragement shape curriculum quality, supervised practicum standards and the confidence we place in every graduate.

Whether anatomy-informed soft tissue therapists in Berkshire or Lino Miele-recognised Ashtanga teachers in Tallinn, these practitioners embody the standards we expect from our own trainees: clarity, kindness, credibility and a lifelong commitment to learning.
