Our People

Lyn Long
Shambhala Studios is run by Lyn and her dedicated team of teachers and therapists. After illness and a long search to find a premises that provided the right atmosphere, the studio was opened in February 2007 and is Leigh’s premier yoga centre.

She is very reticent about blowing her own trumpet and probably won’t let me put this on the website publicly but Lyn’s determination to provide a calm, relaxing haven away from today’s busy urban jungle has been an inspiration to all who work with her.

Nicky Lane
Nicky’s smiling face is the first thing you see when you walk through the door at Shambhala Studios. Always calm and patient, she handles the day to day running of the studio, dealing with reservations, class fees and booking enquiries, pointing everyone towards the right class for their requirements and abilities.

Alison Palmby
As well as being a Yoga Teacher and Reflexologist, Alison is one of the Studio Co-ordinators and works with our teachers to ensure that classes run smoothly and efficiently.

Amanda Turner
As well as being a Yoga Teacher Amanda is one of the Studio Co-ordinators, overseeing the running of the Studio and organising regular seminars with external practitioners. These ensure that our teachers remain on the top of their game when it comes to the latest advances in our practise. She also arranges regular workshops for our clientele to explore the variety of styles and therapies that we have on offer.

Steve Long
