Justine Simon

Justine can be found teaching regular classes and extended workshops in Brighton and Hove. Her practice is playful and inquisitive, with a focus on awareness rather than alignment. When not on her mat, she can be found spending time with her family including her newest addition, the grandson. Or you might see her with her beautiful but skittish Miniature Husky, Chewie Barker.

Read Full Bio

Justine has taught for 25 years and worked in Brighton and Hove as a Yoga teacher since 2015. She teaches a variety of styles including Embodied Flow, Yin and Restorative practices. She really loves building up a creative sequence and finding the joy in a flow with the belief that the breath leads every practice and so will always incorporate a range of Mindfulness Meditation within each class. Her teaching is energetic and enthusiastic; years ago, her mentor said that we should strive to teach every lesson as though it was our last and she has used this as a mantra throughout life.
