About your Trainer: Abby Hoffmann
With a lifelong passion for movement and embodiment, Abby Hoffmann brings over 4 decades of experience as both as a dancer and yoga Elder. Prior to becoming a
full-time yogi, Abby worked as a performer, teacher, and choreographer before immersing herself fully in the practice and teaching of yoga in the late 1990s.
Abby has been teaching yoga for nearly 30 years and practising for even longer. She trained with Yoga Campus (formerly The Life Centre Education) and continues to deepen her knowledge through extensive workshops and intensives with leading teachers around the world. Her studies have taken her to Mysore, India, where she practised traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with the late SK Pattabhi Jois and his grandson, the late Sharath.
Dedicated to lifelong learning, Abby is committed to ongoing professional development and to supporting the next generation of yoga teachers. She has been training yoga teachers since 2008 starting at CamYoga and other leading UK institutions. In 2012, she founded Embodied Dancer — a pioneering, dance-specific yoga teacher training programme that has successfully trained multiple cohorts of students. Abby also collaborated with senior UK teachers including Caroline Gill, Dina Cohen, Mark Freeth, and Christopher Gladwell to deliver advanced 300-hour trainings and specialist workshops.
Abby holds a BA (Hons) in Dance Studies (Middlesex University), an MSc in Dance Science (Trinity Laban Conservatoire), and a PhD in Yoga and the Dancer (Middlesex University) — reflecting her deep fascination with science, movement, and embodied practice.
In 2024, she founded Yantra Studio in Norwich, UK, where she teaches public classes, private sessions, and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) for yoga teachers.
She is a Yoga Alliance USA YACEP Trainer and Continuing Education Provider. Abby provides mentorship for trainee and new teachers through her studio.
