Meet Mariangela Spanedda your Yoga Instructor

Yoga Instructor

Mariangela is a qualified Hatha Yoga instructor with a 15-year teaching experience.

Mariangela practised initially in Italy as an Iyengar Yoga instructor, highlighting her attention to alignment and precision during the practice. She came over to England and joined our team 6 years ago.

Mariangela has always thought that Yoga shouldn’t be only for an “elite”, but it should be integrated in everyone’s everyday life. Therefore, she worked for 15 years to bring Yoga in schools (from nursery to high school) and to seniors, making sure that the practice was fit for each person and adapted to everyone’s needs. In her years of teaching, she has learned to help people overcoming physical issues (backache, joint pains etc.) and the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

She also worked on the athletic training of junior and master swim team for UISP (Italian Sport Union) in Orvieto.

“I believe that a strong bond between teacher and pupils is the foundation of a successful class, so I’m always eager to establish a connection with my students.”

    I attend pilates with Louise and yoga class with Mariangela to improve my flexibility and mobility. I have to say i enjoy the classes hugely and spent a lot of time laughing. I cannot thank those two ladies enough for what they've done for me.

    Patient review

    The staff is very qualified and committed. The staff take care of our particular aspects of health. This summer I attended a yoga class with Suze who really gave me personal exercises to deal with my pain, and progressively adapted to my progress. It has helped me dramatically, and at the end of the sessions I could practice all the exercises easily and without any pain anymore. We learn how to relax. In addition to the exercises in the practice, we had a good guidance with hands out and on line to keep practising daily. It was very useful and helpful. I recommend this yoga practice and also Pilates which reinforce so much our posture and our flexibility. The staff is always updating his knowledge and very helpful. Small group and good atmosphere. Good programme making us working on each part of the body without any pain. Flexibility of days, kindness of all the staff. A very pleasant practice with trust and high quality of services.

    Brilliant, Sally helped with a lot of physio after an accident which led to me also joining the yoga classes. Everyone is super friendly and very welcoming especially Laura and her mum on reception. I really look forward to my Friday night Yoga sessions. KR Leon

    Patient review

    As I've aged I've found that I've got increasingly stiff and my joints and mobility have significantly reduced. To counteract these conditions I have been thinking about taking up Pilates and Yoga again, I used to attend classes but dropped out several years ago due to a change in my circumstances. I found Impact Physio through a recommendation from a friend and decided to join. I have now been attending both Pilates and Yoga classes since September this year and have seen a big difference in how I feel physically. The classes are not only good for me but I find them hugely enjoyable, I get a real ""buzz"" out of the exercises. In addition to the feel good factor generated by the exercises, a big plus about going to Impact Physio is that the staff are friendly and approachable. This makes the classes a very good experience, one I would recommend.

    My First experience was with Chris Davenport on referral for hip and spine problems by my GP. Two courses done and he recommended Hatha yoga to supplement his treatment and help me long term. However before I could implement it lockdown came in so it was delayed until Autumn this year. I signed (with Mariangela)not fully knowing or expecting much in the way of personal tailoring or yoga exercise to be relevant to my situation. I needn’t have worried as the class of six is like minded and Mariangela caters (and cares) for us all. Bonus is it seems to be working; thanks Mariangela. The covid care from all at LE clinic is first class and not uncomfortable allowing for windows open. Reception staff always friendly with a smile. All in all just the tonic Update following treatment again in 2023 Not the first time I’ve used this service, same location, same Physiotherapist (Chris Davenport) and yes the same receptionist’s. As before they provided me with the ( in my view) the best treatment they could given my arthritis coupled with a set treatment time scale provided by the NHS. Thanks to all the staff.

    Full payment  must be received prior to the beginning of the course term.

    Once the course has started, no refunds are possible however we will do our best to accommodate you in alternative classes.

    If you are unsure whether a class is suitable for you, we’d recommend you speak to one of our instructors, or even better, arrange a 1:1 session to check the class is suitable for you.

    The classes are held at our Long Eaton Clinic.

    Our breakfast and lunchtime classes last for just an hour to allow you to fit these into your schedule. The classes on a Friday last for 1 hour 15 minutes, this allows plenty of time to adapt to the class if you’re rushing in and time to get going again before heading off, facilitating a great start to the weekend.

    All new students will need to download and complete our medical questionnaire

    By holding smaller classes, we can provide an increased individual assessment; closer supervision and correction:
