The Wellness Warriors Team

Becky Hickman

Yoga Teacher and Studio Owner

Since completing her 200-hours Becky has delved into all things yoga and wellbeing. She has gone on her own healing journey the past year, and knows first hand the importance of community, friendships and taking time for yourself.

In Becky’s classes you will be greeted with open arms, welcomed like she’s known you forever and guided through the postures in a fun, creative way.

Three fun facts about me:

1. I love to surf. My favorite spot is Saunton Sands and when I get a weekend off we are straight up in the van, having a pizza from Stoked.  Sleeping and listening to the ocean and enjoying our pre-surf coffee from the Heartbreak Hotel in Braunton before heading in for a surf.
2. My dream holiday destination is Hawaii, and when I was younger I loved the movie Lilo and Stitch so much so that I got ‘Ohanna’ tattooed on my foot.  Ohanna means family, and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten. ​
3. I’ve had a multitude of jobs ranging from, Barista, Cabin Crew, Travel agent and even had a line in Shameless! But nothing has ever stuck, I went from place to place trying to settle and I can honestly say that I love what I do.

Wayne

I completed my 200-hour teacher training program in May 2022 studying my favourite practices of Vinyasa, Rocket, and Hot Yoga. I’m eager to share the strength and clarity my practice has given me with others.

My classes will allow you to challenge yourself at any level allowing yoga to meet you where you are today. You will leave feeling stronger and more balanced in body and mind.

Three fun facts about me:

• I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I love fast rollercoasters and have ridden most in the UK and a few in the USA. I have taken part in a number of track days driving Ferraris and Lamborghinis and even managed to spin a single seated race car off the track into the gravel trap, oops.
• I have a weakness for Ice Cream, any flavour at any time. I have been know to take a pot out of the freezer and sit and eat it all in one go.
• I don’t have any pets but don’t tell my neighbour’s cat that. Bob (that’s the cat) thinks he lives with me and I quite often come in and find him curled up on the sofa or sat outside waiting for me to come home.

Abbie

I specialise in helping individuals rediscover their body, regain their freedom of movement, rebuild their self-confidence, and acquire a genuine understanding of their body.

Having been immersed in the health and fitness industry since my teenage years, I have personally witnessed the transformative power of self-care.

Three fun facts about me:

• I love to cook and bake. In the kitchen is truly where my brain switches off and I get creative. Often cooking things that remind me of various travels.  If I am cooking for you, I’m loving you. Tell the bake off I’m ready!
• I always thought I was a dog person, but my cat greyskull showed me otherwise.
• I have competed in numerous sports- in a past life I used to run REAL fast.

Yuko

Hi all! Some of you might know me as a devoted participant of the Wellness Warriors’ yoga classes and have already seen me practicing next to you. I’m Yuko and excited to offer something I’m incredibly passionate about. I’ve been working as an Art Psychotherapist and Psychological Therapist in the NHS for 5+ years and trained as a yoga teacher with the Devon School of Yoga. My ethos both as a therapist and yoga teacher is to bring together all aspects of health and well-being whilst offering a warm, nourishing, accessible and friendly space.

Three fun facts about me:

• Brussel sprouts are my faaavourite veg. Sliced up, pan fried in some olive oil et voila! And if I’m feeling fancy I’ll add some pomegranate seeds. Yum yum.
• I love love love Midsomer Murders, the ones with John Nettles of course. It’s my (not even guilty) pleasure and the theme song is my ringtone.
• I’m Japanese-German, grew up in the Balearic Islands, have an Argentinian step-mother and have lived in the UK over the past 13 years. I feel that all of that is blended into my personality and my superpower is adaptability. Should have been a spy but chose a career in wellbeing instead. Or did I?

Victoria

I am a writer and voice coach, living in awe of the power of words. I work with poetry and creative non-fiction, and am excited to create some writing space where people can tap into their creativity and find their unique voice.

Whether through journaling, poetry, or freewriting, I truly believe that everyone has something to say, and I love helping others lean into the joy of expressing themselves through words.

Three fun facts about me:

• I am currently doing a research project on translation, which means I get to play with words all the time
• I love a seadip with a flask of something hot for after, find me on the beach with sandy feet
• I’d go for starter over dessert, dotted over lined, books over films, don’t make me choose between tea or coffee!

Jess

I am an UKSCA accredited strength and conditioning coach as well as an ASI level one surf coach and trainer assessor.

I have worked with a vast range of youth and professional athletes from a variety of backgrounds.

I am passionate about supporting your journey and developing your strength and mobility whether its to improve your lifestyle, work on a weakness or improve your athletic ability within a specific sport.

Three fun facts about me:

• I like to surf as much as possible, it keeps me sane and is a space where I don’t think about anything but surfing.
• I have a slight peanut butter addiction
• I like cows more than people

Meg

Amy

• I read Tarot and have a deep appreciation for the history of my Celtic and pagan ancestors. I often try to educate myself about the old ways and folklore.
• I was born and raised in Western Australia, but have lost my accent since moving when was young! I visit as often as I can because I love the lifestyle and miss all my wonderful friends.
• I enjoy creating art and poetry. My days off are normally spent wondering through forests, painting things that inspire me, and writing creatively, or reading literature.

Paul

I completed my 200 Hr yoga teacher training with Becky and Chloe in March 2025.
I’m keen to give back what yoga has given to me – peace, fitness and connection
(with myself, with others and with the deeper world around us).
I love quotes and if I were to choose two quotes that would summarise my yoga
classes it would be:

“People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing” ~ Dale Carnegie

“Poetry and Hums aren’t things which you get, they’re things which get you. And all you can do is go where they can find you” ~ Winnie the Pooh

Three fun facts about me:

• I have 2 children and we all love to go to live music together – music is an
  important part of my studio yoga classes.
• I surf (not very well but with enthusiasm!) – I enjoy immersing myself in nature,
  the presence, the fun, the joy – especially with my surf/ yoga family. This short
  film summarises surfing for me –

• I’m passionate about climate action, sustainability and making a difference to
  this Earth – after all good planets are hard to find!
