Meet Hayley.

Hayley is a certified Ayurvedic Practitioner (AAPUK) and Yoga Teacher (YTT 500hrs) with over 15 years of study, practice, and wholehearted devotion to the healing philosophies of Yoga and Ayurveda.

Her journey began in her early twenties, living amidst the lush rhythms of Sri Lanka. What started as a personal exploration of self-awareness quietly grew into a life’s calling—one that continues today from her home in Portugal.

Though deeply drawn to these ancient practices from a young age, Hayley initially pursued a career in the business and fashion worlds—thriving professionally, but slowly losing connection to her own inner vitality. It wasn’t until a period of burnout and a series of health diagnoses that she returned to what had once sparked her soul. With the guidance of an Ayurvedic doctor, she began to listen more closely to her body, the natural world, and the deeper truths she had long been nudging aside.

This became the beginning of her healing, one rooted not in quick fixes, but in rhythm, ritual, and realignment. Through movement, breath, and self-study, Hayley reclaimed her health and redefined her path.

Today, she brings that same sense of presence and possibility to others. Her yoga classes are playful yet precise, soulful yet strong, designed to foster flexibility both on and off the mat. In her words: “Practising yoga helps me find my inner child. It frees my body, clears my mind, and opens my heart.”

Hayley believes in conscious, joyful living: that our thoughts, our choices, and what we consume all shape our experience of the world—and of ourselves. Her approach is grounded, compassionate, and refreshingly real, encouraging each student to navigate their own path with curiosity and care.

In 2020, she co-founded Roam Retreats with her friend and collaborator Louise—a space for people to pause, reconnect, and remember who they are beneath the noise. Through Roam Retreats, Hayley hopes to spark curiosity, inspire and motivate.

A good teacher never ceases to be a student, and Hayley continues to learn under the mentorship of The Ayurvedic Clinic UK and advanced yoga teachers such as Meghan Currie, Leslie Kaminoff and Chris Chavez.
