About
Juliet recently relocated back to her home County of Leicestershire after living in Norfolk for 11 years where she built a huge yoga community, at the peak, teaching up to 100 people per week. Having worked as a PA for 25 years, she decided to change career and train to be a Forrest Yoga and Meditation teacher as a result of her love for the practice and her quest to learn how to relieve the pain from her own injuries and stresses. In November 2022, Juliet also to teach Yin Yoga.
Juliet is also a qualified and Aromatherapist as well as offering other therapy treatments including Natural Lift Facial Massage (Facial Rejuvenation), Traditional Thai Foot Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Myofascial Release Therapy. All therapies are accredited Diplomas and fully insured by Yoga Alliance Professionals (Balens).
Juliet prides herself on her knowledge and experience of the human anatomy and physiology having studied this as part of her yoga training with Professor Ellen Heed and through her therapy/massage work.
“Yoga found me 25 years ago. At the time, I was high on fitness and trained 6 days a week including running, cycling and high-impact fitness classes. I thought I’d been lucky and had avoided injury until I reached 40 years old.
A running accident resulted in a twisted and tilted pelvis which gave me lower back, hip pain and sciatica. A weights class gave me a neck injury which resulted in constant pain and regular migraines. At a similar time, I began fertility treatment – this intrusive treatment, along with my addiction for high-impact training, meant I had to take my foot off the accelerator and start to listen to my body. My body was telling me to slow down and look after myself. Yoga taught me to breathe again and take quality time out for me. Forrest and Yin Yoga, specifically, taught me the poses to manage my own pain and injuries.
"At 51, I'm stronger, more centred and confident than I was in my 20s. Now in the menopausal phase of my precious life, I am conscious of moving my body in a way which makes me feel good. Yoga (particularly Forrest) has changed my life; so much so, that I want to share it with others - to help them get stronger; to heal.
I love to learn - a day without learning is a day without living! I absolutely love alignment, anatomy-based yoga and inviting my students to get curious about the link between physical pain and emotions.
I am also qualified to teach Yin Yoga which is wonderful for joint mobility and flexibility. I love how this style focuses on meridian lines and energy, organ health, seasons and elements. This style of yoga encourages a 'slowing down' and deep dive into breathwork with feeling."
- Juliet Allen

My future development and training
I have been personally trained by Ana Forrest and I feel very proud of this. Being a Yoga teacher means that I constantly strive to learn more, deepen my own practice and develop my teaching and assisting skills. I am also a qualified to teach Meditation, Ceremony and Mindfulness.
During 2024, I aim to explore other professional offerings and yoga trainings.
