Active Inspirations was founded by Sally-Ann Raffell in 2003, in response to an identified need for Back-Care focussed Personal Training, which she delivered through Pilates style approaches based on 13 years of fitness and exercise teaching, and her own experience of managing back pain.
In 2004 Sally-Ann met Jenny Beeken, co-founder of The Inner Yoga Trust and entered their Yoga Teacher Training Programme, which inspired and altered her approach to teaching. Sally-Ann qualified as a Yoga teacher in 2008 and since that time has dedicated her teaching to Yoga, offering Yoga classes, Yoga Therapy and a unique approach to back care through an integrated approach which she calls Core-Flex Yoga.
