About Freya
My Path To Presence
Hi, I’m Freya Williams — a yoga and meditation teacher, massage therapist, and nutritionist from the UK, now living and teaching in Sri Lanka.
My work is rooted in real experience — not just certifications.
At age 15, I was diagnosed with anorexia, anxiety, and depression. It was yoga that gave me a way back into my body — not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. It taught me to soften, to breathe, and to begin healing. That’s when I knew this practice was more than movement. It was medicine.
At 18, I completed my first 200-hour teacher training in Thailand. Since then, I’ve gone on to earn additional certificates, became a ERYT-500 and certified teacher trainer, lead retreats and yoga teacher trainings, and worked with students all over the world — from beginners to yoga teachers, from surfers and athletes to those in recovery. I’ve taught in jungles, surf towns, city studios, and online — and everywhere, I return to the same truth: transformation happens when we move with intention, feel with honesty, and learn to trust ourselves again…
A Holistic Approach
Alongside yoga, I studied nutrition at the University of Leeds, where I gained a scientific foundation in how food can support energy, resilience, and emotional wellbeing. Today, I blend that knowledge with yogic wisdom and lived experience to help people nourish themselves in a truly holistic way — on and off the mat.
I’m also a certified massage therapist. Touch is a core part of my teaching — not as correction, but as connection. I offer deep tissue massage, partner massage workshops, and hands-on assists in class to help people feel more, not just perform better.
Even in my online work, I bring this experience into how I teach — offering self-massage tools, assistive cueing techniques, and mentoring for teachers who want to feel more confident using touch with care and purpose.
__________
When I’m not teaching, you’ll usually find me in the ocean. Surfing has taught me a lot about resilience, breath, balance, and surrender — lessons that echo in my yoga practice and the way I teach.
I see movement as a way to process life. To regulate the nervous system. To rebuild trust in the body. My classes reflect that — whether it’s strong, functional vinyasa or deeply restorative yin.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your personal practice, become a yoga teacher, or learn how to truly nourish yourself — this space is for you.
Why I Do This
I believe in the power of movement to shift how we think, feel, and live.
I believe in the body’s intelligence — and in the healing power of touch, presence, and breath.
I believe nourishment goes far beyond food — it’s how we move, how we relate, and how we give ourselves permission to rest.
My teaching blends science and intuition, biomechanics and breath, structure and softness.
It’s not about performance — it’s about reconnection.
“Freya’s teaching is a rare blend of depth, warmth, and integrity. Her deep understanding of anatomy and movement, combined with her nurturing approach, creates a space where I feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether it’s through her yoga classes, massage therapy, or nutrition guidance, Freya’s holistic approach has profoundly impacted my journey towards self-discovery and healing.”
