Jion Studios is home to the following 

Nicola Priest – Yoga

I am a passionate yoga teacher navigating the challenges of menopause and arthritis. My journey in fitness began at the age of 17, and I retrained in yoga in 2016 after discovering my love for it while living in the Middle East. For two decades, I engaged in high-energy, music-driven workouts to stay fit and strong, a practice I still cherish. However, yoga has taught me to strengthen my body in new ways that complement my love for sports and dancing in the kitchen.

One of the most challenging yet rewarding lessons l’ve learned is the importance of effective rest for both body and mind. Yoga serves as my lifeline, helping me stay strong, calm (most of the time), and attuned to my body’s needs. I find immense joy in sharing these lessons with my students. As a lifelong learner, I am currently studying Yoga Therapy to deepen my understanding and enhance my teaching.

Ady Gray – Karate

I embarked on my karate journey in 1978 at the age of 7, achieving my black belt, 1st Dan, in 1985 under the guidance of Sensei Kanazawa/Asano. My training has taken me across Europe and Japan, culminating in the award of my 6th Dan (Rokudan) on May 20, 2017, from my mentor and esteemed karate instructor, Sensei Dave Hazard, 7th Dan.

I am proud to have received multiple UK coaching awards, including the National Contribution Award for my innovative coaching and the success of the National team at the Commonwealth Games at the UK Karate Awards and also the UK Coaching children’s sports coach of the year. 

I am dedicated to continually advancing my own karate skills and coaching expertise. My coaching philosophy is person-centered, focusing on nurturing each individual’s unique personality and potential. I strive to elevate the coaching experience, fostering growth and development in every student.
