Meet our Park Makers – local partners who help bring parks and open spaces to life through activities, events and community initiatives.
On this page, you can learn more about the people behind the programme, including what they do, where they’re based, how to get in touch, and the parks and communities they support. Whether you’re looking to join an activity, connect with a local partner or simply find out more, our Park Maker profiles are a great place to start.
In the other hand, if you are interested in becoming a Park Maker, please visit the main Park Makers Scheme page.
PLEASE NOTE: Session details, timings and availability may change. While we aim to keep the information on this page up to date, we recommend checking directly with the Park Maker before attending to confirm the latest details.

WOMEN’S OUTDOOR FITNESS
I am a qualified Fitness Instructor and ActiveWestminster Mark holder, delivering inclusive community fitness sessions across Westminster. My classes focus on improving physical health, confidence and wellbeing in a welcoming and supportive environment.
I work particularly with women who may face barriers to participating in physical activity, including those from lower-income backgrounds, women with limited access to fitness opportunities, and those who may not feel comfortable attending traditional gym environments due to cultural, financial or confidence-related reasons.
Through women’s fitness programmes and community-based activities, I aim to make exercise accessible, enjoyable and empowering for all participants, helping them to become more active, improve their wellbeing and build social connections within their local community.”

YOGA
Hi, I’m Teresa, a certified yoga teacher passionate about helping people improve their wellbeing through mindful movement, breath, and relaxation. My classes are welcoming, supportive, and suitable for all levels, whether you’re new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice.
I believe yoga is for everybody and every body. My aim is to create a calm, positive space where you can build strength, increase flexibility, reduce stress, and reconnect with yourself at your own pace.
My yoga sessions combine gentle movement, breathing techniques, and relaxation to leave you feeling stronger, more balanced, and refreshed. Every class is designed to support both physical and mental wellbeing, helping you move with greater ease and confidence in everyday life.
I look forward to welcoming you to the mat. Namaste. 🙏
