About
Marianne Hewitt, Founder
LTA Padel Instructor
A Whitstable local by way of London, Marianne spent years in marketing before realising her heart belonged on the court and the coast. After coaching tennis for 7 years, she fell in love with the speed and social spirit of padel. Marianne coaches regularly at Smash Padel.
Marianne’s sessions are high-energy and inclusive, focusing on fundamental practice without ever losing sight of the "fun" factor. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, Marianne is here to help you reach your goals.
Dan Kilford, Yoga Instructor
Dan has a huge passion for sharing yoga with others and using this practice to connect back to the self amidst the chaos of modern life. He first found yoga as a way of improving strength and flexibility for his taekwondo training, and soon fell in love with the practice. The powerful effects that yoga can have on the mind and body is what lead him to deepen his practice and want to become a teacher. He completed his 200hr vinyasa yoga teacher training with Yogahaven, under the guidance of Allie Hill. His classes are balanced flows that are suited to everyone, they connect movement with the breath and aim to leave you feeling amazing and relaxed.
Dan runs retreats in the UK and abroad with his Mellow Studio.
