 Where do I start? 

Learning something new can be daunting especially if it is physical. If you’re unsure whether yoga can help you, call our reception team and have a chat. We’re a friendly bunch and all have experience of yoga that will help point you in the right direction. We’ve tailored a number of options for those looking to try yoga for the first time.

In Person classes are back.  We have beginner yoga Monday 18:30 – 19:30 pm and Thursday 17:15 – 18:15 pm.  These are drop in classes but must be booked in advance.  One of our most experienced teachers Maureen Smith will conduct these classes.  Additional classes and courses will be scheduled in due course.
