Yoga Workshops

As well as our regular Yoga Classes, we also run Yoga Workshops. These Workshops will look at bringing harmony between the mind and body, exploring movement, breathwork, meditation and the opportunity to rest and chat over a cup of tea and cake. Workshops are longer in duration, so you're able to delve a little deeper into the poses and take more time to enjoy Savasana (relaxation). 

These classes are mixed level, which means lots of options will be given throughout the class for beginngers, intermediate and advanced yogis. As long as you choose the right option that suits your physical body and energy levels, then you will love these sessions!

These Workshops focus on:

  • Movement
  • Strength
  • Agility
  • Meditation
  • Breath Control
