New Ashtanga Class

Kate Lemon is taking over Christine’s Ashtanga yoga class on Thursday 6-7pm from 4th January 2024. She also teaches our weekly community flow yoga on Saturday 9:30-10:30am and runs Yoga Basics course regularly (next one scheduled on 6th and 20th January). Kate’s passionate about teaching the benefits of yoga to everyone.

We also have a morning Ashtanga class with Aimee every Tuesday from 7:30-8:30am.

Ashtanga Yoga is a vigorous form of Hatha Yoga that follows a set sequence of postures (asanas), joined together through the synchronisation of movement and breath (vinyasa). It is often referred to as a moving meditation, helping students to become stronger and more flexible, while simultaneously calming the mind.

New Ashtanga Yoga class with Aimee

We’re please to welcome Aimee to our studio. Her Ashtanga yoga class is on Tuesday morning from 7:30 - 8:30am and you can join online or in person from 19th September

Aimee’s teaching is rooted in the Ashtanga Vinyasa primary series, which is an energetic set sequence of synchronised movement and breath designed to cleanse the body and focus the mind. She love adapting classes to make them accessible for beginners and exploring asana modifications for individuals, as she believe Ashtanga yoga can be for everyone. 

Great way to start the day so come and join us :)

Ashtanga Yoga on Thursday

David Lees will be taking over Christine’s Ashtanga Yoga class for next term. She will hopefully be back from the next year.

Ashtanga yoga is a wonderfully vigorous practice that helps to calm and energise the mind and body. Great for those that are looking for a strong and fast paced class. David is an excellent friendly teacher that can accommodate all levels of students including beginners. Modifications will be given for challenging postures and movements.

The class is from 6-7pm every Thursday evening. Please try and book in advance.

Early Morning Yoga Class

Looking for early morning yoga class? Now that Spring has arrived, we have organised three energising yoga classes:

Monday 7:45 - 8:45am - Yoga and Pilates with Claire Robertson

Thursday 7:30 - 8:45am - Ashtanga Yoga with David Lee

It’s a wonderful way to start the day. Great for health, focus, and setting yourself up for the day ahead!

Plus, Ashtanga Yoga classes are currently available for free trial for new students for their first class and all of our morning classes are available on MoveGB.

Please book in advance through our new booking system. We have different ways of paying including term payment, 5 multiple class pass and drop in.

New Ashtanga and Yin Yoga from March 2020

We’re really pleased to welcome David Lees to Bristol Yoga Centre from March 2020. David will be teaching two morning led Ashtanga Yoga classes on Tuesday and Thursday from 7:15 - 8:30am and Yin Yoga class on Friday evening from 5:30 - 6:30pm.

Ashtanga is a wonderful way to start the day. Waking up the body through sun salutations, we move through standing postures to rouse and energise the body and breath; seated postures which work ever-deeper into the body to awaken the spine; before a finishing sequence to calm and restore the body and mind. Great for health, focus, and setting yourself up for the day!

Yin Yoga is a practice of allowing or yielding. We move gently and mindfully into postures where we stay for quite some time (usually 3-5 minutes), using props to support our bodies so that we can stimulate our tissues (such as myofascia, bones, and tendons), release and free the body, and become more aware and accepting of our self.

He’s Ashtanga Yoga classes are available for free trial for new students for the first class and all of his classes are available on MoveGB. More information about David to follow very soon!

New Ashtanga Class staring in June

I'm excited to announce that a new led Ashtanga class is starting from Thursday 8th June 2017 at 7:30 - 8:30am.  See our timetable for more information on our classes.

In this class, Christine will guide you through the beginnings of the Ashtanga Yoga Primary series, including the Surya Namaskars (sun salutations), the standing sequence, and some of the seated postures, finished with a period of rest.

Christine has been a devoted practitioner of the traditional Ashtanga Yoga method since 2003, and includes Rolf Naujokat and Melanie Cooper as her first teachers. After making regular trips to Mysore, India to practice at KPJAYI since 2012, she has been Authorised to teach by Sharath Jois - the current head of the Ashtanga Yoga lineage.

This class is suitable for beginners and is available on MoveGB too!
