Classes for Everyone
Our aim is to bring the mental and health benefits of Yoga, Pilates and Mindfulness Meditation to widest range of people.
We welcome all levels of fitness and abilities, as well as different body size and shape - You don’t necessarily have to be young, fit or flexible to join our classes!
In fact, many of our teachers and regular students are not your usual athletic types and we have broad range of abilities and age groups coming along.
The owner of Bristol Yoga Centre, Naomi says that she ‘believes it’s really important that the class is open to everyone and not just the selected few. Yoga is more about connection and a feeling of wholeness, than achieving certain poses - it should be inclusive and welcoming for everybody’.
Our classes are open to all levels of students including beginners. We recognise that everyone was once a beginner and if you enjoy the practice, you’ll naturally begin to feel the difference sooner. To help, we’ve ensured that our class sizes are smaller so that you can receive more personal attention.
If you have injuries, medical issues or disabilities, please get in touch with the teacher before the class. Our teachers are friendly and highly experienced and they should be able to give you further advice. We also have specialist classes such as therapeutic and gentle yoga as well as mindfulness meditation that you might want to try.
To make our classes more accessible, we offer concessions, community classes and have affordable payment options. If you’re struggling financially please get in touch and we will be able to offer further discounts or free classes.
From Our Home to Yours!
Our dedicated teachers are bringing inspirational classes from their home to yours! Bristol Yoga Centre teachers are highly experienced and can accommodate all levels of students including beginners. Plus, our classes are friendly and smaller so you’ll be in safe hands.
There are concessionary rate, reduced fee community classes and different payment options available. MoveGB are welcome too. We’re currently offering 20% discount on our live online classes until the end of the month.
If you’re unsure which class to try, feel free to get in touch!
Beginners Yoga and Pilates Class
All our classes at the Bristol Yoga Centre are suitable for beginners and our teachers are very experienced at accommodating all levels of students. Our classes are small so that teachers can give you more help and attention. You’re welcome to come and try any of the styles.
Some of our classes are generally more dynamic like Ashtanga Yoga and others like therapeutic yoga is gentler form of practice. Yoga and Hatha yoga tends to be some where in the middle but rest be assured that you’ll be given modifications and alternative postures for more challenging sequences or postures.
If you’re a complete new to yoga or pilates, you may want to let your teacher know so that they can give you helpful tips and advice. Feel free to contact them when you’re booking. You can also check our frequently asked question before coming along.
We look forward to seeing you in the class!

Our teachers are highly experienced and amongst the best trained in Bristol, they are very comfortable accommodating new students. If you’re not sure where to begin, we suggest reading our getting started guide and class guide for more information.
From the 11th of May, we have a new specialist class starting which is great for beginners.
Thursday 16:30 – 17:30pm Gentle Yoga with Pauline Hambelton-Hopf (from 11th May 2017)
Pauline is a fantastic teacher and has been teaching yoga for 15 years! She has taught many beginners during this time and will help you get started.
We also offer Restorative Yoga class on Wednesday at 19:30 – 20:45pm. This is another great class for beginners as the class is slower in pace and focuses on alignment and relaxation.
Most of our classes are available for drop in so you can try the class before committing to a term or buying a multi-card. See here for details on our class prices. Please try to come 10 mins before the class and let the teacher know you are new to Yoga or Pilates. Then they can ensure you get the appropriate instructions and enjoy your first class. If you have any health issues, it is helpful to discuss with the teacher in advance.
So why not come along ….. and feel good!
