Vision Yoga with Naomi

I’m really excited to announce that I’ve just launched my new website…

You may well ask…what is Vision Yoga? 

Over the last 5 years, I have been working with some amazing natural vision teachers to improve my eyesight. It has been an incredible journey! 

I felt that the practice of natural vision aligned beautifully with my style of teaching yoga, so I was inspired to develop Vision Yoga. It is a method of teaching which focuses on helping the mind, the eyes and body work together naturally. This will not only help improve vision, it will promote positive transformation. 

Head over to Vision Yoga to find out more.

I will still be running all of my group classes at Bristol Yoga centre and offering specialist one to one classes. 

I’ll be starting a weekly Friday lunchtime Vision Yoga class and Intro to Vision Yoga: Clarity for the Eyes and Mind at the beginning of this year.

Please sign up to my newsletter to get all the latest information. Or follow along on instagram and facebook.

I look forward to seeing you in class,

Naomi Hayama.

Vision can be improved;

the secret is relaxation of the mind and eyes.

Outdoor Yoga in the Summer

Fancy doing yoga outside? It’s a fantastic thing to do, especially if you’ve been cooped up all day.

We have Outdoor yoga with Naomi every Thursday from 6:30-7:30pm during the summer time. This is a weekly community yoga class in Horfield at the Civil Service Sports Club on Filton Avenue. Please note that this class is only available during Spring/Summer and the last class for this year is Thursday 26th September 2024.

There’s a lovely enclosed old boules court that we practice in when the weather is good and a spacious cabin right next to it when it’s bad, so we can run inside if we need. Bring warm clothes or a blanket if you get cold easily!

Please book in advance through website. In-person booking only.

We’re pleased to announce a new donation based Mindfulness Meditation and Yoga class with Naomi. This is a weekly class on Wednesday from 10-11am and suitable for all levels of students, including beginners.
