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.

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!
