New Classes - Hatha Yoga and Yin Yoga with Yoga Nidra

We’re pleased to announce two new weekly yoga classes:

Wednesday 6:00 - 7:00pm - Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra with Nicola

This class offers supported Yin Yoga poses that are held for several minutes at a time, inviting a deeper release of the body. We end with a Yoga Nidra - a spoken word relaxation that travels through body scanning, breath work and visualisation to help reset the nervous system and brain.

Sunday 5:30 - 6:30pm - Hatha Yoga with Cecilia

This class will give you a grounded sensation and prepare you for the upcoming week. This class will often use props such as yoga blocks and belts pay attention to encourage detail alignment and actions.

Both classes are available in person and online as well as on MoveGB. All our classes are open to all ages and abilities so that everyone can receive the amazing benefits of yoga! Please book in advance.

New Yin and Yoga Nidra class

Tash is now back to teach weekly Wednesday night Yin and Yoga Nidra class from 7:30 - 8:30pm.

This class is a chance to find complete stillness within. Drawing on the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we will work with the meridians of the body to create energy shifts.

It will end with Yoga Nidra, a deep, harmonious relaxation that reawakens our most compassionate self to leave us feeling reconnected to ourselves and the world around us. Each week will be guided by the seasons, weather and cyclical nature of the natural world to facilitate deeper healing.

All levels of experience welcome. Tash is also teaching Art of Breathing workshop on 16th July 2022 from 11am-1pm. Available in person and online. Please book in advance!

New Classes From September

Our timetable is changing slightly from Autumn term (from 6th September). We have a new Slow Flow & Yin Yoga with lzzy on Wednesday at 7:30 - 8:30 pm (starting 15th September) and Travis is taking over Hatha Yoga on Tuesday at 6 - 7pm. Now that lzzy is back, Sunday night class will be taught by her from this week and our prenatal Pilates/Yoga class with Claire is now from 4-5pm on Monday.

You can now come along as a drop when there are spaces available but it's best to book in advance to secure your space: https://bristolyogacentre.co.uk/booking

You can either sign up for the term, purchase 5 class pass or come along for a single class. We’re also going to continue online classes. We hope to see you in class!

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!

Wednesday Afternoon Yin Yoga

We have a weekly Wednesday afternoon Yin Yoga with Emilia at the Bristol Yoga Centre. Mindful Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures held for longer periods of time between 3 to 5 minutes. The passive nature of long held postures gives time for a deeper journey to unfold into the meditative aspects of yoga.

Emilia also teaches monthly Mindful Yin yoga workshops on Saturdays which is always very popular. One of the regulars said:

‘I came out of the Saturday workshop as if I'd been on retreat for a weekend! I walked up the road afterwards and just sat for half an hour in blissful calm.’ 

Come and try her weekly yin class, it’s a great way to unwind after work. This class is available for drop in, MoveGB, 5 class pass and term bookings.

New Sunday Evening Yin Yoga class

We are starting a new Sunday evening Yin yoga class from 17th March from 6:30 - 7:30pm with Tash.

Yin is the passive, cooler, reflective and relaxed. The yin way is a gentle and surprisingly powerful method to invoke change in both body and mind. This class offers a unique way of practicing that seeks to embrace stillness and relaxation. Rather than moving dynamically, postures are mostly rooted in the ground, removing all physical effort for the student. The removal of effort allows us to unpin our connective tissue (fascia) that holds our body in place and defines our physical shape. 

It’s accessible to all ages, body types and levels of experience. Tash also teaches more dynamic Yin and Yang class on Sunday from 5:00 - 6:15pm every week.
