Summer Timetable at Bristol Yoga Centre

Now that summer is in full swing, we have now updated our website with information about our Yoga and Pilates classes.

We tried our best to keep most classes going but some will be closed for summer so please take the time to check our timetable carefully. Our teacher's need a bit of a break too!

Sorry, most of our classes will be closed for Bank Holiday Monday 27th August 2018.

Our monthly Scaravelli Yoga session will be taking August off but will be back from 16th September on a monthly basis.

Weekly Prenatal Yoga and Pilates Class

We are starting a weekly prenatal Yoga and Pilates class on Mondays at 5-6pm at the Bristol Yoga Centre. This is a unique pregnancy class in which the positive benefits of both yoga and Pilates are combined to promote health and wellbeing.

Celia is a chartered physiotherapist with over 11 years experience and a special interest in women's health.  She undertook postgraduate Pilates training through the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute, and then further training, with the same organisation, in pre and post natal Pilates. Celia is also a yoga teacher and undertook pregnancy yoga teacher training at The Yoga Campus in London.

Pilates targets the exact muscles and functions that can become problematic during
pregnancy and in the postnatal period, in a safe way. Yoga techniques, including breath and movement, aid relaxation and help maintain a healthy mind during this time of change.

New Wednesday Evening Vinyasa Flow Yoga

Now that it's lighter and warmer for longer, we are introducing a new Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Tash from Wednesday 30th May 2018 at 7:30 -8:45pm.

Tash Neely's Vinyasa Flow Yoga classes unite breath and movement to generate powerful changes that go beyond the mat. A blend of mindfulness, breathing and asana each class is designed to build strength in both body and mind and promote inner peace. 

Her class was recently featured as one of 5 top yoga sessions in Bristol by GoSweat.

New Monday Evening Yin Yoga class

We have a new Monday evening Yin yoga class starting next Monday from 21st May 2018. This class is suitable for all levels of experience. Come and restore your body's energetic balance and find a greater sense of calm through Yin Yoga.

Yin Yoga classes are designed with specialised poses that are held for longer periods of time,  working your ligaments, joints, bones and deep networks of fascia within the body. Through a Yin practice we aim to balance the active, external and dynamic Yang activities of daily life with a more internal, grounding and calming practice, surrendering to stillness. Yin Yoga helps to improve flexibility, circulation and joint mobility as well as reducing stress and anxiety. 

Every Monday from 7:30 - 8:30pm. We accept MoveGB students! Contact Katie for more information.
