7 week term is starting next week at the Bristol Yoga Centre. We have many different classes available from Prenatal and Postnatal Pilates to Restorative Yoga. In fact, new led Ashtanga class is starting from Thursday. Take a look at our latest timetable for more information.

Signing up for the term is cheapest and best way to attend classes as it will encourage you to go regularly. We also offer two class swaps within a term so if you need to miss one or two classes, you can arrange to go to another class. You can also join the term mid way too and pay pro rata.

There are an option to do drop ins or purchase a multi class card at the studio. Click here for more information on fees.

We accept MoveGB on most of our classes too!

New Ashtanga Class staring in June

I'm excited to announce that a new led Ashtanga class is starting from Thursday 8th June 2017 at 7:30 - 8:30am.  See our timetable for more information on our classes.

In this class, Christine will guide you through the beginnings of the Ashtanga Yoga Primary series, including the Surya Namaskars (sun salutations), the standing sequence, and some of the seated postures, finished with a period of rest.

Christine has been a devoted practitioner of the traditional Ashtanga Yoga method since 2003, and includes Rolf Naujokat and Melanie Cooper as her first teachers. After making regular trips to Mysore, India to practice at KPJAYI since 2012, she has been Authorised to teach by Sharath Jois - the current head of the Ashtanga Yoga lineage.

This class is suitable for beginners and is available on MoveGB too!

Classes for Beginners

All of our classes at Bristol Yoga Centre are suitable for complete beginners. 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!
