Community Class at BYC

At Bristol Yoga Centre, we believe that classes should be accessible to everyone, so we are offering low priced Community Classes.

• Wednesday 10:00 -11:00am - Mindfulness Meditation & Yoga with Naomi

• Thursday 19:30 - 20:45pm - Yoga with Kirsty (pictured)

We also have outdoor yoga with Naomi in Horfield which is a cheaper price option. Our classes are suitable for all levels of students including beginners.

Everyone’s very welcome to come along but please book in advance as we have limited spaces available in the studio. Signing up to the term is the cheapest option to attend our classes. We also offer class pack and option to attend online. Our online classes are available on MoveGB.

No one will be turned away due to lack of funds so if you cannot afford these prices, please get in touch with us. We look forward to seeing you in class!

Mindfulness Meditation in Challenging Times

We’ve just uploaded a new blog post on the importance of mindfulness meditation in challenging times. There are lots of other interesting articles related to Yoga Asanas, Pranayama and Meditation so please feel free to check it out.

We will be posting different meditation techniques and tips of practice to help you get started. We currently also offer live online donation based mindfulness meditation and yoga class on Wednesday morning from 10-11am every week.  This is a small friendly group class focusing on simple movements, breathing practice and meditation techniques to connect and be present with ourselves. We will also explore relaxation methods to help you feel more settled and relaxed.

Suggested donation is £6 but you can pay whatever you can afford. The proceeds for this class will be going to Bristol Mind, mental health charity in Bristol. All levels of students welcome!

Celia is now on a maternity leave but our prenatal Yoga and Pilates class will resume again from next term, Monday 25th February 5:00 -6:00 pm with Leonora. She has covered for Celia many times and is very familiar with the class.

Leonora has been teaching yoga for 20 years and she has taught in many different contexts including: group classes, corporate Yoga, festivals, retreats, workshops, one to one, as well as mentoring and teaching on 200 hour recognised teacher training courses.

Her teaching style is deeply influenced by mindful movement practices and has a strong focus on embodied awareness and personal inquiry. This class will focus on building strength and control in the pelvic floor muscles to prevent incontinence and prepare for birth. It will also include breathing techniques to reduce stress and promote relaxation. If your looking for a small friendly pregnancy class with expert guidance, this will be perfect for you!
