Luxury Japan Yoga, Hiking and Spa Retreat in April 2021

I’m very excited to announce a new 9 day yoga retreat next year in Japan from 19 - 27th April 2021.

We will be staying for a night in Tokyo before travelling together to a beautiful Kiso Valley, where we will stay for further 7 nights in a luxury 5 star traditional Ryokan (traditional Japanese Inn with a natural spring spa and amazingly presented seasonal food). This is an all inclusive retreat that includes healthy delicious meals, transfers to the retreat, a full body massage, guided tours and hiking, calligraphy, chopsticks and soba making workshops.

This retreat is organised by Bluerise retreat, a small lovely yoga retreat company that I have worked with for my previous retreats in Chamonix and Sri Lanka. They’re known for offering stunning retreats around the world with great yoga, scenery and delicious food.

New Women's Yoga on Monday Night

We are introducing a Women's Only Yoga class to create a space where women can flow in the presence of other women to increase their physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

The class will guide you on an inner journey to ignite your intuition and a deeper awareness of your body mind and soul. Incorporating aromatherapy and massage, this nurturing Vinyasa flow yoga class will encompass all the benefits that yoga can bring; clarity, emotional expression, calmer mind, better sleep, a stronger mind and body and overall compassion for yourself and others.

This weekly class will be open to all those who identify as women and is suitable for all levels from beginner to advanced. Starting 7:30 - 8:45pm on Monday 30th March 2020 with Amanda.

Amanda is a yoga teacher and a holistic healer, specialising in releasing stale, stuck or static emotions from the body using sound, breath and movement. She also teaches Vinyasa Flow Yoga on Wednesday evening at 7:30 - 8:30pm which is opened to everyone.

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!
