Best yoga centers in Birmingham: find options near you

First acquainted with I AM YOGI (IAY) at the outdoor yoga at the Botanical Gardens during the summer which, I enjoyed immensely.
While getting a bit reluctant to go back indoors, I am only too glad that I give it a go with IAY at their cabin in Mosley this morning. Very welcoming welcome, beautiful cabin with sensational views and surroundings. Our instructor was great, the session made me feel connected with the environment and, reenergised!
My photos don’t do the place and definitely not the experience justice. It’s really good that free first session is available.
Can’t wait to go back for my next session. Thanks IAY!

What a place!
I came for the first time with my little niece from Spain and I will definitely come back!
A yoga studio in Nature in a hidden park in Moseley! Absolutely love the class, the teacher Alice, receptionist Darren and all the vibes! Highly recommend it!
Thank you so much

This was such a beautiful practice. Tina has a beautiful energy and the cabin is a perfect place for some sunny winter morning yoga. Will definitely return. Thankyou

What an amazing experience to practice yoga in a studio surrounded by nature. The stuff is very welcoming and there is fresh tea available that you can drink while you wait for the class to start. The first class is free and they offer you a discount after you’ve tried it. You can use the discount for your first month membership. It’s also important to know that you don’t need to have the key to the park, you just need to ring the bell at the door and they’ll open it for you. I’m definitely joining!

I’ve been attending yoga classes at I AM YOGI for around three years now. After every session I leave feeling more stronger, peaceful and grounded. I would highly recommend the cabin, teachers and I AM YOGI community to anyone and everyone!

It was such a beautiful practice. Fantastic energy and the cabin is in the perfect location. I will definitely return soon. Thank you for the amazing welcome!

I loved my first yoga class this morning!
The cabin has such a friendly and calm vibe. You can even help yourself to a herbal tea on the way in! Harriet was a superb instructor too.
I’ll definitely be coming back !

Barefoot has changed my life for the better. Yoga relax and restore every week is helping me find balance to be a carer . Give me time to soul, body and mined, meet people that love yoga to. Feel better and fitter to look inside me and see how I am. All the yoga teachers will help and support you. Classes are the right environment to feel safe and it does not matter if ur a beginner or experienced it’s the nicest place to be and be barefoot and have a nice cup of herbal tea

The class was so welcoming and Dave was fantastic.

I loved the tokens to show whether you were ok with assistance and Dave was hands on but respectful. The guidance was great and I will definitely be back.

Doing yoga for almost a month and really enjoyed .it’s so therapeutic n relaxing. And yes the staff is so welcoming n encouraging.
Jon Claire n faye had alot to learn about yoga from u
And Claire u mesmerisewith your gentle yoga n take us to a next level of consciousness.

Fantastic studio with welcoming vibes and great teachers—John is my absolute favorite! While I wish they offered daytime hot yoga with Hannah, my other favorite, this place is a top pick for yoga lovers. Above all, the people who run it are simply lovely—thank you, Faye!

A great class! I’m a beginner and I found the class welcoming, with clear instruction and I was able to go at my own pace. Highly recommend!

The day I arrived in Edgbaston was the day I started this studio I’m so thankful for their first month welcome offer. This offer helped to explore all kinds of yoga and build confidence to get a stronger mind & body. I especially enjoy the hot and dynamic yoga sessions. Keep the good work and your beautiful Barefoot family

I have been a member of Barefoot for over 8 years. Lovely studio and staff. Great range of classes and great teachers. I have loved Tracy’s level 2/ 3 class on Wednesday, which has taken my practice to another level, so I’m sad to see this being replaced with another hot class. Barefoot has lots of long standing members so classes like Daves full Ashtanga series and Tracy’s level 2/3 are invaluable as they offer the opportunity to improve and develop. Please reconsider maintaining more of these classes.

Very poor customer/client experience with staff. Raised a complaint in May with inadequate responses from Jamie Chick. Escalated to management team and have had no response from them, despite me emailing almost weekly for an update. Their own policies state management aim to respond within a few working days. I’ve followed up with Jamie and Mark multiple times – I’ve either been ignored or told to wait. It’s been 3 months. I regret paying in full for the year or I would’ve stopped my direct debit.

2 stars given because the facilities are thankfully better than the service from management. It gets very very busy at peak times. The sauna and steam room are both too small for a gym this size and can close at almost no notice for a week. Community members get 3 hours parking, which is good, but zero charging points in a huge multi-storey is outdated. Swipe access is also outdated – members should be able to scan a card instead.

The facilities are good, that’s just a shame that staff especially if you want to cancel your membership behave unpleasant and rude. I wanted to cancel my membership two months ago and still they keep charging me and their reason are terms and conditions that doesn’t make sense and never explained on their induction session.

friendly staff, changing rooms are clean, swimming pool is huge. First time experiencing going to the gym as a woman and I’m not disappointed to find this gym.

I’m very disappointed with the customer service and the handling of membership suspensions and cancellations. I requested to freeze my membership on November 30th, before my next billing date, yet I was still charged for December. When I explained my situation and financial constraints, there was no flexibility or willingness to help, even though I couldn’t use the facilities for that month. Additionally, the requirement to give a full calendar month’s notice meant I had to pay for two extra months beyond what I planned.

While the facilities themselves are good, there are often issues with availability. The sauna is frequently overcrowded, and there’s limited access to equipment, forcing you to alter your workout routine. Given the price of the membership, the overall experience simply isn’t worth it.

This lack of understanding, rigid policies, and the overcrowding have left me frustrated and dissatisfied. I would not recommend this service to others based on my experience.

I’ve been a member of this gym since May having paid for a year’s membership upfront, which I now regret.  Unfortunately, my experience has been quite disappointing. The gym’s facilities are excellent, don’t get me wrong. However, it is consistently overcrowded from 4pm, which makes it very difficult to use the equipment without extended wait times. Additionally, finding an available locker is a challenge, as they are almost always fully occupied. I had high hopes when I joined, but the overcrowding and lack of access to facilities have made it difficult to fully use my membership and train effectively. I would recommend considering other options if you’re looking for a more accessible gym experience.

Great, modern facilities here with a nice Costa over looking the pool. Pool is great but changing rooms could a hit cleaner and the showers aren’t fantastic for a smaller person! Spin studio is fab and the instructors are first rate.

New, clean, well-equipped sports and fitness centre with gym, pool, sauna, fitness halls and squash courts. The facilities are great, although sometimes it helps to find a time when the students are busy as it can get pretty packed in the pool and sauna, and they are kind of in their own social world of sports club chat, which is slightly strange as a member of the public.
Fitness halls do all the Les Mills classes as well as yoga, weights conditioning and Pilates. The long opening hours are a big plus, too.
Dry changing rooms are good, wet changing rooms are fairly gross. Wet changing room also only has push button showers which go off in 5 seconds, so they obviously don’t want you to have a proper shower there.
Gym gets busy with people doing weights, so again I avoid peak times.

I love Hotpod yoga Birmingham so much!!!! I initially went as a trial and quickly signed up for the introductory offer to which I became hooked! It became my routine going twice a week and sometimes even three times! I do find myself going to the same sessions as I love the flow of the instructors (Kelly, Lib, Maria, Chanelle). How many months later and i have attended over 60 classes! All of the instructors are amazing, so reassuring, they allow you to go at your own pace, remind you to listen to your body but also encourage you too! The cleanliness of the studio is amazing too and the pod smells amazing which really helps you to relax into the session! 100% recommendations, I can’t wait for my return! It is my favourite place to relax and have a good stretch out

I’ve really been enjoying the Hotpod yoga here. The atmosphere is always calm and welcoming, which makes it a great place to unwind. All the instructors are incredibly kind, supportive, and attentive. I feel welcomed every time I participate, and I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a positive and peaceful yoga experience!

Hotpod Yoga Birmingham is absolutely amazing! The pod itself is such a calming, immersive space and the heat really helps you relax and go deeper into each flow. The teachers make it extra special—Maria, Esther, Liberty, Kelly, Beth, Jake, and Ellie are all fantastic. I love that there are different types of classes to suit how you’re feeling—Hotpod Flow, Dynamic Flow, Nurturing Flow, and Foundation Flow, so there’s always the right option whether you want to push yourself or just unwind. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Hotpod Yoga has truly changed my life! Liberty and Kelly have become family, and after a year of coming here, I can honestly say it’s been incredible. Each instructor brings something unique and special to their classes, and I would recommend every single one of them. If you’re looking to take your yoga practice to the next level, this is the place to be. HotpodYoga Birmingham will always have a special place in my heart.

I’ve been coming to hotpod yoga now for over a year and as a dancer studying I couldn’t recommend it enough. It has helped me improve my flexibility and mobility whilst also incorporating strengthening exercises which has enabled me to progress even further with my training as a performer. Even as a none dancer hot pod yoga is an amazing form of exercise which can improve both your physical and mental wellbeing. The team at Birmingham are all so welcoming and friendly which makes coming to classes so much more enjoyable and fun they are all so supportive and encouraging which will allow you to progress in yoga the best way possible with such a positive atmosphere.

Went to my first Hotpod Yoga session last night and as a regular gym goer I wasn’t too sure what to expect but I absolutely loved it!!!

Kelly was a brilliant lead, calming and encouraging. She’s incredibly knowledgable on all the poses – but also the varying comfort levels that we all have based on our own personal experience of yoga. I’ve only recently got back into yoga so I was a little nervous on what the intensity would be, but I felt so comfortable and I think I actually surprised myself.

I can absolutely see myself coming here regularly!

Lib, Kelly and the team have created a calming and welcoming space, where you always know you’ll be greeted with a genuine smile and can leave your stresses and worries at the door and just focus on you for a while. All of the instructors are kind, knowledgeable and supportive, reminding you to listen to your body and go at your own pace but also encouraging you to try new things and embrace the wobbles, so there’s no need to feel nervous or self conscious. I’ve been coming to classes here for 9 months now and can’t recommend Hotpod Yoga Birmingham enough. ‘Give it a go, you never know’ <3

Abi is an earth angel! Her classes are just amazing. Abi is so kind and welcoming she’s very knowledgeable about women’s bodies (pregnancy, birth and postpartum) and tailors the class to meet your individual needs. I have attended pregnancy yoga, 1:1 yoga and now mum and baby yoga. I love the combination of wellbeing check ins, essentials oils, calming music, stretches, mindfulness and poetry. Abi is so generous with her time and is always willing to help. I really look forward to Abi’s classes and always come away feeling relaxed and refreshed. Thank you ❤️

I have been having private yoga sessions with Abi for a couple of months. Abi is an experienced yoga teacher who is nice, patient and encouraging. Abi spends time listening to my needs and goals and tailors each session. All sessions are at the appropriate level of difficulty and challenging from time to time which is exactly what I need. After a few months of practice, I am really seeing myself moving towards a more advanced level. I have enjoyed my yoga journey with Abi a lot.
Practising yoga has helped me release stress and improve sleep quality. I highly recommend Abi’s private sessions, especially if you want to achieve certain goals in your practice or have specific needs.

I’ve recently had around 10 private lessons with Abi and attended a few of her group classes in the past. It’s always a great experience learning Yoga with Abi. She is very caring & encouraging and I always feel comfortable trying something new and outside of my comfort zone.

As a Hindu girl, It’s great to see Abi talk through the Sanskrit postures as well as the western labels. She shows passion for the history & philosophy of yoga.

I’d definitely recommend joining one of her classes if you’re thinking about getting into Yoga. You’ll definitely have a wholesome experience.

Starting out as a complete beginner, I’ve been regularly attending classes at Abi’s lovely Harborne studio for almost 6 years now, and having reached my early sixties, I feel the benefits of regular practice more than ever (so it’s never too late to start)!. My flexibility, strength, and overall wellbeing have improved enormously, and yoga has become such an important part of my life.
Abi’s teaching is excellent – clear, encouraging, and always offering options so that everyone, whatever their ability, can feel supported and challenged in the right way. The studio itself has such a welcoming and positive atmosphere.
It’s always a joy to come to Abi’s classes knowing everyone will be made to feel welcome regardless of experience or ability.
Monthly Yoga Nidra sessions led by either Abi or Jen, are simply amazing too. They provide the deepest sense of rest and renewal (invariably followed by a great night’s sleep) and complement my regular weekly classes perfectly.
I feel so fortunate to be part of this community and I’m very grateful for the positive impact yoga with Abi has on my wellbeing- I really can’t recommend Abi or yoga highly enough.

So much more than yoga.

I attended Abi’s pregnancy and mum and baby yoga classes and genuinely believe that her classes made my pregnancy and recovery more peaceful, restorative and fun.

Although Abi will tell me I’m not, I’m pretty hopeless at yoga, but that didn’t, and doesn’t matter. I still gained so much from the classes, from breathing techniques (which I used during my c-section) to making new friends. Abi has a wonderful way of making you feel cared for, warm, and calm. She was a very special part of my journey to motherhood.

If you’re considering joining a class, then do, you won’t regret it.

I went to Abi for a session of 5 private 1:1 pregnancy yoga’s spanning across 5 months. This was initially to be able to complement the non pregnancy yoga classes that I was still attending to be able to give me the knowledge and skills to safely practice still. Abi was great at this and quickly made me feel confident with the modifications she gave me. I’m so glad I booked a block of 5 sessions as I knew they’d help me but I didn’t anticipate just how needed they were. As a midwife, group pregnancy yoga classes weren’t exactly what I needed, but the 1:1 classes always left me feeling so much calmer, no matter what was going on before the session. Abi always checked in before a session, but also has a magic way of knowing exactly what I needed on the day, often adding in things I hadn’t asked for but really needed. Abi’s session been one of the very few things to really calm my nervous system down and I’m so grateful for that. I thoroughly recommend her classes to anyone

I have really enjoyed pregnancy and postnatal yoga classes with Abi. They have been so relaxing and have got me moving and helped with the pregnancy aches. The yoga studio is so beautiful and Abi is a wonderful teacher who tailors the yoga session for would-be/new mums and very attentive to each participant. The evening pregnancy yoga sessions were an absolute highlight of the week, and I always felt more relaxed and brighter after it.

Yoga Borne is such a beautiful, welcome space for all abilities. The variety and timings of classes means I can book in whenever I can and don’t have to stick to regular days every week – that’s what makes the membership such good value for me. All of the teachers are brilliant, unique in their own style and every class offers something different; from deep relaxation to active classes, there really is something for all.

Love this yoga studio! Everyone is so nice and welcoming, and the vibes are cosy with small class sizes There’s a lots of variety too, from beginner to advanced yoga as well as pilates. And I like how most classes are also done online too, so even when I’m away I can still practice! The teachers are all so supportive too, encouraging you to challenge yourself but also to do what feels right for you. I’m glad I signed up and have been going for a few months now, almost every day

Took part in the monday yoga in the park and had a great time. The instructor was friendly and welcoming and reminded us to work at a comfortable pace. Thank you!

Amazing variety of classes with plenty of accessible options for beginners.

As well as in person, you can access all classes via Zoom. This is an especially good option for experienced yogis or those who live further away from the studio like me.

Great value especially given the care and attention that clearly goes into the studio.

Trying out this studio with their 20 day pass, it’s great to go to they different classes with the different instructors to see which suits you best 🙂

I especially enjoyed my first session with Claire. The helpful tips and adjustments during the poses really enhanced my experience!

Gorgeously clean and calming yoga space. I am a complete newbie at yoga and I have fallen in love with out, everyone is very welcoming and non-judgmental. There is a real sense of community and going to yogaBorne has helped me meet people and explore the local area so thank you!

A gorgeous cosy gem in Stirchley! There’s a great variety of classes and workshops. It’s clean, tidy and so welcoming. Everyone is really friendly at this Yoga studio and you can always manage to strike up a conversation with someone before or after class and feel part of the community. I’ve been part of the Yoga Borne Community since it opened in 2019 and through its recent change in ownership. Karine & Jay are fabulous human beings! They aim to create an authentic space to share the true teachings of Yoga, are really supportive of other small businesses and even run craft markets to help others sell their handmade products. I highly recommend trying out a few classes and following their social media for updates on markets and local events! xx

I absolutely love this gym. I was grateful to have a discounted membership due to the work I do and think for the price I pay its excellent value for money. I love the city centre location,the pool facilities with steam room and sauna and all the extra facilities like the climbing wall that many other gyms don’t have. The Zumba instructor is second to none and I love the sunshine she brings to every session making you feel confident and making it fun for everyone.

I have recently started going to this gym, and I have been so pleased with how friendly the staff are, alongside the numerous facilities on offer. In particular, I really wanted to thank Rafia for her exceptional support in her classes, she has been so helpful and excellent in making me motivated to continue my fitness journey! I really recommend this gym and for anyone to sign up to Rafia’s sessions, you’ll really benefit!

Was looking in to joining this gym and becoming a member, called up and spoke to someone called Giselle over the phone who was a little rude and not very helpful. I asked if there was a day pass available as it does state online that they are available yet she said they are not and that it is a members only club so they wouldn’t be such a thing? So you want me to sign up to not even trial out the gym? No extra information was given and she was very hostile. Honestly really disappointed, better off sticking with David Lloyd as at least the customer service is better and the staff are much kinder!

I attended the joint pain program with Cat. She taught us lots of different exercises, how to use the equipments and we also had group sessions. I learned lots of new things and gained confidence in using the gym. I would highly recommend the program it was so beneficial to me

Rafia is an excellent trainer. She has helped me reach my fitness goals over the past few months. She has put a plan together that matches my lifestyle. Honestly I wouldn’t be in the best shape of my life without her. Would definitely recommend you choose her as your trainer.

Probably the best gym I’ve been to. I struggled to find the right one but I feel so comfortable here. Staff are all so friendly too. Nadir sorted out my membership and he explained everything and was so helpful. Would defo recommend!!

Ive recently joined Nuffield due to my Health not being 100%. I was struggling to walk and my mind was not in the right place. When i joined i came across an amazing Health and Fitness Trainer Rafia. She has helped me throughout my journey and supported me physically and mentally. I really appreciate what she is doing for me because i have become stronger and she is motivating me every time to become a better version of myself. Highly recommend to join Nuffield (Broadway Plaza) and get in touch with Rafia Health and Fitness Trainer.

I attended the mom and baby yoga sessions in Stirchley with Kate. They were wonderful and by far my favourite baby group that I have ever attended. Kate was such a kind and caring instructor, always checking in with us, taking time to learn about us and even providing little treats. She took the most beautiful, candid photos of me and my little boy, which as a mom, you don’t get many of!
I can honestly say that every week, l I left, I feeling much more relaxed, cared for and energised than I did when I got there. This is a part of maternity leave that I am really going to miss. Highly recommend!

Kate is a wonderful yoga teacher, always happy to answer any questions and provide useful resources. I’ve been attending her pregnancy yoga group for a while and I couldn’t recommend it more! The group has provided me with a lovely community of pregnant women who share their experiences which has been so valuable to me! Kate also does a mommy and baby group which I will certainly be attending after the birth of my little girl!

I did Pregnancy and Mum&baby classes – both were so lovely. Kate creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere in all the classes, really supportive and nurturing. The yoga, stretches, relaxation (and tea & biscuits!) helped keep me sane throughout my pregnancy and the sleep-deprived newborn months! I would definitely recommend her classes 🙂

Absolutely loved pregnancy yoga and mom and baby yoga with Kate! It’s such a warm, welcoming environment. It’s lovely to connect, stretch and have space to relax and chat over tea and snacks afterwards. Kate is amazingly kind and genuinely cares for the mothers and also makes some scrumptious cakes! Kate is passionate about what she does and you can feel it. Thank you for a wonderful calming experience amongst the chaos after delivery. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

Absolutely wonderful yoga classes. Both pregnancy and the bring your baby sessions. Kate puts so much into making the sessions really restorative and creating a beautiful community

Kate is lovely. She has the incredible skill to create safe spaces for women. I started with her pregnancy yoga classes (I tried several and hers was my favourite) and then continued with Baby + Mom Yoga after my little one arrived. It is one of the highlights of my week.

The mother and baby yoga is a lovely class, very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere and always a friendly group of people, I’ve been on both of my maternity leaves and both times it’s been lovely and a group aimed more at mum than baby so even more enjoyable when baby is small. Kate is a lovely person, very kind and caring she looks after everyone very well and makes a great cuppa at the end with the best biscuits!

I had the privilege of attending Raman’s Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior class today. Visiting from out of town, I liked the sound of the studio and the class and gave it a go. Raman was exceptional. She brought a wonderful positive energy to the experience which was fulfilling and satisfying. I feel I came away a little bit a better person. Highly recommend you visit this beautiful studio.

I went to the evening beginners class tonight with Ramen, I had always wanted to try yoga but was so worried and it was out of my comfort zone, but the moment I went in I felt so welcome! The lovely receptionist showed me around, and Ramen spoke to me about what to expect too. The room was very calming and relaxing and the atmosphere was pure. Everyone there too was very polite and friendly ! Although it made me realise how stiff and wobbly I am , I really enjoyed and and will be returning! ‍♀️

I’ve tried several hot yoga studios in Birmingham, and Sweat Yoga stands out as the best by far. The studio is spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained, with separate changing rooms and showers for both men and women—something that many other studios lack.

The instructors are fantastic, and the classes, which reach a powerful 40 degrees, really do the job. The staff are always helpful and welcoming. They mentioned that they’ll bring back the lunchtime classes if enough people ask for them, so I’m hoping to see those return in the fall.

I recently had the pleasure of attending classes at Yoga Sweat, and I must say, it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt welcomed and at ease as an absolute beginner.

The studio itself is beautifully designed, with a calming atmosphere that immediately puts you in the right mindset for your practice. The yoga instructors are all highly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, and it really shows in the quality of their classes. They are able to create a warm and supportive environment that allows you to fully relax and focus on your practice.

One thing I particularly loved about this studio is the variety of classes they offer. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi, there’s something for everyone here. I particularly enjoyed the gentle yoga classes, which were perfect for me as someone who is still fairly new to yoga.

Overall, I can’t recommend Yoga Sweat enough. Whether you’re looking to improve your physical health, reduce stress, or just enjoy some much-needed relaxation, this studio has everything you need. If you’re in the area, I highly encourage you to check it out!

I had the pleasure of discovering Yoga Sweat 2 months ago and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share my experience.

The attention to detail in creating a peaceful environment truly enhances the overall experience. The space is impeccably clean.

The instructors are nothing short of phenomenal. They are warm and possess a genuine passion for yoga. They mainly do hot yoga classes but there is a variety of classes offered and each yoga instructor has their own unique way of delivery. Whether you’re seeking a vigorous Vinyasa flow to invigorate your body or a restorative class to soothe your soul. The classes are thoughtfully curated to cater to practitioners of all levels, from beginners to seasoned yogis. The instructors guide you through each pose with clarity and encourage you to listen to your body, fostering a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere.

The sense of community at Yoga Sweat is palpable. I felt welcomed from day one, and the friendly staff and fellow practitioners create a warm and inclusive environment.

Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a newcomer to the practice, I recommend Yoga Sweat for its exceptional instructors, welcoming community, and the rejuvenating experience it offers.

The first Iyengar yoga class we’ve been to outside of India that is extremely well taught. Will definitely return. Huge thanks to Lauren for being so accommodating and running an amazing class

Lovely clean modern space, very friendly atmosphere. Beginners are definitely welcome but there are always options to challenge yourself further in the class. Classes are diverse with all types of people so you will definitely feel welcome and comfortable!

Claire’s Sound Sleep session was a wonderfully magical experience. For someone who really struggles to stop, I was amazed at how quickly the gentle music and Claire’s calming tones enabled me to really relax and switch off. I left the studio feeling truly rested, calm and more able to focus. I am very much looking forward to the next session.

I Love Claire’s practices, I am a yoga teacher myself and love coming to Claire’s mini yoga retreats, yin and slow flows. If you’re looking for some peace and a gentle way to honour how your body and mind are feeling that day, then Claire’s yoga practices are the place to be.

plus I love the poems and music for the wisdom and calming vibs. <3

Yoga classes with Claire are brilliantly structured, starting with an immediately relaxing introduction which puts you at ease, a considered build up of postures which progressively push your balance and stamina, and a relaxing wind-down – which encourages you to reflect upon your practice and feel good about your accomplishments that day, regardless of skill. Claire considers multiple posture options – which caters for beginners like me, as well as experienced Yogis. Each class is filled with careful explanations and reasons for each posture, coupled with insight into the history and benefits of Yoga practice as a whole. There is a strong focus on the breath throughout the practice, which both helps improve focus and stamina, but also relaxation. I always leave classes with Claire feeling relaxed and refreshed – brilliant classes!

Claire is a lovely yoga teacher! She is passionate about ensuring her classes are well thought out and considers every part of the body, mind and soul. I have been to various studios and retreats that Claire has run and always leave the class feeling good physically and emotionally. Claire is very non judgemental and gives plenty of options to ensure everyone can join in at whatever level feels right for them. I would definitely recommend that you give one of her classes a try!

Claire’s Monday yoga class is a highlight of my week. I look forward to it all weekend and I really am sad if I miss it, which I rarely do! It’s a great thing to do at the start of the week; I come away feeeling calm, super bendy and like I can handle anything work and life throws my way. The movement, strengthening and stretching is great for my physical fitness, but the mindfulness yoga brings is so important too. Claire is so wise, she delights us with insight into the world around us, the seasons, the workings of the universe and what she shares is always so useful and thought provoking.I always leave feeling like I’ve learned some new magic! She is truly spellbinding. The welcoming inclusivity of the class is wonderful too; no matter your level, Claire’s yoga is right for everyone, the focus being on you, and listening to what your body needs. Thank you so much Claire, I couldn’t recommend your classes highly enough!

Claire’s slow-flow yoga classes at Cambridge Road Methodist Church are wonderful. The space is plentiful, the floor is warm and the music is relaxing. Claire gently leads the class to flow from one position to the next, outlining variations and offering invitations to bespoke your practice along the way. Through a mixture of poetry, prose and silence, Claire encourages mindfulness while holding positions. I always feel calmer, more balanced and peaceful at the end of a session.

I love Claire’s insightful yoga classes. They are a nourishing blend of beautifully considered poses and inspiring, thoughtful mantras delivered in a warm, calming space. Claire’s classes are embellished with seasonal quotes and poems which compliment the gentle flow. I would highly recommend.
