 Weekly Yoga Classes

 From less than £2 per class if you come several times a week

We run a schedule of weekly open classes in a range of styles (see timetable below) and increasingly popular private classes and individual sessions.

Please see terms and conditions 

We enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with small classes - you will never find more than 12 in a class - so lots of individual attention if you want it.
  

The styles we currently offer are Hatha, Vinyasa, Yoga for pregnancy and Yin.  You will find a brief explanation of the  styles below and even better, why not try both and see which  you like best. 

Hatha is a traditional style of Yoga which is a good mixture of standing,  balancing, mat postures, flows,  breathing, meditation and relaxation.  The underlying aim of Hatha Yoga is to balance Body, Mind and Emotions.   It is a great way to develop flexibility, suppleness and strength and improve the efficiency of your breathing.  Regular practice helps you develop a calmer outlook on life.  Classes vary from week to week.

 

Yin  is a great complementary style for those already practising yoga - it allows the soft tissure in and around the muscles and in joints including the spine to gently stretch for longer to aid comfort and flexibility .  It is also a very calming and relaxing style.  There are variations in pose to suit all anatomies - yin is evolving so no longer just a complementary style it is becoming a style in its own right.

 

 

Pre-natal Yoga  Yoga can help women get through their pregnancy with minimal discomfort. It also helps the birth and post-delivery stages. Yoga classes help to boost circulation and also help with fluid retention. The stretching exercises relieve aches and pains. Posture is also improved by yoga and this can help ease back problems, which are common in pregnant women. Yoga helps to prepare for the birth - it encourages breath and body awareness, reduces worry and teaches women to adapt to new situations. And yoga continues to have benefits after pregnancy, too. Postnatal yoga, which can be started about six weeks after the birth, strengthens abdominal muscles and your pelvic floor. It also helps you to get back to your pre-pregnancy shape faster.

 We currently have vacancies on all of our classes - please telephone 0161 764 1440 or
email yoga@mindandbodybury.co.uk to book

Equipment - no need to bring your own mats or blankets we have a supply in the studio, although you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.  If you are coming regularly you may choose to build up some other equipment like bolsters, blocks etc (which we sell) although there are many people in the classes who do not have lots of equipment and we can improvise.

What to Wear - nothing special - just loose fitting trousers and a comfortable T shirt will be fine.  If you want to wear specialised yoga gear that's fine too.

Everyone is welcome to our classes and workshop whether they attend another class but want the extra practise at the weekend or are attending one of our classes during the holidays when their regular class is closed.

Attending our classes  You do not have to attend the same class each week and can mix and match.

 

The cost is: 

£45 for 10 classes and these can be used over a 12 week period* 
£25 for 5 classes to be used over a 6 week period*
£6.50 for a one off class*
* If you book a class and subsequently cancel for any reason that class still counts for your block.  You can attend any and as many classes as you wish providing you have the credite on your block. All payments are in advance and non-refundable and we ask that you always have at least one booking ahead.

For those who regularly like to attend at least two classes per week, we have a great  option.  Pay £40 per month by direct debit and come to as many weekly classes as you like - the only limit is your time (classes subject to availability)*  So you could be attending 5 classes per week and in a month with 5 weeks - that's £1.60 per class.

  Themed classes

Restorative Yoga  a very specific and personalised style of Yoga to deal with health and well being issues and good for those with limited energy or movement as well as more agile people wanting  to develop a complete sense of well-being.  These classes are by arrangement for an individual or small group and involve more support and individual attention from the teacher.  Please enquire if you are interested in this class.

 Yoga for Sports  Support  Subject to demand we also offer classes for Golf, runners, cyclists, swimmers,  cricketers, gym workers.  Some sports can lead to physical imbalance  because of the repetitive movements involved.  Yoga can help restore this imbalance.  Offered at our studio or insitu. Please enquire if you are interested - offered to individuals or select groups.

We also offer Yoga to support specific  groups i.e. weight loss, stress, anxiety. Please enquire about these classes.

Some styles are more suited to specific conditions for instance Yin is very helpful for those suffering from M.E. and anyone with low energy levels.   If you would like to discuss this with the teacher then please ring or email.  Tel 0161 764 1440 mail@mindandbodybury.co.uk

We have room for guest teachers and additional yoga teachers offering a contrasting discipline.  Please contact us for details.

Feedback

 I really enjoyed the class- please thank Barry for me -& I slept really well which is novel.  Can't wait for next week.

I spent £1000+ and about 18 months at the chiropractic because I had a painful lower back. I was advised by her not to do Yoga. It didn't improve much and I decided to come try Yin Yoga instead and over a period my back was completely better and stayed better. It's over two years since I have been to Barrys class and I am now beginning to get some twinges that tell me it is coming back. I need to find a local Yoga class with a teacher like Barry, to get on top of it before it gets bad (I've moved from Bury) but just want to thank Barry and to say that it would have saved me a lot of money to just do Yoga in the first place. I think the chiropractic was right though in that some Yoga classes would have been bad for my back but Barry is very skilled and encourages you to be careful and self-aware. So if you have a bad back i hope this help you feel confident to join one of Barry's classes. Thanks Barry.
