If classes are full when you try to book please let us know that you are waiting as we sometimes get last minute cancellations.

Sometimes guest teachers cover the classes

We operate a pre booking system Please see terms and conditions below.**
Our studio is not massive and we often get full and like to make sure everyone has a little space around them so it really is important to book in advance.

We don't want to dissappoint you so please do book before turning up. Sometimes classes have to be cancelled at the last minute and we don't want you turning up to closed doors and worse sometimes classes are full and we feel really bad if we have to turn you away.

If you have trouble with the booking system please ring Barry on 07926 030890

The styles we currently offer are Hatha & Yin You will find a brief explanation of each here and even better, why not try each and see which suits you best best.

We have vacancies on most of our classes and you can come to the same class each week or choose classes to fit in with your life.

What to expect from your class

All our Yoga, classes with the exception of Yin, begin with a short period of relaxation followed by warm up poses. You can then expect a series of postures lying on the mat, standing, balance work and sitting. Breathing and using breathing in posture is included in all the classes. At the end of the class there will be a period of relaxation which might include yogic breathing techniques and various relaxation/meditation methods. Sometimes the end relaxation is extended to include guided relaxation and meditation techniques - usually that is indicated on the class description or included in the weeks programe as a special class.

The relaxation at the end of the class can be experienced in many ways. Those who find it difficult to relax may not benefit from it straight away. However, after you have been coming for a while it is usual to occasionally feel as though you have drifted off into a deep sleep, yet you are still aware of where you are. That is a sign that you are in a deep relaxation and very occasionally it may be that you have fallen asleep.

Not sure which class style is for you? For advice or to discuss email [email protected] or text 07926 030890.

Equipment - no need to bring your own mats or blankets whilst you are trying it out, 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 bring your own mat and build up some other equipment like bolsters, blocks etc. although this is not essential.. Some people prefer to use specialised yoga towels to cover the matsl.

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 workshops 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.

Special request 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 can also be 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. These classes are usually delivered on demand for groups.

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 [email protected]

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. (A. L.)

Thankyou - from Scotland - for the yin yoga Friday and the laughter workshop
Sunday. The "Inner Smile" seems to have settled in and is having a good
holistic effect! Hope to see you again sometime - best wishes Abi

I loved the Yin Yoga and the fantastic atmosphere in your studio
