My suggestion is that you book ALL the sessions you’d like to attend for the upcoming month as soon as they’re released to avoid disappointment as space is limited. All November dates are currently live on my website: LOOK & BOOK

This class is great if you like to have the postures and techniques broken down and explained.

Whatever your reason for coming, you’re very welcome!

Fridays - Flow Yoga - 9.30-10.30

Fridays - Thai Yoga Massage - 11.00-12.30

In traditional Thai yoga massage, the recipient remains clothed while the body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked. The practitioner uses thumbs, palms, forearms, elbows, knees and feet to create a dance of movement on the body, which is part massage and part assisted yoga.  The overall effect is one of deep relaxation, rejuvenation, physical and mental wellbeing. Treatments take place on a heated futon on the floor.  Please dress as you would for an exercise class in soft, stretchy, comfortable clothes.

Workshops

90 min Yin Yoga Workshops at Yoga Bodhi in Bath on the 1st Sunday of every calendar month - 10.30-12.00

Yin yoga is a slow-paced, passive style of yoga where poses are held for extended periods (often 3-5 minutes or longer) to target the nervous system and tissues deep in the body. Rooted in Taoist philosophy, the practice involves finding a sustainable "edge" of stretch or compression, remaining still, and allowing gravity to deepen the pose. By reducing muscular effort and focusing on breath and mindfulness, yin yoga enhances flexibility, joint mobility, and a sense of calm and balance within the body and mind.

Please book direct with the studio.
