Yoga Classes in Leeds

The classes run in person from our beautiful studio in Oulton (South Leeds)  as a five week course. We have designed the classes to be suitable for any age and any ability, offering both a beginners class for those starting out as complete beginners as an introduction to yoga, plus our standard class for the slightly more advanced participants.

Our Yoga in Leeds classes have the following benefits:

·  Improves balance

·  Improves flexibility

·  Improves strength

·  Relaxation

·  Improves general well-being

We use a variety of equipment such as blocks, belts and chairs to help assist you with the exercise. Over the course you will learn some key yoga postures and learn the importance of breathing with an element of meditation. Emphasis will be on movement and flexibility.

Don’t worry if you have never done Yoga before, our classes run as a course that will introduce you to the technique gradually to help you build your strength and flexibility at your own pace.

Our classes run as a 5 week course and the cost is £45 a course for attending one in-person class a week (discounts available for additional classes i.e adding Pilates also).

Hi, I'm Rosie! 

I've been teaching yoga for more than 6 years and practicing for much longer - I grew up with a yoga teacher Dad, which most people don't know about me!

After a stressful period in my twenties I found Ashtanga, and became a bit obsessed. I love the fire of the ujjayi breath and the repetition of practicing the same sequence of poses every day. I also loved the change I felt in my body and mind - I felt physically stronger than ever, and mentally calmer too.

I did an intensive 6 week yoga teacher training in Spain, focusing on Ashtanga, Vinyasa and anatomy. Since then I've done several more teacher trainings, including a really interesting one in Portugal that focused on the neuroscience of yoga - it's funny because biology was my worst subject at school, but it's now such a huge part of my work!

I'm very drawn to the science behind poses and breathing exercises, which translates to, I think, a pretty modern yoga practice. And I now teach a Hatha-inspired style, as it gives me time to break down each pose, help my students build strength and familiarity, and most importantly use the breath more effectively.

My classes are very friendly and relaxed, and I offer multiple options in every pose so my students can adapt their practice depending on what they need that day. I encourage comments and questions during class, and don't be surprised if I (try to) make a joke or two! This informal, and very human, approach helps me feel connected to the tradition of yoga as more than just a physical practice, leaving our ego at the door, focusing on community, and just creating good positive energy!
