In this surreal time, classes have come to a pause. I have, however, started to add some foundation level videos to our YouTube channel for people of all ages and levels. These work on strengthening your Yoga foundations and can be used as an introduction, warm up, or simply to increase movement in a weak area.
Each day and group are different and therefore each class is different.
From philosophy to quantum physics, a wholistic approach to teaching.
Yoga is about discovering your true self and the nature of Reality.
A yoga class is a group of people discovering and discussing life. See below for information on our classes, or view our calendar to see what’s on when

“..and NOW Yoga begins. Yoga is the cessation of thought waves in the mind.”
Raja Yoga moves beyond the body, exploring practices and techniques that help to take us from BREATH to BEING. In these workshops, we look at Yoga philosophy and practises that sit between Asana and Meditation and are often overlooked. These practises lead us to a much more profound experience! The Raja workshops are not suitable for beginners but we welcome anyone who would like to be thrown in the deep end!
