Spread the Joy

Posted on October 4, 2013

One of the best ways of people finding Yogawest is through reviews on the internet. We looked recently and found there are only 2 reviews of us out there, and we’d really love it if you could find 5 minutes to add one of your own.

To say thank you we’ll give you a voucher for £5 off your next purchase at Yogawest. Simply email us telling us where to find the review and we will reply with your gift voucher.

Use them or lose them!

Posted on September 27, 2013

Some of our classes have low numbers and we’d love to get more of you along to them to secure their place on the timetable. These include Wednesday Early Morning, Sunday evening, Friday lunchtime classes. We are also introducing another new Yogawest teacher on Thursday evenings: see below.

Early Morning

For those of you who love to start your day with yoga we have a 7:30-8:30am class taught by Jess. We have some loyal regulars but unfortunately the class numbers are in need of a boost to sustain it. If you have been thinking about trying an early morning class or if you are puzzling over where you can fit more yoga into your week this may be the class for you. Bring a friend before going out for breakfast or come before tackling that pile of paperwork. This class is in danger of being discontinued and we will review it at half term.

Sunday Evening

By popular demand we have introduced a Sunday evening general class from 18:00-19:30. This is a lovely way to finish your weekend and prepare for the week ahead. Julian is a new teacher at Yogawest though many of you may already know him from the classes he attends and covers here. So do come and try it!

Friday Lunchtime

Did you know that Edgar Stringer now teaches the Friday lunchtime general class 12:30-14:00? He is a senior teacher so you can expect to learn a lot under the instruction of this very experienced, nurturing teacher.

New Teacher

We have a new teacher starting with us this month, we are pleased to welcome Luke Hutchison to Yogawest. Luke is teaching the beginners class on Thursday evenings from 18:15-19:30 and foundation courses (see timetable for start dates) from 20:00-21:00.
