The Summer Holiday Timetable for 2016 is here – we are open everyday over the summer but with a reduced timetable so do check the timetable before you come to class during July 23rd to end August.

The full timetable resumes on September 2nd.

We’ve set up a new teenager yoga class for both teenage girls and boys. Our Monday teenager class is very girl-dominant and we hope more boys may come if there is a class with more boys in it.
Teenagers tend to get very stiff in their joints and muscles and due to various lifestyle habits (sport, gaming and of course school-stress), can find it difficult to undo tension and body stress. Regular yoga practice can help to teach and encourage greater body awareness, flexibility and focus.
Many sporting celebrities (Ryan Giggs for example) have used Iyengar yoga to support their career in Rugby, Football and Cricket to name but 3 sports.
This class runs on termtime Thursdays at 4.30 and is taught by Zoë.
Please help us get this class off the ground – tell your teenagers!

We’d love to set up a class suitable for teenage boys. Our popular teenager class is very girl-dominant and we think more boys may come if there is a class with more boys in it.
Teenagers tend to get very stiff in their joints and muscles and due to various lifestyle habits (sport, gaming and of course school-stress), can find it difficult to undo tension and body stress. Regular yoga practice can help to teach and encourage greater body awareness, flexibility and focus.
Many sporting celebrities (Ryan Giggs for example) have used Iyengar yoga to support their career in Rugby, Football and Cricket to name but 3 sports.
This class is likely to run on a Friday at 4.30 and be taught by Diana. We expect to promote it to secondary school age boys, but allow girls to attend so long as they don’t outnumber the boys!
We will need a group of 5 or 6 to get it off the ground, so if you can get a few boys together, great!
It would be good to start this after Easter 2016…
What do you think? Let Jon know if you are interested.

We are adding a couple of new classes to the timetable for 2016. They are likely to be quieter classes to start with, so a good opportunity for you to get some extra attention in class. It’s always good to come to a new class, as the teacher will often take the group of students through the levels together – a good journey to share!
A 75 minute beginners class suitable for those recently started or returning to yoga, or those who want to revisit the basics. Taught by Katy it runs during termtime: check dates online.
Cost £10 drop-in (or £8 with a Yogacard-12).
No need to book: just come!
By popular demand, a new Friday morning class. This 75 minute beginners class is suitable for those recently started or returning to yoga, or those who want to revisit the basics. Taught by Zoë.
Cost £10 drop-in (or £8 with a Yogacard-12).
No need to book: just come!
And there’s also Annemarie’s recently launched class:
Monday mornings can get quite busy at Yogawest, so we added a new class in Studio 2 taught by Annemarie. This class is a general level, and beginners are very welcome. This runs during termtimes, so keep an eye on the timetable for dates. (The online timetable will list the dates when the class is not running).

lasses are running every day throughout the holiday period except on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day
The Full Yogawest timetable resumes on Saturday January 2nd 2016.
Some of our teachers are taking a well-earned break over Christmas, and recharging their batteries for the New Year. In their absence we are lucky to have some guest teachers on the timetable.
Melroy Mukwaya
Melroy has recently retired from her ‘day’ job and we’ve made the most of her availability to cover classes at Yogawest this Autumn. When she’s ready, we hope to have Melroy on the timetable on a more permanent basis.
Zoë Hope
Since qualifying as a teacher in the Autumn, Zoe has been covering classes at Yogawest, and we are hoping she will be teaching her own class at Yogawest soon. Zoë has spent many years in the Iyengar world and has studied extensively in India with the Chanchanis, consequently her teaching is mature and knowledgeable.
Paul Reilly
Many of you know Paul as he used to teach in Bristol before moving to France to run retreats with his wife and family. We are pleased that he can teach four classes for us over the holiday period.
NB the 2-hour class on Thursday 31st is open to all levels and men too (during termtime it’s a women’s class).
