While most classes at Yogawest run on a drop-in basis, we also offer specialist courses which need to be booked in advance. These are usually 5 or 6 weeks in duration and offer an opportunity to learn with a group of fellow students.

You may have noticed a couple of shops catering for children, just a few minutes walk from Yogawest. Moodles and Oddsox are the latest additions to the thriving area of Gloucester Road Central. Both businesses are owned by Yogawest students.
Moodles, owned by Sarah Ubhi, opened in January 2014 and specialises in quality children’s clothing. All the clothing is British made, echoing Sarah’s wish to minimise her carbon footprint and her concerns about working conditions in overseas factories.
Sarah’s three children (aged 12, 10 and 8, and also Yogawest students) provide valuable input to Moodles, holding positions of business adviser, creative director and buying assistant!
The independent children’s shoe shop Oddsox was launched by friends Jo Adamson and Sarah Chope in 2012, offering quality footwear at an affordable price. With three children each, they were both aware of the need for a local alternative to the shopping mall. Footwear sizes in Oddsox range from pre-walkers up to an adult size 8.
We wish Sarah, Jo and Sarah continued success with their retail ventures.
