Classes are still running online at Yogawest

Online classes

Our timetabled classes are running online until 17 June 2021. In-house classes restart on 18 June. STOP PRESS We hope to offer an online ‘extra’ class option over alongside our in-house classes: watch this space for details tbc.

Please book your online class as usual in your Yogawest account: you can use your existing packs or choose to pay the full or a reduced fee.

Thank you to the wonderful Yogawest teachers who have been looking after the Yogawest community online during the pandemic: we know how challenging it has been and are full of admiration of how you have all coped and adapted and blossomed in the virtual world. It is clear that we ALL want to get back to real life classes as soon as we can!

Cost of online classes

Many of our regulars have wanted to pay for their online classes at the full class fee during the pandemic which is very much appreciated, but we do recognise that not everyone can do that, so we offer an ‘Online Reduced Rate’ class pack giving (approximately) a third off most classes.

Online class reduced rate £10 Available for classes (up to 90mins) that are usually in the studio and are run online during lockdown.

Online 2-hr class reduced rate £15 Available for classes (up to 90mins) that are usually in the studio and are run online during lockdown.

FAQs (about online classes)

How do I book? Click on the class you want to attend on the Yogawest calendar, then follow the instructions.
How do I get into a Zoom class? You will receive a confirmation email when you book with a link to the class in your Yogawest account: click the orange ‘video stream button’ to access the class. (You can also just click on the class on the Yogawest calendar page and log into your account).
Do I need a Zoom account? No, if you don’t have one you can access the class  via your browser.
Cancellations If you cancel before 24 hours of the start of an online class, your account will be re-credited with one class for re-use within the validity of the pack purchased. No credit is given if cancelled within 24 hours of the start of class, but do please cancel your place in your Yogawest account so we know not to expect you. Changes to your booking must be made by you in your account, regrettably Yogawest cannot action these for you by phone or email.
Minimum Numbers If numbers are low, class may not be able to run, in which case you will receive an email to let you know and your account will be re-credited.
Cover The class teacher may change to another Iyengar-qualified teacher if cover is required.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support, we hope to see you back in the Yogawest building again before too long.

Dynamic Class Monday evenings 8.30pm

SONY DSCZöe Hope is teaching this new class, launching in January 2017, featuring fast moving Iyengar sequences to stimulate and invigorate.

This class is suitable for those who want to work a little faster in class; it will include restful poses at the end to calm the body and mind before bedtime.

Good for skiers, climbers, cyclists and runners!

Not suitable for pregnancy or those with injuries.

On evenings you have less energy then usual, you may prefer to go to Tamara’s general class at 8.15pm instead.

Boys need yoga!

New teenager class starts June 6th – boys encouraged!

SONY DSCWe’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.

SONY DSCPlease help us get this class off the ground – tell your teenagers!
