Yoga classes in Bury Town Centre for Men & Women

Weekly Hatha, Yin & Beginners Yoga Classes for Men & Women in Bury Town Centre -
guaranteed to make you feel relaxed or your money back

We enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with small classes - you will never find more than 12 in a class - so lots of individual attention if you want it.

The styles we currently offer are Hatha and Yin. You will find a brief explanation of the two styles and even better, why not try both and see which you like best.

Hatha is a traditional style of Yoga which is a good mixture of standing, balancing, mat postures, flows, breathing, meditation and relaxation. The underlying aim of Hatha Yoga is to balance Body, Mind and Emotions. It is a great way to develop flexibility, suppleness and strength and improve the efficiency of your breathing. Regular practice helps you develop a calmer outlook on life. Classes vary from week to week.


Yin is a great complementary style for those already practising yoga - it allows the soft tissue in and around the muscles and in joints including the spine to gently stretch for longer to aid comfort and flexibility . It is also a very calming and relaxing style. There are variations in pose to suit all anatomies - yin is evolving so no longer just a complementary style it is becoming a style in its own right.


Beginners These classes are intended to help you start to develop Hatha Yoga skills by cultivating the simple classic Yoga poses, so you can do them well and grow with them. You will be encouraged to develop your physical and mental awareness and experience the energy flow in your body through movement, quiet introspection and self observation. After a while you will probably be ready to move to one of the other classes.


Beginners workshops This is a 3 hour workshop for people who have never done Yoga before, which acts as a prelude for those who want to go onto the beginners class. It will introduce you to the idea of Yoga, how to approach posturing, breathing and some guidelines as to how to take care of yourself and get the most out of your Yoga classes. These are run periodically throughout the year (often Saturday mornings) and can be arranged specially for a group of 4 or more friends who would like to attend together.

Some styles are more suited to specific conditions for instance Yin is very helpful for those suffering from M.E. and anyone with low energy levels. If you would like to discuss this with the teacher then please email.

If you are coming regularly you may choose to build up some other equipment like bolsters, blocks etc (which we sell) although there are many people in the classes who do not have lots of equipment and we can improvise.

What to Wear -
nothing special - just loose fitting trousers and a comfortable T shirt will be fine. If you want to wear specialised yoga gear that's fine too.
