Bristol Yoga Centre is Now Open

It’s finally here!

We have been working away behind the scenes for many months and now we can say, Bristol Yoga Centre is open.

We look forward to welcoming you all along to our lovely studio in 10 Park Row Bristol so you can see the changes that have been going on.

We are going to be running some fantastic events and promotions so if you’d like to come along to some free classes or win some great prizes, then keep your eyes open!

Naomi has she has a long history with the space and has been teaching there for many years. She had been keen to open her own studio in Bristol was really excited when the chance to take on this space arose.

“I feel incredibly lucky to be given this opportunity and look forward to making Bristol Yoga Centre a vibrant and an exciting studio for everyone”

When we took over from Yoga Space in early March there was already a fantastic group of exceptionally experienced and well-trained Yoga & Pilates teachers.  Since then we’ve been really happy to bring some excellent new people to the team.

We are really excited that we have space right in the heart of Bristol where we can offer exciting Workshops and Training as well as great weekly classes.

Inspirational 2 hour Scaravelli Yoga with Kate Fox

This enjoyable 2 hour monthly session explore a free-form, intuitive approach to practice, with a focus on how to move in a more connected, harmonious way. Inspired by the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli, you will learn to move sensitively, avoiding imposing on the body and helping you to move with ease towards each Asana. 

I encourage you to be less fixed on the shape you're making and instead invite you to feel and observe your body as it moves, noticing subtle connections in the body, areas of tension, and patterns of holding that limit your mobility. Learn to use gravity and the breath to both strengthen and release, and find a new freedom of movement in the body.

Everyone is invited, whether you are an experienced yoga practitioner or a complete beginner to find more strength and suppleness in the body through the use of movement, breath, gravity and discovering length in your spine. 

Please get in touch with questions or to book a space. 
Kate's contact details:
email: info@yogawithkaty.co.uk
phone: 07967 623392
Web: www.yogawithkaty.co.uk

This workshop costs £20 per class (£18 concessions). Venue is at Bristol Yoga Space, 10 Park Row, BS1 5LJ

Next session dates are: 
Sunday May 21st 2017
Sunday June 25th 2017
All from 11:30 - 13:30pm (2 hours session)

These session are now available on MoveGB clients too.

Easter Holidays

There are no yoga classes running on Good Friday 14th & Bank Holiday Monday 17th April 2017.

Also this year, I have decided not to continue running my classes at the Bristol University gym over their Easter holidays. Normally, I run these classes even when most of the students are away on their breaks, but I've taken the opportunity to concentrate on setting up my new yoga studio. So the Bristol University classes on Mondays 4:30 - 6pm & Wednesday 12:30 - 1:30pm are closed between 3 - 19th April. The classes will restart as usual from Monday 24th April 2017. 

I hope you have a lovely Easter holidays!

We are currently busy building the new website and creating a logo for the centre. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you soon. As usual, we are making it ourselves so bear with us (this is one of the reason why I'm getting some of my classes covered by other lovely yoga teachers).

I hope your enjoying the longer days and (slightly) warmer weather :)

Everyday Yoga Holiday Article on Spectrum Magazine

I was asked by the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) Spectrum Editor, Tori Williams to write an article on the benefits of yoga retreat for their Spring issue.  It was great timing as my first ever yoga holiday in Tarifa, Spain is scheduled on 17 - 24th June 2017.

I wrote a short piece titled 'Finding balance at a yoga retreat' to highlight the benefits of attending a yoga holiday. For those of you that would like to read it without getting magnifying glass, I will post the full article on my blog soon.

I've been a member of the BWY since 2003 and the spectrum is a great informative magazine on yoga and events around the UK. 

This morning, I found the copy on my door step and I was really excited to see the Everyday Yoga article in their magazine.

I still have several spaces left in the retreat so if you are interested in coming along, get in touch! For more details about the retreat, see here. 

Everyday Yoga is getting a studio in Bristol

I'm super excited to announce that I will be taking over the Bristol Yoga Space Park Row studio from March 2017.  The studio has been operating for over 7 years and I've been teaching there since the year opened. I feel incredibly lucky to be given this opportunity, it also feels like a natural progression in my yoga teaching career.

There will be more Yoga & Pilates classes and workshops added to the timetable and there are lovely new yoga teachers joining the team. I've just brought some yoga props such as yoga belts, bricks, eye pillows, bolsters and Pilates bands so the studio will be fully equipped very soon. 

I am taking over the popular Friday morning class from 10:00 - 11:00am and a brand new Friday lunch time class at 12:00 -1:00 pm will be added from next term (10th March 2017). The new term starts on the 6th March 2017. Please see here for more details. 

The studio will continue to be called Bristol Yoga Space during the transitionary period but it will eventually change to 'Everyday Yoga'. A brand new website and logo will be launched around the same time too.

For details about the classes at the studio please visit the Bristol Yoga Space Park Row page. I look forward to welcoming you in this lovely new space.

The BWY Foundation course in May 2017

I’m really happy to announce that I will be running my third foundation course starting next May 2017 at the Bristol City Yoga studio.  The last two courses were a real success and I enjoyed running the course but I decided to take some time off to give myself time to reflect.

One of the strengths of this foundation course is that it allows students time and space to learn about yoga in a supportive environment with similar minded people. Unlike many fast-tracked training courses, this course runs over ten months giving people enough time to absorb the knowledge properly. 

The syllabus has been carefully selected by the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) to provide students with essential knowledge of yoga. The BWY is one of the largest and most reputable yoga membership organisations in the UK and was founded in 1965.  They were awarded National Governing Body status by the then Sports Council in 1995.

The course emphasises personal development and large part of the course will be dedicated to establishing a balanced personal yoga practice. Students will also be asked to keep a regular yoga journal and complete some homework.

If you are interested in expanding your knowledge of yoga or are considering to teach yoga in the future, this course will be for perfect you.  The perquisite for the course is minimum of two years group yoga class attendance or equivalent.  Please take the time to check the course description and the syllabus carefully.

To find out more about the course, click here. If you are interested in applying for the course, contact Naomi@everdayyoga.co.uk and I can send you the application form.
