News update: class relocation - 9 September 2024

Due to business relocation we are moving from our current home at Purplefish in Paintworks where we run our evening classes to a new space thanks to the team at Out There Indoors Play Cafe in Paintworks - 389 Paintworks, Bath Rd, Brislington, Bristol BS4 3AR (opposite Royal Photographic Society and Martin Parr Foundation.

It is a lovely space and perfect for practicing yoga as a group and has all the facilities we need - toilets, space for coats and shoes etc. It is used as a play cafe during the day and as all the furniture is on wheels and therefore mobile, we are able to create a great space to practice yoga and keep the classes running for the local community. We will also be able to continue to offer props but will encourage people to bring their own mats if possible as we will also be able to offer some extra spaces.

Classes will run as usual at Purplefish until 4 September and we will start evening classes at our new space from Monday 9 September. Times for classes will remain the same.

Due to the increase in overheads for running from this space we have introduced an increase in class fees which will now be £12.50 per class. To continue to offer cost effective options for regular students the class passes will remain with a small increase - a 10-class pass will be £100 and 5-class pass will be £55. Both valid to be used over six months. To ensure we remain accessible we will also be looking to introduce a community low-cost space for each class once we get established in the new space.

We’d like to thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to practicing with us. As ever if you have any ideas or suggestions on other things you would like to see from your classes please let us know.
