New Community Classes and fees

At Bristol Yoga Centre, we believe that classes should be accessible to everyone, so we offer low priced Community Classes. We no longer accept drop ins and all classes need to be booked in advance through our new booking system.

• Tuesday 5:00 -6:00pm - Yoga with Naomi (closed in the winter term)

• Wednesday 10:00 -11:00am - Mindfulness Meditation & Yoga with Naomi

• Thursday 19:30 - 20:45pm - Yoga with Kirsty

• Friday 11:30 - 12:30pm - Yoga with Naomi (closed in the winter term)

Everyone’s very welcome but we especially invite people on low or no-income, refugees and asylum seekers. Classes are suitable for all levels of students including beginners.

The fees from the Mindfulness Meditation and Yoga class on Wednesday go to Bristol Mind charity.

No one will be turned away due to lack of funds so if you cannot afford these prices, please get in touch with us. We look forward to seeing you in class!

Equipment for sale in the studio

Now that we’re asking students to bring their own equipment where possible, we’ve decided to start selling a small selection of environmentally friendly equipment that you can purchase online or buy in the studio (exact money only).

Sorry no delivery option available and it will be helpful to know when you’re thinking of visiting us so that we can have it ready for you.

Booking system now live

We are really happy that we’ll soon be able to re-open our doors after nearly 6 months with no yoga in the centre. We can’t wait to have our students back to practice. Hopefully it will help provide some much needed restoration and balance.

We have a smart new online booking system that we’re using for all in person and online streaming classes. Head on over and see which class takes your fancy. There is now only 6 spaces available in the studio so please book early to confirm your spot.

You can also choose to stream online if that works best for you. We have a high quality webcam setup in the studio so you’ll be able to reconnect with your teacher and get some excellent instruction direct from the BYC!
