Most yoga practitioners spend a lot of time working with the body.

We learn postures. We build strength and flexibility. We explore movement, alignment and technique.

But yoga has always placed enormous importance on the breath.

Pranayama - the practice of working consciously with the breath - is one of the eight limbs of yoga and sits at the heart of many traditional yoga practices.

Whether you practise Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, meditation or chanting, the breath is already there supporting and influencing everything else.

Join Laura for our monthly pranayama class and spend some time exploring a practice that sits at the heart of yoga.

🍃 Sunday 28 June
⏰ 3pm - 4.15pm

When people enquire about our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, they often assume they need to be completely certain they want to teach.

But that's not always the case.

Judi says:

"There’s a third group - the 'not yet' people. Those who have been practising for a while and feel something pulling them towards more, without being entirely sure what that more looks like.

If that's you, that's completely fine. It's actually one of the best places to start from."

A teacher training can be about learning to teach.

It can also be about deepening your own practice, understanding yoga more fully and exploring subjects that rarely fit into a weekly class.

You don't need to have everything mapped out before you begin.

If you'd like to learn more about our next 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training starting in September, you'll find details at merchantcityyoga.com or you're welcome to get in touch with Judi for a chat [email protected]

Through its deep listening and meditative effects, mantra can take us deeper into the state of yoga.

In July's Seasonal Mantra class with Laura, we'll explore the Aṣṭāṅga opening chant - learning its pronunciation, rhythm, meaning and philosophy, as well as an additional verse dedicated to the sage Patañjali.

No knowledge of Sanskrit or singing ability is required. This class is suitable whether you're completely new to the chant or already familiar with it. Together we'll explore how to read Sanskrit IAST transliteration (a useful skill to have!) and look at how this mantra can shape and support your āsana practice.

Sunday 26 July, 3-4.15pm

You don’t need to be flexible to start yoga - just like you don’t need to know how to drive to take driving lessons.

One of the biggest misconceptions about yoga is that you need to get fitter, stronger or more bendy before you begin.

You don't.

Our 4-week Intro to Ashtanga Yoga course is designed specifically for beginners. Over four weeks, Annabelle Mac will guide you through the foundations of the practice in a way that is clear, supportive and accessible, with plenty of options to adapt the practice to suit your body and energy levels.

✨ Thursdays 7.30–9pm
✨ Starts 6 August
✨ Small group (max 12 students)

Come exactly as you are. You'll be supported, encouraged and challenged - in the best way.
