We offer a variety of yoga classes in different disciplines and levels. Whether you are trying yoga for the first time or want to develop your practice further you will get expert tuition and guidance in a friendly and inviting environment.

Yoga is an ancient philosophy and practical system for physical development and well-being. Yoga practice can help to improve flexibility, physical strength, concentration and balance, whilst at the same time reducing stiffness and sluggishness, cleansing the body and relaxing the mind. At One Life Studio our priority is to teach the practice in a way that is safe and sensitive to your individual needs and body type.

Pilates


Beginner and Intermediate classes in mat-work Pilates are available as well as one to one Pilates tuition and Pilates rehabilitation for specific injuries.

Originally called 'Controllogy', Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates in the 1920's as a way of overcoming physical limitations within his own body. He developed a series of exercises which focus on the core muscles first, specifically the stomach and back. Pilates is a gentle, non-aerobic exercise method which lengthens and strengthens the muscles and improves core stability and posture without stressing the joints or the heart. Because Pilates works in a slow and controlled manner it is suitable for people of all ages and abilities and is especially helpful in rehabilitation after injury or for lower back pain sufferers.
