Stroud Sky Yoga

Yesterday me, my friend and her daughter visited Stroud Sky Yoga, as we signed up to an aerial yoga workshop! It was absolutely brilliant, especially as we had never done it before! Bryony was our instructor and was very welcoming, warm, jovial and good fun to spend the afternoon with! She was great at explaining clearly every step to ensure we could all complete every move, safely, but most of all, easily! Was good fun to be able to use your body and the hammock to balance in various positions, especially upside down! The hour sound bath at the end, I’ve never done! I’m usually not very good at relaxing and was a little concerned it may be a little out of my comfort zone and not my thing! A bit to organic! However it wasn’t! It’s very relaxing in your hammock with a blanket, chilling out to sounds, so much so I’ve downloaded similar sounds since to chill at home! A great experience and we will visit again! Great to do with friends, family, your partner or on your own as everyone is very friendly! Would highly recommend and good value for money for a great experience, that’s good for the body and the mind! Thank you for making us so welcome and at ease and for making it so easy to try new things! Thanks guys x

As a newbie to yoga I wasn’t sure what to expect but Stroud Sky Yoga exceeded any expectations I had! The classes feel so inclusive so it doesn’t matter what level you are at and the space and environment are perfect for the classes. All the instructors are so lovely and make you feel very welcome. I am so pleased I found Stroud Sky Yoga :)

I have loved my first few weeks at Stroud Sky Yoga! Briony and Matilda have been SO welcoming, and took the time to hear about where I’m at and what brought me to pilates classes. I’m already loving reformer pilates, it’s challenging and fun, and the space itself is so lovely. As a mum to a baby and toddler, it’s been amazing to find somewhere to have a bit of time to myself and take care of my body and mental health. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Wow, what an experience. I recently attended a beginners Aerial Yoga workshop and it was one of the best experiences I have had. Briony exudes energy, humour and kindness and she clearly knows her stuff. I am experienced at yoga, but this took me to a whole new level. It helped me increase in confidence and realise further that I all my limitations come from within me. Such a fabulous boost, I felt energised and confident leaving the studio, but boy did my abs hurt the next day! Thanks Briony I am a complete convert and can't wait to explore my limitations further.

I attended a floating sound bath session - it was wonderfully relaxing and a beautiful environment. Briony is very welcoming and instantly puts you at ease. Loved it!

Stroud Sky Yoga - you have to experience it to fully understand the energy of the place, but I’ll try my best to do it justice:I’ll start with this -I can often have incredible amounts of anxiety about meeting new people and trying new things, which occasionally I find the inner strength to overcome, but my goodness, am I glad that I did in this case!Briony is the loveliest and most beautiful soul I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and I’m so grateful for the community she’s creating here.Everyone I meet in the studio is friendly and supportive and we always have a great time, whatever the vibe. Connectedness has always been important to me and so I feel immensely blessed to be a part of this wonderful world.Aerial yoga is the one and only highlight of my week. It is so much fun, but also gives me the rest and reset I require from my chaotic lifestyle. My favourite part is definitely the calm and relaxation at the end (taking time for yourself is so much easier in the serenity of the studio), but it has also been satisfying to notice improvements in my strength. I honestly don’t know how I survived without it!!If even a small part of you thinks this is for you, come and hang out with us! I promise you won’t regret it <3

A lovely spacious studio with good facilities (Mats, props, bolsters, eye pillows etc). friendly teachers and very helpful and responsive when having a couple of technical issues booking a class.Understandably it must be difficult and expensive to heat such a large space and I found the studio quite cold and wore a jumper for the majority of classes and usually only got warm towards the end of a class, although appreciate unpredictable autumn weather possibly had an impact. Not sure how cold it would be in winter though - eek! I found all of the classes (vinyasa flow/aerial) to be more relaxing than energising/active and slower than I expected. Perhaps if you are used to a powerful flow or stronger more active practise this may not be for you.Briony’s aerial class was different and fun and great to try.

I was looking for a yoga class that wasn't just an impersonal hour following a person in a cramped studio.... and I found it. There is a real ethos here to make people feel comfortable, to get to know you and understand what you want / need from the class. There is plenty of time before and after the class to have a quick chat, a cup of herbal tea and to get into the zone, and no feeling of being jammed in like a sardine! I love it!

I joined Sky Yoga a few months ago and absolutely love it. I find myself doing things I really didn’t think I could … hanging upside down in a hammock. Amazing teachers and a lovely atmosphere.
