Ministry of Yoga

I started coming to MoY over 2 years ago. I began with 1:1 yoga therapy sessions with Shelley after suffering from recurring lower back problems. The sessions were great and I could really see and feel they were helping so I started to dip my toe into the classes. Fast forward 2 years plus and I’m now a full member along with my wife who I introduced to MoY about 6 months after I first joined. We love this place, we often say how it feels like we’ve found ‘our people’. We just can’t imagine it not being part of our lives.

A very welcoming place. If you are new to yoga or pilates, there is a class to suit you. Shelley and Dad will advise you and put you at ease. All the teachers are very experienced and lovely people. I cannot give this place enough praise.I have made lots of friends and the Open Mind cafe upstairs run by Monika is the perfect place to relax and eat good food after a class.

This is a brilliant class. Mandy is extremely knowledgeable and I feel energised, healthier and more in tune with my body every time I leave one of her sessions.

If you do one thing for yourself this week let it be going to Ministry of Yoga!I have a chronic lung condition, diabetes, arthritis and lots of other things related to inflammation in the body. I also suffer with anxiety and depression related to all these health woes and below is a little bit of how i realised that the health stuff is a very small part of me as a whole:Ministry of yoga isn’t just about stretching and bending and doing the splits, it’s a place to go, a place to feel welcomed and to be able to just be you with no judgement or explanation needed. You can eat, sit and of course do yoga but it’s so much more!!Between yoga therapy with the amazing Shelley, talks with Dan on reception, beautiful healthy but still indulgent food from Monika and Piotr in the cafe (the blueberry muffins are to die for!) and all the amazing teachers and people who frequent the place i’ve become much more me and what could be better really than being ok in your own skin! My health struggles are barely something i think about anymore, i’m more strong and confident and when i’m not i only have to think of this place and i’m automatically more calm and for those moments of overwhelm i know it’s there and all the beautiful people in it. My own personal sanctuary. Thank you MoY x

Ministry of Yoga is a place I wish I’d found some years ago. It is a calm oasis to go to to recharge the batteries drained by the pressures of a busy life style.The ambience is relaxing, the classes are exceptional, run by teachers who are second to none. MOY is managed by Shelley and Dan who have their client’s best interest at heart. I cannot recommend this place enough. On top of that there is a cafe that serves the most delicious food and drinks.

I've been coming to the Ministry of Yoga for nearly 2 years and I can honestly say it's been life changing. I've got very restrictive movement in one of my hips due to a childhood op so I was very dubious whether I would be able to do very much or benefit from it. How wrong was I?! I'm astounded at what I have learnt to do, how much stronger I feel physically and calmer mentally. It's such a welcoming place, all the teachers and Dan are really knowledgeable, encouraging, friendly and good fun. We've made lots of new friends and of course get the pleasure of Monika's homemade cakes and glorious coffee in the Open Mind Cafe after a class. There is something for everyone here. If you're looking to start, continue or renew your Yoga journey then this is the place, you won't regret it.

This feels like a true centre of Well being. The classes are great, good fun and very accessible for everyone. The environment is so congruous with the mission, it's calming, peaceful and a lovely place to spend time. The staff and instructors are all super friendly, capable and just lovely people all round. Thank you team MoY

A beautiful space and place to reconnect. So pleased I found this haven and once you walk in you just want to stay! It's soothing and comforting and you just want to go back for more. The variety of lessons are at a varied scale which I find so important. The teachers are so qualified and its good to know when I shouldnt be pushing my body like I want to.I want to keep this place a secret but that would be so wrong. A must for everyone. Also discovered the cafe there, I'm so pleased I went along and discovered myself.

I can’t wait for my next lesson, the hour that I spend here is so relaxing and peaceful. I certainly find a lot of benefits in doing these exercises.
