Hatha Yoga classes focus on foundational postures and breathing techniques to build strength, flexibility, and mindfulness. Suitable for all levels, these sessions promote physical balance and mental clarity through structured sequences. Our instructors guide students in adapting poses to individual needs, ensuring safe and effective practice.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga involves holding passive poses for extended periods to target connective tissues and improve joint mobility. Classes use props like bolsters and blankets to support deep relaxation and stress relief. This practice enhances energy flow and cultivates inner stillness, ideal for those seeking mindfulness and recovery.

These sessions reduce anxiety and improve emotional resilience, catering to beginners and experienced practitioners. The peaceful environment fosters self-reflection and long-term mental well-being.

I've been attending yoga classes at Southern Yoga and Health Centre for 12 years and have not found a better yoga studio. Chris is a very supportive and caring practitioner who offers well balanced and varied classes. She caters for anyone who might need to adapt poses due to injury or other issues. The room is large and airy and usually not too crowded. Highly recommend.

A lovely space to practise yoga with such a caring and mindful teacher. Great energy here, much better than the classes I've tried in gyms before. Looking forward to try all the different classes. Thank you for offering such a generous first timers offer

I had a truly wonderful experience at Southern Yoga. It was my first time doing yoga and I felt totally supported and guided through the session by The instructor Chris who was amazing. The space was perfect and I felt like I floated out of there. I can't wait for my next class.
