Yoga Wakefield — Your Local Yoga Studio
Yoga Wakefield was created to offer a calm, inclusive space where real people can move, breathe, and reconnect with themselves. Our classes are designed for every body – whether you’re completely new to yoga, returning after a break, or looking to deepen your practice.
We focus on simple, accessible movement, mindful breathing, and building strength gently and safely. There’s no pressure to be flexible or experienced; you’re encouraged to go at your own pace and listen to what your body needs.
Our aim is to help you feel better in everyday life — more relaxed, more mobile, and more grounded. Yoga Wakefield is a friendly, down‑to‑earth community where everyone is welcome.

My background:
I have had a lifelong passion for all things fitness, with activities ranging from track and field competitive events, 35 years of practice on Pilates Reformer and mat work, and 30 years practising Yoga.
My yoga:
I qualified as a Yoga Teacher in November 2021 with Yoga Hero in Leeds and can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life, I feel you are never too old in life to follow your passions and dreams, just go for it, I went on 2 do three more courses with Yoga hero and qualified in them all.
The tutors at Yoga Hero will inspire you and give you the hunger to learn more, it really is a wonderful experience.
I very much enjoyed learning about Yoga philosophy, which gives you a deeper appreciation of the way the mind works and give you an insight into Indian Spirituality.
I am extremely passionate about what I do and never felt happier than when I’m on my mat.
I have a fully dedicated Yoga Studio in Wakefield set in our Chapel in Alverthorpe, it truly is a beautiful space and has a wonderful ambience, I love to teach here and for me where you practice Yoga is important, our space is safe, warm and inviting, read our reviews to see what our yogis say about us.
At the start of all my own classes I prepare with a mixture of breath-work and exercises to help free up the busy mind. I add lots of strength and conditioning elements to my classes with a few choice Pilates elements creeping in, I feel strength in the central core is essential for Yoga and Pilates to maintain good alignment and posture.
I love to inspire my yogis and love watching them grow stronger in mind and body every week.
