reclaim your strength with our gentle hatha yoga classes

gentle hatha yoga classes | Mondays 11am – 12pm | Holgate Yoga Studio

We believe life is about illumination, continual growth and progression. Yoga is well known to give you a strong body that moves freely and with ease. A regular practice adds years to your life, and life to your years.

Our beautiful gentle hatha yoga classes in York are the best place to begin if you are returning to yoga after a break, recovering from an injury or an older adult. They’re also ideal if you’re looking for a daytime practice.

We want you to experience increased energy and vitality. We do this by focusing on postures that help you to improve or regain your strength, balance and flexibility, so you reduce the risk of injury and continue to enjoy life to the fullest.

Ideal for any age, classes blend together gentle yoga poses with moments of rest and relaxation. We pepper our teaching with bite-sized chunks of yogic philosophy and mindfulness exercises to expand your awareness beyond the mat.

Come along and try a free class and feel the benefits for yourself.

While we enjoy classes together, everyone is on their individual journey. Each student works at their own pace and knows their limits. We understand that you may feel different each week. You choose your practice on the day. If you’re unsure what level you’re at, your yoga teacher is there to guide you.

By committing to Peacock Tree Yoga membership, you have something to look forward to in your diary that helps you reach your flexibility and fitness goals. Our gentle hatha classes are also a wonderful social moment in your week. With a superb atmosphere, filled with lively energy and a sense of lightness, they’re a fantastic way to make friends and become part of a vibrant wellness community.

“a sense of community”

  I always love the insight and knowledge you share.  You have a joyful and patient perspective in a very confusing daily routine for me. The thing above all that Peacock Tree yoga has given me is a sense of community, knowing that I gain insights from you and being able to connect to others in the world outside of my family and immediate friends.

“stepping out of the maelstrom”

 

Doing yoga with you is like stepping out of the maelstrom and having some tranquillity, not having to think about it all for an hour. It’s refreshing and revitalising.
