costs and timings…
Our beginners yoga course runs three times a year in January, at Easter and from September. Classes are on Monday evenings from 6.30 – 7.30pm at our Woodthorpe Yoga Studio. Our next group of students will be starting on 3rd October 2023, with the course finishing on 19th December 2023. We’d love to see you on the mat!
We’d encourage you to give it a proper shot and complete the full 12 weeks to truly feel all the benefits. If you sign up after the start date, you can still join and pay for the remainder of the programme. We want you to start quickly, so you strike while the iron is hot.
The course costs £120 and is an investment in your health. On top of your weekly beginners yoga class, you can access our live and pre-recorded online sessions at no extra cost to help you establish a daily practice.
Once you complete the programme, that is the perfect time to commit to membership. This will keep the momentum you’ve built going, so you stay on track and reach your goals. You can continue to progress with the beginners classes or move up to an improvers class. Your teacher will be there to guide you, so that your next step feels right for you.

First time I’ve touched my toes in 35 years!
Ian Woods, 56, Consultant Anaesthetist
“I needed to look no further”
When I moved York, I tried 4 different classes – when I started Peacock Tree Yoga’s Gentle Hatha class I knew I needed to look no further!
Pat Hender, 74, Counsellor
“I was a bit skeptical”
As a bloke, I was a bit skeptical to try yoga, but after my first lesson those thoughts vanished. It’s brilliant.
Ryan Hoey, 20, Student
“I lost over a stone”
I lost over a stone in a year and the only thing I did differently was Peacock Tree yoga. I love it.
Sue Coe, 45, Customer Service Representative
“I feel so different after a class”
Thank you very much for allowing me to join you, I do enjoy it soooo much both mentally and physically… I feel so different after I’ve done a class, it’s wonderful.
Paula Longbone
“sharing your knowledge”
I had a great experience on Thursday night. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your beautiful voice, calmness and devotion.
Ming Wang – HGH Accountants
“wonderful uplifting energy”
Thanks for a beautiful class this eve. It felt very special. And a huge thank you for your positive energy. Even when doing so much day to day you still bring the most wonderful uplifting energy.

“an hour’s pleasure”
For me, each Monday you bring an hour’s pleasure (and much needed exercise) and such a ray of Sunshine too!
Jack Marchbank
“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.
Debs Whitwell
“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.
