We have an equal mix of males and females at the class and most people come along on their own, so it’s a great way to meet new people who are also looking to make positive changes in their life. The class is aimed at beginners like you, so you will be welcomed and supported to learn the moves and get to know others in the group. No experience is necessary because we have friendly assistants to help you learn at a pace that’s right for you.

Ashtanga Yoga
Thursdays 7:30pm
Teacher Stef guides an Ashtanga class with an occasional twist or two on the traditional style of teaching. It doesn’t generally include a breath count when in the poses but the sequence is taught with those familiar Ashtanga Vinyasa flows. It’s open to all levels so that experienced practitioners can always find the depth and beginners will be encouraged, challenged and where necessary have numerous options to modify.
Whether it’s your first class or 1000th, you will be just as entitled to access the blissful meditative state that arrives in sincere practice. The teaching language is anatomical and mindful as opposed to esoteric and mythological. Stef has studied anatomy at length from leading anatomist in the yoga field. With around a thousand hours of training under his belt and 5 years of teaching experience, you’ll be well looked after.
At Yoga Manchester we offer yoga classes throughout Manchester. We believe passionately that yoga is for everyone regardless of size, shape, age, sex or experience, and take pride in creating a welcoming environment for all.
Please note that Ashtanga Yoga is not currently meeting. Thank you.
