Advanced does not necessarily mean supple or strong but relates to, for example, the ability to take bandhas (locks) in the poses. If you are not sure which level you would enjoy most just give me a call and I'll tell you more.

Although several of the classes are full my students are often willing to swap into a another group to make space for newcomers. All classes are friendly and the atmosphere is calm, focused and very relaxing, described as “like coming home”! Some groups like to chat and laugh, others prefer silence.

Yoga Through the Summer

In August two classes may continue on a pay-as-you-go basis. These will be open to everyone including newcomers. On Wednesday afternoons some of us make the most of the opportunity to do our Yoga in the open on the grass outside while those preferring cool and shade practise indoors.

Payment options:

You are welcome to one free taster session to make sure that you enjoy it.

A good reduction is offered for payment made termly in advance, averaging out at just under £7.50 per session.

The drop-in fee per session varies from £10 to £15 and can only be offered in groups that are not yet full.

Paying termly gives you the option of making up for any sessions missed in one of the other classes that are not full (apart from the Horseriders).

Proportionate concessions can be made for anyone new joining after the start of their first term.

I am happy to negotiate an adjustment to the fees if you are unable to attend as a result of, for instance, a hospital admission.

Payment methods: bank transfers are easiest. Please make cheques payable to 'Penny Jolly Yoga'

Although some of the classes are full my students are willing to swap into a different group to make space for newcomers. All classes are friendly and the atmosphere is calm, focused and very relaxing, described as “like coming home”! Some groups like to chat and laugh, others prefer silence, the choice is yours.

Clothing: either very stretchy or loose clothing with bare feet is best but please wear what you like, some people choose leotards or gym outfits, others prefer something less clingy.

You will need a mat and a light blanket to cover up with during relaxation. You may wish to bring a block or cushions and a tie or non-stretchy belt. I can often bulk buy blocks and mats to pass on to you at a reduced price.
