Somewhere to put the week down
Yorei Yoga is a small studio with slow classes, warm floors and a room that stays quiet. Come for an hour, leave with your shoulders lower than when you arrived.
The idea
You do not have to arrive calm
Most people walk in wound up, and that is exactly the point. Nothing here asks you to be flexible, peaceful or experienced before you start. You put your bag down, you lie on the floor, and the hour does the rest.
We would rather you came once a week for a year than every day for a fortnight.
The classes
Four ways in, depending on the week you are having
There are seven classes on the timetable. These four are where most people start.
Never done this before
The beginners class names every shape before it asks for it, and nobody is watching you.
I want to move
Vinyasa flows from one shape to the next at the speed of your breath. Warm work, quiet head.
I am stiff and I never stretch
Yin holds a few floor shapes for minutes at a time. Long, quiet, and more demanding than it looks.
I have nothing left this week
Restorative props you up so completely that your body has nothing left to hold. Come as you are.
How an hour goes
Nothing happens that you have not been told about first
Classes run for an hour. You are told what is coming before it comes, every shape has an easier version, and stopping halfway is a normal thing that happens in every class.
- Mats, blocks, straps and blankets are here already
- Hands on adjustments only if you say yes
- Small groups, so the teacher can actually see you
The room
Wood, linen, plants, and a lot of empty floor.
The space
Built to be quiet, not to be photographed
One room, one window wall, plants that are actually watered and a floor that stays warm underfoot. There is no music in the changing area and no screen anywhere in the building.
One letter a month, no more
A short note when a new class opens or a workshop is announced. No offers, no countdowns, and one click to leave.
The floor is free on Tuesday
Tell us roughly what you are after and we will point you at the right class.
