Purbeck Yoga @ Harmans Cross Village Hall is a serene and welcoming yoga studio located in Swanage, offering a range of yoga classes and workshops to promote physical and mental well-being.

Owned and operated by Jodi Sanders, a dedicated and experienced yoga teacher with a passion for sharing the benefits of yoga with others. Jodi's personal yoga journey began 17 years ago and has led her to explore various yoga styles and traditions, including Hatha Yoga, Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa Flow. She incorporates elements from each of these styles into her classes, emphasising the connexion between breath and movement.

At Purbeck Yoga, the focus is on providing a safe and supportive environment for students to explore their own yoga practise. Jodi believes in empowering her students to listen to their bodies and make mindful choices in their practise, emphasising postural alignment, strength, stability, and flexibility. She also provides guidance on breath control (Pranayama) and deep relaxation techniques (Yoga Nidra) to help reduce stress and anxiety.

Jodi has completed her teacher training in Sydney, Australia and has further training in Pregnancy and Family Yoga with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli. As a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200) with Yoga Alliance, she is committed to continued professional development and regularly attends courses and workshops to deepen her knowledge and understanding.

Whether you are new to yoga or have an established practise, Purbeck Yoga @ Harmans Cross Village Hall welcomes individuals of all ages, experience levels, and genders. The studio offers a range of classes tailored to different needs, including beginners' classes focusing on body control and postural alignment, as well as more advanced classes incorporating flowing sequences (Vinyasa), breath control (Pranayama), and meditation.

Yoga is believed to have originated over 5000 years ago and is often associated with physical exercise and stress relief in modern Western society. However, at Purbeck Yoga, the holistic nature of yoga is honoured, as it encompasses not only physical exercise but also mental and spiritual growth. By integrating the body, mind, and soul, yoga encourages personal growth, contentment, and happiness.

At Purbeck Yoga @ Harmans Cross Village Hall, the aim is to create a nurturing and inclusive community where individuals can experience the numerous benefits of yoga. Whether you are seeking physical fitness, mental clarity, or inner peace, this welcoming yoga studio is dedicated to supporting you on your yoga journey. Join us at Purbeck Yoga and experience the transformative power of yoga for yourself. Om Shanti.
