Yoga Well, located in Cheltenham, offers a variety of yoga therapy services, classes, workshops, and private tuition. Their mission is to help individuals achieve harmony in their body, mind, and spirit, regardless of their age, fitness level, or ability. Yoga is known for improving flexibility, strength, stamina, balance, and posture, while also promoting mental clarity and reducing stress. Yoga Well aims to provide people with the opportunity to experience these benefits for themselves.
The yoga classes at Yoga Well are based on Hatha yoga traditions. Participants flow through a range of yoga poses, or asanas, while focusing on their breath. This practise helps clear the mind and introduces a sense of calm and well-being. The classes are designed to cater to individuals with different skill levels and experiences.
There are gentler and slower classes for those new to yoga, as well as dynamic advanced classes for more seasoned practitioners. Additionally, there are classes specifically designed for individuals with health conditions such as Parkinson's or cancer, following the principles of yoga therapy.
