Over 40 years, Yoga with Robin Lipsey has been offering gentle yoga classes in a beautiful setting in Wolvercote, North Oxford. With a focus on health, fitness, well-being, and peace of mind, these classes are suitable for people of various fitness levels who prefer a non-competitive atmosphere.

Robin Lipsey, one of Oxford's most experienced and highly regarded yoga teachers, brings an accessible approach to yoga that is comfortable and enjoyable for beginners from their very first class. Most students in his classes are over 50, with many being in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s. However, there is also a sprinkling of younger members who appreciate the gentle approach that Robin brings to the sessions.

Classes are held six times a week in the Yoga Barn, a converted Edwardian barn set in an orchard with stunning views over Port Meadow to the spires of Oxford. This warm, comfortable, and private space provides a lovely atmosphere for practising yoga. It is conveniently located within easy reach of Oxford, Kidlington, Witney, Wheatley, Botley, Long Hanborough, and Bicester, with ample parking available within a 2-minute walk of the barn.

For those unable to attend the live classes, Yoga with Robin Lipsey also offers a live-streaming option. This allows students to participate in the classes from the comfort of their own homes, ensuring accessibility for all. The live classes in the Yoga Barn have a maximum capacity of 10 students, while the online classes are limited to six participants to ensure clear visibility on the instructor's big screen. The online classes are delivered via the Zoom platform.

In addition to regular weekly classes, Yoga with Robin Lipsey also offers an audio programme called “Yoga for Busy People. ” This comprehensive practise programme is divided into time frames that suit busy individuals, allowing them to incorporate yoga into their daily routines.

Whether you are a beginner or have previous yoga experience, Robin is skilled at integrating students of all levels into mixed ability classes. Beginners are especially welcome, as Robin ensures that they feel comfortable and can enjoy the postures and exercises, benefiting from them right away.

Additionally, Yoga with Robin Lipsey encourages male students to join. While the majority of yoga students are women, Robin's classes have a healthy sprinkling of men. Male students over the age of 50, or those who may feel over 50, and beginners who may consider themselves rather stiff are encouraged to reach out. Yoga can offer them significant benefits, and Robin ensures that they feel supported, comfortable, and can fully enjoy and benefit from the sessions.
