With the shortest day nearly upon us, our last Pranayama class of 2025 will spread warmth and light, rejuvenating and quietening at what can be a tiring time of year.

Join us this Sunday to practise the yogic art of breathing and leave feeling renewed and ready for a restful night's sleep.

Are you winding down or gearing up for the festivities? 🎄

January is always a busy time at HYC, with course launches and our annual Open Day, so we have plenty to keep you updated on ahead of the holidays.

We will be taking a break from our regular timetable, but Jenny-May's special Holiday Classes are running over the evenings of 28, 29, 30 December (6 - 7.30 pm) and will be a great way to keep you moving over the festive week.

These are our dates for the next few weeks. Pranayama will also return in the new year on 11 January, and we have so many more courses and workshops scheduled, including Christian Pisano and Jayne Orton in the Spring, we can fill your 2026 with yoga!

If you'd like to stay updated, we'd love to keep in touch! You can sign up for our newsletter (linked below), and we'll deliver all of our latest events and workshops directly to your inbox.

The giving and receiving of gifts is an integral part of being human, as well as a central aspect of our cultures and traditions.

It’s sad when this important and sacred ritual becomes commercialised for the profit of large corporations and a few wealthy elite. At HYC we’re offering the chance for you to give with conscience.

Our vouchers, online courses, retreats and equipment will help your loved one to pursue what is really important- health, balance and freedom. In addition, you know that your gift is not detrimental to our precious planet and supports a small local social enterprise to continue their mission of bringing the benefits of yoga to the whole community. What’s not to love?!

Happy 1st December!

What happens when the mats are away…. Last night, with our folding tables and ample space, the studio was transformed into a wreath-making workshop!

A festive example of what the HYC studio can be used for - did you know it’s available for hire? With availability around our class timetable and existing appointments, the studio is the perfect space for ad hoc or regular community group events, workshops and meetings.

The kitchen, included in the hire, was put to excellent use yesterday with warm spiced apple juice and mulled wine on the stove!

Please get in touch with us if you'd like further information about either our studio or therapy room hire. Our therapy room has recently undergone an upgrade with additional soundproofing, making it an ideal space for consultations, treatments and therapy sessions.

As for the wreaths - they'll be spreading joy in the local community. There were some absolute stunners, do keep an eye out for them!

How can we align our practice with the natural cycles of the year and seasonal changes? In this workshop we'll develop 4 short sequences for you to take away and practise as the year turns. We'll discuss how 'alignment' can be experienced in relation to environment, situation, relationships, body, breath and mind.

For some of people, it can still feel awkward or annoying to be told to adapt a pose if we're menstruating. And that's OK, but it's important to know why your teacher is asking - it's never to shame or embarrass anyone!

Integral to the Iyengar method is adapting to the needs of the individual student and making necessary adjustments, and the cyclical nature of women's hormones is an important factor to consider.

Earlier in the month we were lucky enough to host the renowned advocate for Women's Health and Iyengar yoga teacher, Bobby Clennell . When asked about adapting yoga practice for menstruation, she has highlighted the need to acknowledge our cyclical nature in order not to deplete ourselves. You can read more about what she has to say below:
https://bobbyclennell.wordpress.com/tag/womens-yoga/

This weekend sees Jenny-May's first workshop in our 3-part series on Women's Health. The focus will be on menstruation , where we will discuss real-life symptoms and the day-to-day joys and challenges of femaleness.

The workshops suit anyone with about 6 months of Iyengar yoga experience or other yoga styles, including teachers of yoga. Our goal is to empower our community to thrive, not just to survive. We hope you're able to join!

Yes- why on earth isn’t menstrual blood tested and used systematically as a diagnostic tool?! This is a great article. Some women pioneering brilliant work in a hostile environment.

Period blood has long been thought of as ‘stinky and useless’, but startups are exploring using the fluid to test for a wide range of health conditions – including difficult-to-diagnose endometriosis
