Due to EXTREME levels of cuteness (and demand) we’re popping more Mum & Baby classes on the schedule!
We’re delighted that so many of you are enjoying these gorgeous, nurturing sessions with Jo. Owing to their popularity, we’re adding a second weekly session to our timetable, starting from 9th January!
Our friendly Mum and Baby classes provide you with the opportunity to gently strengthen the body from the inside out. But that’s just the start! These sessions are designed to give you -
➡ The chance to bond with your baby, and support their development.
➡ Learn tools to destress and regulate your nervous system
➡ And build your village as you meet other mums and their babies!
Thank you for sharing these wonderful classes with us, we can’t wait to welcome more of you!
See you on the (yoga / nappy) mat soon.

✨ Our story. Our why. ✨
At Yoga Reading, we don’t believe you need to be flexible, fit, or “good at yoga” to belong.
You just have to show up.
Yoga Reading was born from real life — from burnout, change, exhaustion, and the deep need to breathe again.
From the understanding that movement isn’t about pushing harder or performing better… it’s about healing, resilience, and learning how to feel good in your body again.
Our classes are shaped by:
💚real conversations
💚 real people
💚 real science
💚 real results
We don’t chase trends.
We listen. We adapt. We teach what actually works.
Whether you’re here for strength, stillness, nervous system support, or simply a moment to land — there is space for you on the mat.
No judgement. No pressure. Just intelligent, compassionate movement guided by teachers who genuinely care.
You don’t need to be ready.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to begin.
🎥 Watch our video captured by the amazing Suraj Dhaliwal .shots .shots.media and discover why movement truly is medicine.
🧘♀️ Come as you are — we’ll meet you there.
Book classes via our website or get in touch with any questions. We are always happy to help you find the right movement for your goals.

We are Yoga Reading. We are Katia and Sophie and Yoga Reading has grown out of our friendship and our total belief in the fact that movement makes you feel better. Every. Single. Time.
As we’ve built Yoga Reading, this belief has been moulded and elevated through our understanding that movement needs to be tailored to your body and your needs – which, guess what, change over time. What we need now in our 40’s is different from what we needed in our 20’s and we know this will continue to change. The skills we have built over the last ten years or so have equipped us with the knowledge of how to support our body’s to be strong and, most importantly, to improve our level of comfort. And this is what we want to share with the Yoga Reading community.
We want to provide the BEST quality teaching and information so that everyone can find the tools and techniques they need to support their busy lives and feel comfortable and strong in their bodies.
We have built a team of teachers to work with us to make sure that there’s a practice on our schedule for everyone. Between us we are skilled in yoga, meditation, injury prevention and reduction, rehabilitation, strength training, anxiety management, standing on your head and being able to sit very still!
Basically we have a lot of knowledge on what you can do to feel strong, find a sense of calm and manage the overwhelm of your busy week.
We know what it’s like to be juggling work, family, relationships and general external pressures (oh you know like a global pandemic?!). It’s easy for your health and self-care practices to drop by the wayside.
By joining the Yoga Reading community you are gaining access to best quality movement and mindfulness expertise and connecting with a warm community of teachers and students.
We really hope to see you in the studio or virtually soon!
