Don’t forget, our workshop Mindful Backbending: A heart opening practice with Raili Maripuu, is coming soon!

Backbending is about more than just suppleness. It requires a combination of strength, stamina and flexibility. Beyond the physicality, this practice can also be demanding emotionally - opening the chest often feels vulnerable - and that’s where we come in. This nurturing session will help you approach backbends with patience and self-compassion, allowing you to feel safe, confident and supported as you explore this powerful movement sequence.

This workshop will cover:
✨ Back bending using a combination of primary and intermediate series from the ✨ Ashtanga yoga sequence.
✨ How to strengthen the back muscles and abdominals.
✨ How to create space in the front body, through the ribcage.
✨ Techniques to help you stay in those ‘difficult’ places and work through them.

Unexpected perk of pregnancy? Being told to do yoga of course!

Let’s be honest, the unsolicited advice comes thick and fast when you announce you’re expecting. But there is one recommendation we can definitely all get behind, and that’s pregnancy yoga.

At Yoga Reading we know movement is powerful at every stage of life, including (and perhaps especially) during pregnancy. Our brilliant pregnancy yoga teacher and trained doula Jo, creates sessions that are accessible, nurturing and empowering. From those early days of your first trimester, right through to your due date, our classes offer you the chance to move, breathe, connect with your baby and meet other mums-to-be.

Never tried yoga before? It doesn’t matter!

Whether you’ve been practicing for years, or have never stepped foot on a mat, we’ll meet you exactly where you are, helping to prepare mind and body as it changes and grows through this season.

Our next Pregnancy Yoga course starts on 11th April, so we look forward to seeing you and your bump on the mat soon!

⭐ Back on the Mat with Lucy Crawford ⭐

We’re thrilled to be welcoming the brilliant Lucy Crawford back to Yoga Reading with her unique and innovative offering Lucy Crawford Ashtanga Weekend: From Inside to Out.

With over thirty years experience, Lucy brings a wealth of knowledge and creativity to her teaching. Focussing on intuition and conscious connection to the body, Lucy nurtures a slow, sensory approach to your Ashtanga practice. This isn’t about wrestling your body into shapes, this is about movement that starts with breath and internal support - quite literally yoga from the inside out!

What to expect
This weekend is guaranteed to be creative, curious, and refreshingly down-to-earth. Through practical workshops Lucy will cover:
⭐ Breath as a foundation - finding steadiness, and internal space
⭐ Tristana made simple - Breath, Bandha, Drishti as an integrated practice (not separate “things to do”)
⭐ Neck + head positioning — sensing the throat/inner tissues for alignment
⭐ Inside-out movement pathways — letting the organs and deeper tissues initiate movement, and letting flesh/skin follow
⭐ Spaces are limited to ensure intimate class sizes, so book now to avoid disappointment.

We’re delighted to offer a discounted EARLY BIRD PRICE until the end of April - so what are you waiting for? Reserve your space today, we can’t wait to see you on the mat!

Our Story

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!
