Friday Morning Yoga in Clifton
Every Friday, 9.30–10.45 (75 minutes) at All Saints Church Hall, Clifton
A weekly mixed ability yoga class which guides you through a series of practices aiming to restore body, mind and breath.
My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can practice yoga in a way that suits you. Classes are taught with a focus on modifying up, offering variations or using props and encouraging you to listen to your body so that you can choose what works.
What to Expect from My Mixed-Ability Classes
-
Begin with a few minutes of centring to shift your focus inward and prepare for the practice.
-
Simple stretches and flows to connect breath with movement and ease tension to prepare your body, breath and mind for the session ahead.
-
Explore yoga poses with options and props to support injuries, conditions, or different needs, ensuring a safe and accessible practice for all.
-
Practice breathing techniques to calm your mind, deepen your breath, enhance focus and direct prana (life force energy) around the body.
-
Enjoy guided moments of relaxation techniques to release tension and reset both body and mind.
-
All classes end with yoga nidra (yogic sleep), a deeply relaxing guided meditation usually practiced lying down, with voice, koshi chimes and moments of silence designed to leave you feeling restored and rejuvenated.
"As someone who hasn’t practiced yoga in a very long time I found all the adjustments Rhiannon suggested really helpful. It’s a safe and judgement free zone - I think ideal for beginners. But she also offers advanced additions to poses so this class is also great for those who are regular yoga class goers too!"
— Sian“The teaching was excellent. You could clearly see the positions you needed to be in. Help was given if needed. You could work at your own level.”
— Caroline

To me, yoga is as diverse as its practitioners, each of whom brings their own unique approach to the practice.
It is an ancient discipline of physical, mental and philosophical practices which originated in South Asia - the word “yoga” is a Sanskrit word (classical language) that translates as ‘unite’ - with the aim of unifying the mind and body with our inner and outer worlds.
On a physical level, yoga practice encompasses asana (body postures), pranayama (breath control) and dhyana (meditation) each offering many benefits. Asana strengthens muscles, improves stamina, increases flexibility and helps to release tension. Pranayama, breathing practices and meditation can be effective in reducing stress or anxiety and promote a sense of balance and calm. Yoga nidra (yogic sleep), an accessible horizontal meditation which hovers on the edge of sleep and wakefulness, is deeply healing and restorative.
Yoga also invites us to explore how we relate to ourselves and those around us through the yamas (restraints) and niyamas (observances). These principles serve as an ethical foundation for living, such as the first yama, ahimsa (non-violence), which encourages compassion and the avoidance of harm in our thoughts, words, and actions.
People come to yoga for many different reasons, and there’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to approach it. Some are drawn to the physical practice, others to pranayama or meditation, and many enjoy a combination of these elements. The best way to understand what yoga can offer is to give it a try and let your practice unfold naturally.

If it’s your first class, you’re welcome to borrow a mat and props before deciding whether to invest in your own equipment.
Otherwise, please bring along:
A yoga mat
Yoga props you might want to use, such as blocks, bricks, a bolster, or a strap (a dressing gown belt works well too!)
Optional: A blanket for extra padding or cosiness during relaxation
Comfortable clothing that allows easy movement
A bottle of water
Having your own yoga kit is recommended for hygiene reasons if you attend classes regularly. However, if purchasing your own equipment isn’t possible for any reason, I’m happy to discuss options for a longer-term arrangement.

It is important that the classes are accessible and inclusive. If you have access requirements, for example a health condition, injury, hearing problem or preferred communication style, I am committed to working with you and will do what I can to accommodate any access requests. If you have any questions about accessibility, please feel welcome to contact me to discuss further.
Practices are taught by ‘modifying up’ so you can choose the option that feels suitable for you. Everything is invitational.
