Yoga Reading

Come for the Yoga, stay for the Community!

What starts as an hour on the mat can often become so much more.

We all begin yoga for different reasons. You may have walked through the door looking for movement, or wanting to improve flexibility, or craving a moment of peace.

The joy of small, independant studios like ours is that we also offer a little something extra. On top of all of those things, we can give you connection.

Conversations before class, encouragement, shared growth and laughter - this is the magic of community.

At Yoga Reading we love offering events that nurture and grow our relationships.
From the simple joy of a post practice herbal tea, to large charity fund raisers. From beautiful retreats, to studio socials - yoga begins on the mat, but extends far
beyond it.

And everyone is always welcome!

Sound baths aren't just a blissful sensory experience, they're a healing practice.

In a busy and stressful world, these sessions can help the mind and body pause, recharge and release.

Allowing yourself to be still in a peaceful environment without screens or constant stimulation can itself be restorative. Add repetitive, soothing sound and slow vibrations and tones, and you'll feel the shift in your nervous system.

Don't believe us? Try it for yourself (you can thank us later)!
