New to Yoga?
Welcome to Yoga Jo’s
Yoga isn’t about perfect poses. It’s about finding a steady, comfortable state of being — a place of balance in both body and mind.
Our classes combine movement, breathwork, meditation and mindfulness to help you arrive there. In our calm, dedicated studio, supported by highly trained teachers, you’ll find the ideal environment to learn, practise and grow.
Yoga is for everyone, and we specialise in making it as accessible as possible.
The info below will help you navigate your first visit to the studio if you are new to yoga. Please read through to the end. If you have any questions at all, feel free to email Jo at jolockhart.yoga@gmail.com.

Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga is a dynamic and structured style of yoga that links breath with a set sequence of postures. It builds strength, flexibility and focus through flowing movement (vinyasa). So if you like dynamic movement this might be the style for you:
It is taught in two ways:
Led Classes – the teacher guides the full sequence.
Mysore Practice – a self-paced practice with individual guidance from the teacher.
