A short drive from Leamington Spa, with somewhere to park when you arrive
Yoga Classes Near Leamington Spa
We are not in Leamington, we are in Warwick, about ten minutes down the Myton Road, and each week a good number of the people on our mats make that short drive over to practise with us.
They come for the same few things: small classes where the teacher knows your name, somewhere to leave the car without circling the town, and a quiet first floor room in one of Warwick's oldest bank buildings rather than a unit on a busy high street.
Getting Here From Leamington Spa
The drive takes around ten minutes outside rush hour, and closer to fifteen when the roads are busier, following the Myton Road or the A425 straight into Warwick High Street.
The journey, in short
Four miles, one straightforward road, and somewhere to leave the car when you arrive.
Ten minutes
Around ten minutes outside rush hour, and closer to fifteen when the roads are busier.
One road
Follow the Myton Road or the A425 and it takes you straight into Warwick High Street.
Parking on the door
Parking along the High Street, with the Market Square car park just two minutes from our door.
You will find us at 5 to 7 High Street, on the first floor, through the door beside Nashwhite. There is parking along the High Street and in the Market Square car park just two minutes away, which for many people is the quiet luxury that makes the journey worth making.
If you would rather leave the car at home, the X17 and the 68 both stop within a few minutes' walk, and our evening classes are timed with the journey home in mind.
Which Classes Suit the Drive From Leamington
If you are coming straight from work, our evening classes tend to be the easiest to build a week around. If your days are a little more flexible, the weekday 09.30 slot is quieter and gentler still, and it is included in the off peak membership at £75 a month.
Most people travelling over settle into one regular class rather than trying to come three times a week. One hour, the same evening, the same teacher, is far kinder to keep up than a timetable that needs planning around.
What Makes the Journey Worth It
Leamington has more studios than Warwick, so it is worth being honest about why people choose to travel the other way.
Our classes are small, which means you are never a face at the back of a hall of forty, and the teaching leans gently towards the nervous system end of yoga: more rest, more breath, and far less performance. The room itself helps too, full of daylight from the big windows, quiet above the shop rather than beside a road, and held with a warmth and spaciousness that is difficult to find in a larger space.
-
Yin Yoga encourages deep rest by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Through stillness and supported postures, the practice helps calm stress responses and promotes a sense of safety and balance in the body.
-
Longer-held poses gently target connective tissues, supporting joint health, mobility, and functional flexibility without force or strain.
-
With fewer transitions and more time to settle, Yin Yoga offers space to observe the breath, quiet the mind, and cultivate present-moment awareness.
-
By slowing the pace and reducing sensory input, Yin Yoga helps release held tension and supports emotional wellbeing, making it especially beneficial during periods of stress or fatigue.
-
Yin Yoga is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Postures are adapted with props and options, allowing the practice to remain inclusive, safe, and deeply restorative.
The Classes We Run Through the Week
There are eight styles on the timetable across the week, all held in the same room, with mats, blocks, bolsters and straps provided. There is nothing to buy and nothing to carry up the stairs but yourself and some water.
If you are new to yoga, or returning after time away, Beginners and Slow Flow are the gentlest places to start. Neither assumes any prior experience, and both are built to help you find your feet without any sense of being behind.
A typical week includes
Flow and Slow Flow, rhythmic and music led, beginner friendly, with options to soften or scale as you go
Yin and Restorative, floor based and quiet, with long held, fully supported postures that invite the body to release
Beginners, which starts from the very beginning with warmth, patience and no sense of ceremony
Sound baths and breathwork, which run as separate sessions through the month and ask nothing of you but to lie down and listen
The current week is always on the schedule page, and class packs and memberships are there whenever you feel ready to come more regularly.
The drive is the easy part. It is leaving the house that takes the practice, and that is true wherever you choose to unroll your mat.

What to Expect on Your First Visit
Expect a calm, unhurried room above the High Street, with daylight pouring in through the big windows and very little of the noise from the street below finding its way up to you.
Arrive five or ten minutes early if you can, so the drive has a chance to settle before class begins. Mats, bolsters, blocks and blankets are all here waiting for you, and your teacher will help you find the setup that suits your body on the day.
Your first class is £5, offered so that a first visit costs you almost nothing should it turn out not to be for you. After that it is £15 to drop in, £13 a class on a pack, or between £75 and £100 a month on a membership.
-
As you arrive on your mat, class begins with gentle breath awareness and grounding cues to help you settle into your body. This opening phase supports the nervous system in slowing down, easing mental noise, and creating a sense of safety before moving into stillness.
-
Postures are introduced slowly and held for longer periods, allowing time to explore sensation and alignment without force. Teachers offer clear guidance and options, encouraging curiosity and awareness rather than striving or effort.
-
Yin Yoga works with connective tissues and joints through sustained shapes, helping to support mobility, flexibility, and embodied awareness. Attention is placed on how each posture feels, rather than how it looks.
-
Every class includes extended rest, giving the body and nervous system time to absorb the practice. This closing phase supports deep relaxation, leaving you feeling grounded, balanced, and quietly renewed.

Not at the moment. Everything happens in our one studio on Warwick High Street, which is simply close enough that a good number of our regulars make the short drive over each week.
-
Beginners or Slow Flow would be the gentlest place to start. Both are built for people finding their feet, and everything you need is here waiting for you, so there is nothing to buy before you come.
