Emotional Wellbeing
Yoga offers space to slow down and gently process how you’re feeling. Through breath, movement and stillness, it can help you release tension and soften what feels heavy.
Inner Calm
Regular practice can help quiet a busy mind, bringing a sense of steadiness and calm - especially during times when life feels overwhelming.
Reconnect with Yourself
Yoga creates space to turn inward, helping you feel more connected to your body, your breath and what you need in each moment.
Gentle Strength and Support
Slow, mindful movement helps to build strength in a way that feels supportive rather than intense, improving stability and confidence in your body over time.
Ease Stiffness and Improve Mobility
Gentle stretching and longer-held poses can help release tightness, support joint health and improve overall mobility.
Rest and Reset
In a world that moves quickly, yoga offers a chance to pause. To rest deeply, restore your energy and give your body the time it needs to reset.
Where Classes Are Held
Most classes take place at Holistic House, 18 Otley Street, Skipton BD23 1DZ, a calm, welcoming space a short walk from the centre of town. Slow flow also runs on Wednesday evenings at Cononley Village Institute, Main Street, Cononley. Please bring your own mat for that one.
At Holistic House everything you need is provided: mats, blocks, bolsters, blankets and eye pillows. Wear something comfortable to move in, and you might like to bring a bottle of water and a warm layer for the final relaxation.
It helps to arrive five or ten minutes before the start so you can settle in without rushing. If it’s your first time and you’d like to know anything about the space beforehand, just get in touch and Victoria will talk you through it.
