The village school

The body is not a problem to solve but a life to inhabit.

Sohma Yoga is a place of practice and gathering. Come for a class; stay for the village. Teachers, neighbours and the curious share what they know, in one room, all year round.

The studio by day: the mirror wall, sun falling across the timber floor, and a green shag rug with floor cushions.

Move

Yoga and movement classes.

  • Chair Yoga
