Mixed ability Hatha yoga class every Friday from 6pm until 7:30pm

Hatha yoga combines yoga postures with breathing and meditation.  The class is designed to improve strength and flexibility, and the meditation followed by a final relaxation helps to relax the mind. People say it is a challenging class, but they keep coming back for more.

I love Dave's Yoga classes, they really help me to deal with stress and anxiety. Always informative and funny, a great way to end the week. I really look forward to the classes, not sure how I have managed without my weekly yoga fix!

Nicky L, 

Dave always finds the perfect mix of movements as well as meditation so by the end you walk out taller, stronger and relaxed. Magic and done with humour and kindness

Andrea Nolan

I've been doing Dave's Friday Night Yoga for over 5 years now and I find them a great way to end the week and start the weekend. Dave combines expert instruction with a warm and friendly approach and a relaxed sense of humour. Definitely recommended.

I’ve been going to Dave’s yoga session for quite a few years now, it’s helped a lot with my flexibility and core strength, which compliments my running and cycling 
Going to Dave’s class is always enjoyable and you feel so much better after the session ( especially the relaxation) at the end.
Can’t wait till the sessions start again in September 👌🏻🤩

Kath Sheldrick

Dave  is a great instructor who takes care to build up each class member's capability and confidence with the foundations of the asanas. Everyone appreciates Dave's sense of humour too.

Russell Moran

Hi ,Dave's class was relaxed and diverse .As a complete beginner I felt at ease as we began and as the class progressed i felt involved and guided ,As we meditated at the end of the session I found myself realizing that i was both completely relaxed and every part of my body had been pulled and pushed and now felt strong and light and completely wiped out but in a good way  Feeling great ,cant wait until next week.

Stuart  Pyke 

Being a newbie to yoga it was great to be in the relaxed friendly class. Whilst it was hard work at times (for me anyway) David's  encouraging and down to earth approach was really helpful. I have already booked my next class.

Jo Blackham

I’m new to yoga but wanted to try to build some strength as well as improve my general wellbeing.  I was made to feel very welcome and the class is suitable for a mix of abilities with really clear instruction. 
I love the meditation at the end of the session and it’s such a great way to end the week and start the weekend! 

MARY ROBERTS

I already attend a Hatha Yoga class every week but wanted to add another one. I found David's class more challenging but  he also shows alternatives and comes amongst the class to show the poses. The class is relaxed and friendly, great way to end the week or start the weekend. Loved It!

Yikes, how to describe David's yoga classes..... hmmmm...... an intriguing combination of yoga and comedy: reverential yet hilarious. Not sure that should work but it does :) Certainly a unique Friday night.   Accessible for beginners to more advanced.  

Philippa Millard

Loved it - friendly and healthy and relaxing!

Linda Fordham

I moved to the area in May and wanted to continue my yoga practice. I found Bendyoga and have been attending the Friday class.  The classes can sometimes be challenging, never boring and always with a dose of humour. Friday class is ideal for those who have been attending a yoga class previously.

This is a Hatha yoga, breathwork and relaxation session which is suitable for beginners and experienced yogi's alike.  

The session will start with some gentle yoga exercises to warm up the body.  This will be followed by breathwork (pranayama) followed by a simple mindfulness meditation.  

There will be a break halfway through with refreshments, biscuits and cake. Let me know if you have any dietary requirements.

Finally - yoga nidra.  This is also known as yogic sleep and is a guided meditation which is done lying down in savasana.  It creates a deep sense of relaxation in both the body and the mind which leads to s state of relaxed awareness.

Lynsey Thomas

Loved the Yoga and Mediation class on Saturday. I left feeling very chilled and happy. Just what I needed. Loved the Shamanic Meditation, it really takes you somewhere else and gives a wonderful sense of peace. 2hrs 30mins seems like a long session, but time really passes so quickly. I would definitely go to the next session and highly recommend it to anyone :-) Thank you Dave!

Millie Sarin

The Hatha Yoga, Breathwork and Meditation event was an amazing experience for me leaving me with a deep sense of relaxation and inner peace. It provided a much-needed break from the daily grind, and I left feeling not only physically rejuvenated but also mentally and emotionally recharged. I would highly recommend attending such a retreat to anyone looking to escape the stress of daily life and connect with their inner self in a serene and supportive environment.  David is a fantastic instructor and I am looking forward to the next one.

David is an amazing instructor, his classes are different from others that I've attended. I always leave each session with a calm mind and his personality  always puts a smile on my face.

Dave's Thursday sessions have been life-changing for me so far. As someone who has struggled in establishing the habit of practicing Yoga, these classes have been a perfect aid to that intent. My health and sleep have improved since joining, as well as my flexibility and groundedness. I look forward to more sessions. Dave is vigilant and helpful in all regards; if there is any struggle, he picks up on it and helps immediately. He keeps the sessions sincere but light-hearted with his knowledge and humour, too. Thank you, Dave!

Welcome to this free introduction to Yoga for Backs.

There are 10 short videos in this introduction. It is recommended to schedule some time each day to go through these, they take between 5-10 minutes.

The first video is a 10 minute introduction to the course, and in each of the other videos I show a number of yoga postures to help ease back pain as well as developing core strength and flexibility.

There is also a daily relaxation which takes less than 15 minutes.

Topics I’ll be covering include:
- Yoga techniques to help relieve bad back episodes
- Exercises to improve strength and flexibility (you don’t have to be bendy to do yoga, this comes over time)
- Relaxation techniques for stress relief

The goal of this programme is to help you to find a way to control your back pain and lead a normal life.

Hatha Yoga - Thursday 6:30pm

I enjoyed an hour's yoga with David yesterday. David always switches activities to give us different experiences never losing his great sense of humour. I can confidently recommend yoga as a great release from modern pressures. It also helps my golf game. 

Freed Greaves

Spent a very pleasant hour yesterday evening (Thurs 15.5.25) with Dave and a few others.  Dave, very friendly yet professional hosted the session which I enjoyed and found very beneficial. Dave's sense of humour helps the feel of the group. I'm sure these sessions help my golf and I look forward to attending sessions in future. Keep up the good work Dave

David AKA Yoga Dave – look at him, a man in control of his own yoga mat.

David has been practising yoga and meditation for 20 years and teaching for the past 8 years. When he first started he had tight hamstrings, lower back issues and was stressed, looking for a way to relax. Yoga really helped him in all these areas. 

“David's philosophy is simple – stretch and strengthen the body, and relax the mind.”
