YogaJo's is a beautiful dedicated yoga studio in Milngavie that runs yoga classes for pretty much…read moreeveryone. I prefer the gentler styles of yoga like hatha and yin, but they also run astanga and flow classes for those who prefer faster paced classes. They also run classes for kids and teens - my niece goes every week and loves it. The studio is bright, clean and spacious with tea, coffee and sometimes even cake, but best of all is the welcoming atmosphere they generate. All the teachers and students are just so friendly and as a regular participant you begin to feel part of the community there rather than just a random visitor. As a result you begin to deepen your yoga practice not just through the classes, but through your interaction with your fellow students. For me, this is what a yoga studio should really be all about, rather than just somewhere to go and work out.

From the owner: Yoga classes for the whole community. At YogaJo's we have classes to suit all ages and abilities.read more

This homely and welcoming impression is furthered by the warm wine tones used for decoration. Meanwhile, inside the centre is comfortable, clean and inviting. The staff especially help make this centre approachable and inviting; particularly considering that some people may be slightly standoffish about these types of alternative medicine and/or treatments. As the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. This meant they took time to chat with my and a friend when we popped in out of curiosity (and a few enquires of the mother's). Leaving the centre, I felt comfortable and armed with much more information and ready to recommend this place further. While, it's not exactly my cup of tea, I can appreciate it and understand others enthusiasm towards it. So if you're at all interested, I'd recommend this particular centre for a nosey.

The Old Barn is located in what is quite possibly one of the best city parks between both…read morecoastlines, a soothing and calming space for healing arts such as yoga, meditation, and other alternative therapies. A few months back they started offering a new class on Sundays, and this alone has been motivation enough to make the drive into Glasgow. Classes are on a drop-in basis, which is practical for the schedule-challenged and commitment-phobes out there. Certainly there isn't a dearth of yoga studios and instructors around, however for me the space is just as important as the teacher, and the Old Barn lacks in neither atmospheric hospitality nor simplistic beauty - both of which have helped me ease into the stretches. I'm no pretzel, but doctor's orders have me engaging in the practice, and despite myself, I've actually come to like and even enjoy it. Part of this certainly has something to do with the open environment and warm people I've met thus far in the yoga world, and the crew at the Old Barn are certainly no exception - truly wonderful souls. I have a soft spot in my heart for all things barn-related, which is how we stumbled upon the location after a serendipitous conversation and follow-up round of google-ing. Oh you could take this barn-affinity in any manner of your choosing, but it's meant in a purely innocent one, very closely tied to frequent happy memories of being out in the country, oozing with fresh air seeping out the pores. Not even 10 minutes from the city center, the stone structure has been refurbished into a beautiful venue for freelance instructors to hire for their various art and healing courses. It's not just a stone-cold (pun-intended!) money making venture, the evidence of which includes the fact that they don't rent out the barn for private parties, weddings or corporate gigs. Instead they have dedicated the barn to promoting culture and bringing people together, giving teachers an affordable way to share their various arts. Whether for their yoga offerings or special events, or just to check out the space while visiting Pollok Country Park, do take a wee gander at the place. Even in the chilled winter months it has been a space of welcoming and inviting warmth (they've an old wood burning stove!). Certainly it's only going to get better as the spring begins to thaw everything and everyone out. One final blurb worth including here, taken directly from their website: "The downstairs of The Old Barn is home to the Scottish arm of the South African NGO, The Bookery. We collect second-hand books to help build libraries in disadvantaged schools in South Africa." "We are looking for donations of fiction and non-fiction books for age 5 through to 18. Adult books are also welcome - we sell all unsuitable books for £1/book to help pay for the shipping to South Africa. Please drop all donations off in The Old Barn. The door is always open."

Unfortunately Yoga bears was slightly different, it is a nice little studio in Glasgow where you can practise yoga and share what you know about it and your experiences.
