It is a simple and natural process that helps you bring mind and body to a state of restful alertness. I have found it immeasurably helpful in managing my energy levels and general health regular meditation is a great way to switch between work and the rest of your life. I have no doubt that TM can be great for anyone in business as a means of helping them manage the every day pressures and demands of business and reminding them that they have a life outside of it! I can't recommend Angela and William highly enough

Over the last couple of years, I've visited the centre fairly regularly. My bestie was very into Buddhism for a while so i often went to Meditation sessions with him - now I just pop in now and again for a bit of me time. The centre is fully staffed with volunteers and students, and there's always something going on - their website will give you a full run down of classes and different types of meditation sessions, including prices. There's also a book shop part, and a free (but leave a donation if you wish) tea/biscuits chillout area. A great addition to the heart of Merchant City.

I use to do yoga many years ago and now, have restarted again, going for classes twice a week…read moreregularly, for hot yoga and Hatha vinyasa. Before yoga, I could feel my body weakening and becoming lazier by the day. I'm glad that I decided to sign up for classes again and have someone like Pol as my instructor! He's very attentive to all of his students, even if there are many of us in one session. He pushes us to try and go beyond our limits ("through pain and suffering, always smile!" as he says). I also like that the classes are quite intense so not only do you train your flexibility, but you also push your cardio and work the strength of muscles that you didn't know existed. My weaker parts of the body, the core (stomach and back) have improved so much in terms of strength, and my upper body (lungs, arms and shoulders) have also shown very positive changes! After 3 continuous months of practice, I can easily do the head stand and am in the process of getting the hand stand and the crow pose (which are not easy to do, I kid you not). I've also improved on my breathing (expansion of lung capacity) and overall focus technique (through meditation practices with Pol). If ever anyone wants to keep fit and try to challenge their body beyond its limits, I highly HIGHLY recommend yoga, and to be a student under an instructor like Pol would be a gift!

I was very pleased with this yelp #1 top reviewed spot. And it was very close to where I was staying. I was fortunate to be taught by Russell. He studied in Mysore, India and had a very graceful and informative teaching style. Also his Scottish accent added a nice touch to taking class. I heard from other folks there that Pol is also amazing. And the fellow practitioners all seemed very dedicated and at various levels.! The studio had a very nice selection of classes throughout the week. For beginners and even hot yoga enthusiasts. They even have classes designed for pregnant women. Brilliant!
