This place is not your usual spa; it's like a little pocket of India on a trading estate in…read moreYorkshire. There is one Ayurvedic physician and a small team of therapists, but they offer a very comprehensive menu of avurvedic treatments at reasonable cost. There are also yoga and meditation classes, taught by the doctor. If you go for a day spa, you get a delicious vegetarian lunch thrown in. The ayurvedic massage is unlike any other massage you will have had, and involves a lot of warm scented oil being poured on to you (you can shower afterwards.) It's a good way to try out ayurvedic treatment without having to fly to India or spend a fortune. And they are very good people.

I started seeing Dr Swapna over a year ago when preparing for running my first marathon and I was…read moresuffering from tight muscles which were causing pain in my feet. Dr Swapna warned me that the massage she would give me may hurt a bit to start with but it wasnt meant to be one of those soft aroma massages! It did hurt - but in a good way and the next day it was like walking on air! Since then I have been a regular and Dr Swapna is both highly professional and incredibly friendly - I look forward to my sessions not just because my legs feel a million times better but my heart feels a little bit lighter too! Without Dr Swapna I would have struggled to reach my running goals. I would recommend Green Ayurveda Spa to anyone who needs something more than just your standard spa!

The beauty of The Yoga Lounge is that they are offering something slightly different from bikram…read moreyoga - as the classes don't follow the traditional 26 poses. I feel as though classes are lot more organic, allowing the teachers to really work with the class - I swear I'm making progress already in my first two weeks! The teachers are really great, I love the variety, as each practitioner has their own flows and style of teaching. Everyone is super friendly and happy to give tips and advice after classes too. Specialising in hot yoga, the classes last between 60-75 minutes and at the moment they have three classes per day with two a day at the weekends. They also offer hot pilates, which is a great workout for your core. And plan to open a full pilates studio in the next month or so with Stott pilates, reformer and GYROTONIC® classes. It's a great set up, really well designed space and the hot room itself is a nifty piece of kit - using heat panels on the roof that allows for continual fresh air and a germ free environment to practice in (or I've been told it's something along these lines). There's an online booking system to ensure you get onto the class you want. The evening practices book up pretty quickly, but the lunchtime hour always has a few free spaces. Each class has a waiting list and for every wait list I have been on so far, I've been offered a space in the class. This is a more modern yoga alternative that fits really easily into a busy lifestyle, uniquely balanced to help improve both your fitness and inner calm.

I've never done any kind of yoga before coming to The Yoga Lounge. When you first walk in you…read moreimmediately know you're in a great space for learning how to connect mind, body and spirit. You can tell they've spared no cost, everything is top quality- the radiant heat panels, the studios, the changing rooms... A wonderful atmosphere and the teachers are warm and friendly, so even the newest yogi won't feel intimidated. I was looking for something to fit in with my life in recovery. As an ex-addict following a 12 step programme, spirituality and meditation are fundamental to my life, as well as keeping some kind of balance which is hard in 'normal life'. I struggle to concentrate in normal meditation, and find the self discipline. My first four weeks attending The Yoga Lounge have had a massively positive impact on my life and my mental well being. I've found my place and my thing in life here. The teachers are great, all with their own style and pace, and every week I've felt an improvement in my yoga though their amazing guidance in classes. Everybody needs to try this. I hope to progress and commit to yoga now, and couldn't think of anywhere better.

So far I've had a go at Restorative Yoga, which was fantastic and really good at helping me feel better about some stressy stuff that I've got going on, and I'm giving Yoga Flow a bash tonight, as my friend recommended it to me and said I'd love it. The studio itself is great a really airy, light attic space, with all the mats and equipment provided. Check out their site for prices and times and also watch out for deals on Living Social!
