New to namas yoga?
Newcomers are always welcome at classes ✨
​
I completely understand that coming to your first Yoga class can feel a little nerve-racking, but everyone here is friendly, supportive and there’s never any pressure to “keep up.”
​
If you’re new to Yoga - or simply haven’t been on the mat for a while - I recommend starting with a Foundation Flow class.
​​
I also run women-only classes for those who feel more comfortable practising in a female-only space. These classes are warm, supportive, and centred around helping you build confidence at your own pace.​

Testimonials
'Thank you so much for all your help and guidance, it's great to see some progress after never doing Yoga before. I enjoy your classes so much and would recommend them to anyone.'
- Kirstyn Short
'​Thanks Nam. I really enjoyed my first lesson ever of yoga as I was a bit nervous about what I’d go through.
Throughout the session it made me realise how tense my whole body was and how I need to loosen up and just release but I’ve never known how to do it.... I hope I can learn to understand myself and my body better through yoga.'
- Zareen J
'The class is always a mixture of fun, challenges and relaxation. Her instructions for each yoga pose are clear and precise but with the flexibility to go at your own pace and to move in your own way. She accepts everyone, no matter what stage they are at in their yoga practice'.
- Helen Taylor
'I have had the opportunity to practice with Nam in person, on-line and via her recordings and I can really recommend her teaching. I would say that I think she is the best yoga teacher I have ever encountered. She makes learning fun, even when she is tying you up in literal knots!
Her infectious enthusiasm comes through. Whilst she encourages you to stretch yourself her mantra is always to listen to your own body so don’t take things to far, and that you don’t have to be prefect. Where possible she offers alternatives to allow you to go at your own pace and in your own comfort zone. If you have any doubts have a go, you will not be disappointed.'
- Neil Bennet
'Her well planned classes seamlessly works through a variety of postures that suit all levels of ability from complete beginners to the more accomplished members of the class, who have been practicing yoga for some time.
Nam skillfully offers excellent technical advice and assistance, enabling everyone to safely gain the maximum benefit from any particular posture she asks us to hold'.
- Steve Johansen
'Nam makes yoga into an art form, it is beautiful to watch Nam and I feel so lucky to have found such an amazing yoga teacher.
​
The classes are progressive and I feel I'm getting a great workout but best of all if you go to the class feeling stressed or not in the right frame of mind you always leave feeling light, free and rejuvenated both in body and mind'.
