Leeds, West Yorkshire LS7 2JF
The Yoga Space was founded by teacher Nichi Green in 2004. She believes that yoga has the power to both physically and spiritually heal. Already a practicing teacher in Leeds, she opened the dedicated space as a natural progression, providing a centre and building a community for her students.
A Beautiful and Plentiful Space
The studio is based in an old chapel with high ceilings, gorgeous hardwood flooring and lots of beautiful natural light. Drop ins are encouraged as the space is big enough to meet with demand so there’s always a space for your mat and no one needs to feel crammed in. The studio is currently closed with all classes streaming on Zoom.
The Yoga Space has ten teachers on its timetable, some of whom come from a dance or movement background. The studio also offers massage therapies.
Workshops and Retreats
The Yoga Space runs frequent workshops from Yamuna Body Rolling to yoga Nidra and sound healing. They also run a retreat to Runswick Bay in North Yorkshire where your practice is complemented with meditation, massage and walks in the stunning outdoors. Plus there’s nutritious vegetarian meals and according to online reviews, plenty of tea and delicious cake.
