Ashbrooke Yoga
Term-time Iyengar yoga classes in Sunderland led by a qualified Iyengar yoga teacher, with beginners and general classes plus gentle chair yoga, qi gong and meditation.
About Ashbrooke Yoga
Ashbrooke Yoga is run by a qualified Iyengar yoga teacher registered with the Iyengar Yoga Association, who is also a qualified qi gong teacher and meditation tutor. Iyengar yoga focuses on careful alignment and uses props such as blocks, belts and chairs, which makes it accessible for beginners and for people working around stiffness or old injuries.
Classes run in term time at two community venues. A beginners class meets on Tuesday evenings in the community room at Tesco on Newcastle Road, and a general class meets on Thursday evenings at St Michael's Community Centre on Stannington Grove, finishing with guided meditation. There is also a gentle restorative chair yoga, qi gong and mindfulness session. The autumn 2026 term began in the week of 14 September, and current days, times and booking details are on the website.
