Wellness Space
A yoga and wellbeing studio at the North East BIC on Sunderland Enterprise Park, running weekly yoga, meditation and mindfulness classes, beginner courses, workshops and retreats.
About Wellness Space
Wellness Space was founded in 2018 by yoga teacher Claire Lormor and, after spells at Quay West and the Beacon of Light, moved to the North East Business and Innovation Centre on Sunderland Enterprise Park in early 2024. The studio has ground-floor access and visitor parking, and runs a weekly timetable that includes dynamic flow, beginner-friendly slow flow, yin yang and pregnancy-friendly classes, mostly in the evenings.
Daytime mamma and baby yoga runs in six-week blocks, and the studio also offers beginner courses, workshops, an on-demand video library and retreats away from Sunderland. In 2025 the founder set up Wellness Space Studio CIC, a community interest company aimed at reducing the cost barriers to yoga and wellbeing classes. Classes are booked through the studio's online schedule.
