Sheffield Yoga Nature

I really enjoy going to Yoga Nature classes, even if I feel on overload from work when I go in I always feel very relaxed when I leave. Jo & Ben lead the classes in a very calm, gentle and informative way, they have a multi dimensional approach covering yoga postures, breathing, self care and nature. The class routines vary depending on the seasons and they explain the impact of the postures on our body in terms of the benefits which I find very useful. Jo & Ben suggest variations for some moves and encourage us to listen to our bodies when choosing which posture to do. Once every 3 months Mark comes to do a sound bath for half of the session, I had no idea what to expect but they are incredibly calming! The location is warm and spacious too, I would recommend this class to anyone, they will make you feel very welcome.

We've been going to classes with Jo and Ben for over three years. We really feel the benefits of our weekly yoga and especially during lockdown the online classes have helped us enormously. The physical postures have definitely improved our strength and we find the breathing and meditation practice is relaxing and calming. We always look forward to our regular yoga practice. Jo and Ben are so knowledgeable and they are lovely teachers. It's a pleasure to be part of their yoga group.

I had been looking for a yoga class for some time and had attended a few but none of them were exactly what I was looking for. For me, yoga is about helping me to ground myself, feel balanced and become more aware of myself and the environment I am living in. And that's why I was searching for a teacher who would see yoga in the same way and live it on a daily basis. Jo and Ben are offering yoga sessions that include various topics (it's really diverse), meditation, understanding about the philosophy behind it as well as exercises adaptable for everyone. I felt welcomed and learned that I didn't have to push myself and perform but just listen to what feels good to my body. I would like to say thank you to you both at the same time. You are really putting your whole heart into these classes and are spreading love and kindness for all beings everywhere at the same time.

I had a one on one yoga session today with Jo, it was a fantastic experience and I felt completely relaxed and almost light as a feather after will definitely be back for more sessions 5 stars for sure thank you peace and light xx

I wanted to specifically recommend Yoga Nature during this challenging time. I have found Yoga Nature's classes invaluable for managing my emotions, easing out my back and helping me start my day in an energised frame of mind- I am not a morning person so this is a big achievement! Jo and Ben are going above and beyond every single week to provide soothing, energizing and grounding yoga classes through their online yoga studio. I don't think I will ever forget their kindness and awareness of the needs of their yoga community during such an unprecedented time. Thank you.

I've been exploring yoga with Jo at Yoga Nature for about a year. I really look forward to sessions and love how varied they are. Jo's love and understanding of yoga makes being in one of her classes a joy. She is supportive and knowledgable and makes me feel truly empowered to use the session in the way that is right for me at that time. The physical exploration can be as challenging as I wish to make it for myself and the meditation sessions leave me feeling relaxed and peaceful. Last week's session involved a breathing exercise with hand gestures which encouraged breathing deep into the extremities of the lungs. A chesty cough which I have been struggling with for a few weeks has really cleared up. One very happy customer here! Thanks Jo.xx

Thank you Jo and Ben for a wonderful Winter Solstice Yoga and sound Workshop, I really enjoyed the whole experience, the yoga was gentle and nourishing allowing for me to enjoy the practices without fear of aggravating my back, and the Chakra sequences were fantastic! I found it so energising and awakening for my body. I loved the chanting (very impressed by your fluent sanskrit recital) and my body felt so light, vibrant and alive afterwards. Marks sound bath was amazing too, I felt I was blown into a higher dimension!! Soo very grateful to you both and truly blessed to be sharing in this experience. Looking forward to more yoga and sonic blessings. With love and deepest gratitude. XX

Beautiful, nourishing, nurturing practice with plenty of warmth and humour. I've been attending classes for over 7 years and love how inclusive they are - you can access the yoga practice in whatever way best suits you in that given moment - no pressure and lots of gentle prompts to honour the needs of your body and resist the ego. This year I finally made it to the Rabbit in the Moon yoga walk out in the Peak District - absolutely beautiful evening out connecting with ourselves and nature, scrummy shared picnic and good company for the bus ride home - what's not to love?! Highly recommended trying out Yoga Nature classes and/or workshops with the lovely Jo and Ben! 🌺🌱🌞🌛🌈💚

I have been attending Jo's classes for about 10 years. She puts in 110% and works at depth. Jo manages to create a warm and safe atmosphere, sprinkled with humour, at the same time as introducing many aspects of yoga so her students can have a multilevel experience. In these days of 'a quick fix', I am so grateful that Jo is dedicated to regularly attending trainings and retreats for her own inspiration, then enthusiastically passing on the benefits of her learning.

I have been going to classes for 2 years now and they are amazing and adaptable for any experience or body. Very good for the body mind and soul . Jo and Ben are lovely teachers and always feel energised and de stressed after a class. I recommend highly.

Jo and Ben are authentic, generous, open hearted and dedicated to the profound depths of the teachings of yoga. Their dedication to serving the community as a whole is reflected in the ethical choices they have made in creating this gorgeous studio. This is a space for people really want to journey into the depths of the Self, to truly let go, and for people wanting much much more than just an exercise class. This is a place for true transformation and awakening, and Sheffield are very lucky to have access to the true teachings of yoga in this way.

I decided to take up yoga over 10 years ago at the great old age of 50 I had several 1 to 1’s with Jo before embarking into a class & I have never looked back. I now love yoga & it’s a very important part of my life & Jo & Ben are by far the best yoga teachers I have met. I have attended yoga classes throughout the country & further afield. Jo makes yoga accessible for all ages & shapes & proves it’s not just for the young & bendy!! So if you are looking for a yoga class that’s welcoming & accessible for all try Yoga Nature you will not be disappointed.

I’ve been going to Yoga Nature’s classes for about a year now and thoroughly enjoy them. I love how each class weaves aspects of asana, pranayama, philosophy, energy and, of course, relaxation. Jo and Ben have different teaching styles but whichever one is teaching I find that they always manage to deliver exactly what’s needed. I always leave class feeling relaxed and renewed and can definitely recommend!

Just done the winter solstice yoga workshop for about the fifth year running and it's always a wonderful way to ease into midwinter; Jo and Ben are so welcoming, with such attention to the small details that make an event special. The yoga itself is not just for body but for mind and soul too, and I always come away breathing easier, feeling more tuned in to my physical body and so relaxed and peaceful - quite an achievement at this time of year! Really recommend the regular classes and the satsang too.
