We're collaborating with other iRest certified teachers to offer a weekly drop-in class on Monday evenings 8.00 - 8.30 pm. Each week will be a different teacher. These sessions are for everybody: beginners, those wanting to take their meditation further, and those wanting a shared meditation experience. Each session will be a unique opportunity to more fully experience the present moment, reaffirm your sense of purpose in life, cultivate a sense of inner well-being, and proactively engage in difficult feelings, emotions and beliefs. Please register here where you will receive further details: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/weekly-irest-sessions-tickets-139625001137?aff=ebdsoporgprofile
Payment for classes between Monday 22nd February & Saturday 3rd April only:
Below are recommended class payment amounts. We understand however that for many people, the pandemic and restrictions have been financially disastrous. If you can pay what's suggested that's brilliant, but please feel free to pay as much or as little as works for you if that helps. We would hate a lack of funds to be a reason for not being able to come to regular yoga and meditation classes. And it goes without saying that a 25 minute meditation class is not the same price as a 90 minute yoga class. The suggestions below are just guidance. Thanks.
Drop-In = £8
6 Classes = £40
12 Classes = £60
20 Classes = £90
Please pay by bank transfer to:
Rebecca Ellis
SC 402702
AC 01528297
Please also check the River Room website (www.theriverroom.org.uk) for information on other classes and workshops provided by teachers who would normally be in The River Room. Sometimes it's great to try something different!
Thank you so much and look forward to maybe seeing you on the mat!

About Me
I was introduced to yoga as a teenager and have practiced on and off ever since. It wasn’t until my 40s, however, that I fell deeply in love with this ancient practice.
I love the physical strength, flexibility and release it gives me. Most of all though I love the way in which yoga, in its fullest sense, makes me feel more alive than I had ever hoped for. And part of this feeling of vitality has meant becoming ever more sensitive to the vastness of what it means to be human, including some of the bits I might rather avoid. Living with yoga means living with and embracing contradiction.
Wanting to deepen and share this practice, I decided to train as a yoga teacher and qualified with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2016. I teach a variety of classes, drawing on different styles of yoga and always aiming to be as inclusive of all types of bodies, range of experience as possible.
