At Brims Yoga, the focus is on providing a comfortable and safe environment for students. Classes are kept small, with a maximum of six students, allowing for individual attention and personalised instruction. The studio also takes care of students' overall well-being, offering organically grown heated blankets for relaxation, unscented yoga-eye-pillows, and a tea bar with hand-selected herbal teas during the colder autumn and winter months.
In addition to the thoughtful amenities, Brims Yoga provides free off-road parking for convenience. The studio aims to create a welcoming and inclusive community for all those who wish to enhance their physical and mental well-being through yoga.
Denise, the founder and instructor at Brims Yoga, was born and raised in Austria, giving her a unique accent that adds to the studio's charm. Her passion for yoga was discovered during her one-year world travel throughout South East Asia, Australia, and Los Angeles. After rediscovering her love for yoga during her first pregnancy in 2009 and experiencing the benefits it brought to her overall well-being, Denise decided to become a yoga teacher.
In May 2019, Denise qualified as a yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance and began teaching at a local leisure centre in Winchester. In early 2020, she welcomed her second child, a daughter who also loves yoga. Despite the unusual circumstances of the year, Denise remained committed to her yoga journey. In May 2021, she fulfilled her dream of opening her own boutique yoga studio, Brims Yoga.
Denise's goal at Brims Yoga is to offer the best quality yoga classes in a friendly and warm environment. She understands that individuals are at different stages in their yoga journey, which is why she offers a variety of classes and levels to cater to everyone. From Sunrise Yoga, designed for early birds seeking energy and relaxation, to retreats that focus on alignment and renewal, Denise provides a range of options to suit all needs.
Brims Yoga also extends its offerings to yoga instructors through teacher training programmes. The studio provides a stunning and luxurious space, including amenities such as free off-road parking, a real-life size skeleton for anatomical reference, and a whiteboard for teaching purposes. Interested instructors can contact Denise to design a unique package and discuss the terms and conditions for renting the studio.
Brims Yoga is dedicated to creating a space where everyBODY can experience the transformative power of yoga. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced yogi, Brims Yoga welcomes you to join their community and embark on a journey of self-discovery and well-being.
