Yoga with Shanti

Yoga with Shanti is a small and friendly yoga studio located in south Belfast. The studio offers a welcoming and down-to-earth approach to yoga, catering to individuals of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Whether you are a sports person looking to enhance your cross-training or simply wanting to unwind after a long day at work, Yoga with Shanti provides accessible yoga classes for beginners and intermediate students.

The studio is owned and operated by Shanti, a qualified Level 1 Yoga Alliance UK teacher. Shanti has been practising yoga since 2001 and began teaching in 2016. With a passion for sharing her enjoyment of yoga and helping people discover a form of yoga that suits their personal tastes and needs, Shanti takes a simple and down-to-earth approach to her teaching. She believes in building strength and good alignment rather than focusing solely on complex poses.

Classes at Yoga with Shanti are kept small, both in-studio and online, allowing for personalised attention and tailored routines for each student. The studio can accommodate up to six people per class, while online classes via Zoom have space for ten participants. This ensures that each student receives sufficient one-to-one attention if needed. One-to-one sessions and corporate classes are also available, catering to sportspeople with specific needs.

All classes at Yoga with Shanti incorporate stretches, strengthening poses, and relaxation techniques. Regularly scheduled classes usually last 75 minutes, with the duration of one-to-one and corporate sessions adjustable as required. Mats and other equipment are provided at the studio, and participants only need to bring themselves. While masks are not required, they are welcome for those who prefer to wear them.

Yoga with Shanti offers a variety of classes, including an All Levels class and a Strengthening class. The All Levels class is a flow-based session that covers breathing techniques, static and moving stretches, and relaxation. It is suitable for complete beginners without injuries, as well as intermediate yoga students, sportspeople, and individuals with desk jobs. The Strengthening class is a slightly more intense version of the All Levels class, suitable for those with a good level of overall fitness or previous yoga experience.

To attend a class at Yoga with Shanti, pre-booking is required as drop-in classes are not available. Class schedules can be downloaded from the website, and sessions can be booked either for in-studio attendance or online via Zoom.

Overall, Yoga with Shanti offers a warm and inclusive environment for individuals seeking a holistic approach to yoga in Belfast. With a focus on accessibility and individualised attention, Shanti is dedicated to helping her students achieve physical and mental well-being through yoga practise.
