Our Story
A small room, kept quiet on purpose
Seagull Yoga began as a handful of neighbours practising together on weeknights above the bookshop. It has stayed roughly that size ever since.
We teach one thing carefully rather than many things quickly. Evenings are slow by design: long warm-ups, unhurried transitions and time at the end to lie still before walking back out into the street.
There is no mirror in the practice room and no music with words. Classes are capped at twelve so a teacher can reach everyone in the room, learn your name, and notice when something is not sitting right in your shoulders.
Most of the people who practise here arrived as complete beginners. Some have been coming for years. The sequences are built so both can share a mat length without either feeling out of place.
How we teach
Slow before strong
We would rather you understand a shape than reach the deepest version of it. Pace is a teaching tool, not a compromise.
Props are equipment, not training wheels
Blocks and bolsters are on every mat at the start of class. Using them is the practice, not a step below it.
Quiet is part of the offering
Low light, no mirrors and no commentary on bodies. The room is meant to feel like a place you can arrive at tired.
Small on purpose
Twelve mats is the ceiling. We would rather add a class than add a row.
