About Us
Committed to your wellbeing in Mapperley and surrounding areas
We believe that the key to a happy and healthy life is keeping active, eating well, reducing stress and promoting relaxation. We provide a lovely environment to meet likeminded people and offer a range of interventions to help you to achieve this.
Our Story
After many years of teaching in sometimes rather uninspiring halls and community centres, in 2015 we were able to fulfil our dreams and open a beautiful Yoga and Wellbeing centre in Mapperley. Tucked away in a lovely garden with a natural pond, it offers a tranquil place to escape from the stresses and demands of everyday life. We call it The Secret Studio.
In winter the underfloor heating creates a cosy and welcoming ambiance. In summer we open the floor to ceiling doors and welcome in the song of the birds and the healing power of nature.
