Matthew Gough

This class is perfect if you've never done yoga before, or if you have an existing practice but want an opportunity to develop and grow. Matthew teaches a mixed hatha and flow style with clear easy instructions in layman's language (no sanskrit or chanting in these classes).

Matthew offers helpful adjustments for those who want them (consent is always requested before any adjustment), whilst keeping a close eye on everyone in the room and offering individual feedback to ensure everyone is working to the best of their abilities.

We focus on key postures, breathing, developing strength, and balance. You'll learn to connect mind and body and develop a deeper understanding of your own physicality. No prior experience is necessary, and the class is friendly and fun.

Ideal for beginners and as an introduction to yoga, this is an accessible naked Hatha Yoga (i.e. making shapes with a moment between each one) class taught at a steady pace. It’s a playful and welcoming class, perfect for your first time, but also ideal for experienced yogis who are looking for an opportunity to reconnect with the fundamentals of yoga and test themselves too.

This class will build technique, balance and strength. It will allow you to experience what simple Asanas have to offer and how those poses benefit your body and mind. Matthew offers helpful and sensitive adjustments for those who want them (consent is always requested before any adjustment), whilst keeping a close eye on everyone in the room and offering individual feedback to ensure everyone is working to the best of their abilities.

The class may include some partner yoga. This involves sharing a posture with another yogi and brings a deeper understanding to the shape whilst also being a fun way to meet other yogis and share experiences. You will need to be comfortable with touching and being touched by other men in a non-sexual way.

No prior experience is necessary, and the class is friendly and fun.

This two hour workshop is for regular BSY yogis who are looking to develop and grow their existing practice. We'll look at familiar shapes but perhaps in a new light... it's your opportunity to ask questions and the idea is that you can bring shapes to the room that we can work through together to find new ways of approaching.

Playful and fun, each month we'll look at different things so you can evolve though any plateaus you have in your physical practice. The formal part of this session is two hours (3-5pm) but you're invited to stay afterwards at the studio (5-6) for a cup of tea and a chat if you'd like.
