Social Yoga is known for creating a genuinely welcoming and community led space where yoga, pilates and wellness feels accessible, human and rooted in real life.
The studio focuses on wellbeing and helping people feel comfortable in their own bodies. Our classes blend thoughtful guidance, creativity and a relaxed atmosphere that encourages people to explore movement, breath and stillness, without pressure or judgement.
What began as a small yoga studio quickly grew into something more: a place where people stay to talk after class, where children play while parents practise, and where events, workshops and shared experiences sit naturally alongside yoga on the mat.
At Social Yoga we host yoga, pilates, sound and movement classes which allow people to arrive exactly as they are and leave feeling more grounded, energised and part of a community.
Social Yoga is a calm, friendly studio rooted in community.
The founder of Social Yoga
I'm Brian James Gill, a yoga teacher, father of Sage and long-time community practitioner who believes movement can be both grounding and social.
After training as a yoga teacher and spending years working in community services supporting young people and families, I set out to create a space that combined thoughtful practice with a genuine sense of belonging.
COMMUNITY
Social Yoga has grown through relationships and trust, not traditional marketing.
My background working in social care and community services taught me how important safe, supportive spaces are for people’s wellbeing. I try to bring that same approach into the studio, creating an environment where people feel seen, respected, and encouraged to explore yoga in a way that works for them.
Through our workshops, partnerships with local organisations, or community events, Social Yoga should feel like an active and positive part of the neighbourhood.
Social Yoga hosts regular Yoga and Pilates classes that support your wellbeing. We also offer restorative practices, sound journeys, workshops, and community gatherings.
Some events are yoga-based, while others explore different aspects of wellbeing, from meditation and sound work to creative workshops and discussion groups. The studio also hosts a variety of creative and community-led events.
What our studio offers
We work with a wide range of different groups. This includes classes for children, pregnancy yoga, and upcoming baby massage sessions, as well as women-only sessions designed to support specific local communities. We regularly collaborate with people and groups across the LGBTQ+ community.
Yoga here isn’t limited to just the physical practice of asana. I see yoga as a broader philosophy rooted in connection, awareness, and wellbeing, and the studio reflects that wider perspective.
Because of that, Social Yoga attracts a very diverse mix of people, and that diversity is something we value and actively celebrate
Who is our studio for?
Our studio is rooted in connection, awareness, and wellbeing.
Our aim is to create a welcoming space where people can explore yoga at their own pace.
You don't need to be experienced, flexible, or part of a particular crowd to come along.
We don't promise one specific outcome, Social Yoga offers a space where you can come as you are and find what you need in that moment, whether that’s movement, rest, creativity, or community.
