Our experiences are tailored around the needs of each particular group, to provide spaces for personal growth, silent reflection or social connection. Engage in structured practices such as yoga, meditation, and breathwork, which help calm the nervous system, improve emotional regulation, and enhance mental clarity.

Feel joy, gratitude and acceptance towards life and celebrate everything it has to offer. Experience self-actualisation and growth whilst remaining true to your pure Jiva.

The practice of yoga, meditation and maitriī are proven paths to enlightenment and inner peace. They have been known to help alleviate symptoms of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive behaviours and attention deficit disorders. Yoga helps quiet the mind, improves concentration and stimulates the production of happiness chemicals, resulting in peace of mind and stable mental health.
Asanas, or yoga postures, act as both a deep cleansing tonic and a rigorous fitness regime. Stretching the muscles and twisting the tissues and internal organs exercises the body inside and out. Much like wringing out a wet towel, the folds and twists performed during yoga practice squeeze out accumulated toxins, purifying the body and soul. In addition, the more you practice, the more you can enjoy improved agility, toned muscles and better overall physical fitness.
The personal behaviours associated with yoga benefit the individual and their community. The teachings of traditional Hatha Yoga, which begot Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and other yoga schools, encourage the practice of the eight limbs: yama (abstinences), niyama (observances), asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (absorption), enabling loving kindness.
We offer classes that guide you into different yoga practices and adjust their styles to your unique abilities and preferences. Our sessions meet in studios in Chester, UK or Wrexham, North Wales. Discover Ashtanga, Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra with one of El Yak’s trained teachers.
Only certified professionals practice yoga therapy, developing evidence-based personalised treatments to psycho-somatic symptoms. They apply the lens of yogic practices and techniques to address specific health conditions. Yoga therapy views the body and mind as one.
