Build strength. Find calm.
Move through life better.
Sass Studio is a safe, welcoming and down-to-earth space where you can explore yoga, Pilates, movement and wellness — whatever your age, ability or life experience. Our aim is simple: to bring the benefits of movement and mindful living into real, everyday lives. We’re here to help you feel stronger, move better, and find a calmer, happier mind — support that goes far beyond the studio walls.
Whether you’re curious about yoga philosophy or prefer practical, movement-based classes, you’ll find something on our timetable for every body — and everybody. Alongside weekly classes, we also offer short courses, workshops, retreats, workplace wellbeing sessions and bespoke group or 1:1 classes, so there are lots of ways to get involved.
Our teachers are passionate, down-to-earth and genuinely great company — which makes showing up, learning and coming back something to look forward to. And whether it’s your first class or your thousandth, you’ll find a community that’s accepting, authentic and kind.
Here, ego is left at the door. We show up as humans — imperfect, evolving and real — carrying whatever life hands us. In doing so, we create a space where everyone belongs. Come exactly as you are, and know you’ll be welcomed, held and embraced as part of the family.

Monday
9.30-10.30am | Monday Morning Movement | Kate/Katy
Start your week with a class designed to help you move well, breathe deeply, and build strength and resilience—both physically and mentally. Taught on alternate weeks by Kate and Katy, this class blends intelligent, science-backed movement with breathwork and meditation to support your body and mind.
Kate’s Movement for Life approach focuses on strength, flexibility, and joint health, while Katy’s Embodied Yoga emphasises mindful, flowing movement and breath connection. Both styles encourage ease, balance, and vitality in a supportive space.
No experience needed—just movement that feels good and sets you up for the week ahead.
6-7pm | Pilates for Life | Kate/Olivia
Slow doesn’t mean easy. It means powerful.
Taught on alternate weeks by Kate and Olivia, Pilates for Life is a deeply nourishing practice designed to build strength, control, and vitality—at a pace your body can truly absorb.
In Pilates, slow is strong. Why? Because moving slowly challenges your stability, enhances neuromuscular control, and helps build lasting strength from the inside out. It’s how we cultivate precision, reduce injury risk, and make lasting changes to posture and mobility.
With every controlled breath, every deliberate hold, you’re not just working out—you’re reprogramming your body for longevity, resilience, and radical self-respect.
Whether you're 18 or 80 - this is the Pilates you should be practising. Suitable for all levels.

By the end, you’ll leave with:
~ A go-to routine you can use at home
~ A better understanding of how to ease tension safely and effectively
~ A body that feels calmer, looser, and more at ease.

Crystal Workshop - from curiosity to connection
Have you got crystals dotted around your home — on shelves, windowsills, in bowls or handbags — quietly calling to you… but you’re not quite sure how to work with them? You’re not alone.
With over 25 years of experience working with crystals, Nikki understands that pull - being drawn to crystals without fully knowing why, or how to use them with confidence and intention.
This workshop is for anyone who feels curious, connected, or simply ready to move beyond “they’re pretty” into something more meaningful and practical. This is a gentle, beginner-friendly workshop, grounded in both intuition and understanding. Alongside traditional and energetic approaches, you’ll also explore the science of frequency and vibration — helping you understand not just how crystals are used, but why they’re believed to work.
Includes a workbook and crystal to take home.

Chair Yoga & Chat
At Sass, we believe wellbeing is about more than exercise. Join us for two friendly and welcoming introductions to Chair Yoga & Chat, a new class designed for adults aged 60+. Tuesday 18th and 25th August, 11am-12noon.
As we age, staying active becomes increasingly important for maintaining independence, strength and confidence. But there's another piece of the puzzle that's just as important - connection. Studies have shown that loneliness and social isolation can have a significant impact on both physical and mental health. Yet many older adults tell us they simply don't have enough opportunities to meet people, build friendships and feel part of a community.
Chair Yoga & Chat was created by our teacher Lindsay, to support both body and mind.
The session begins with 30 minutes of gentle chair-based yoga to help improve mobility, flexibility, strength and confidence in movement, followed by 30 minutes of tea, biscuits and conversation.
Come try it for yourself - no experience needed.
Tuesdays 18 and 25 August | 11-12

Yes! In fact you are a perfect candidate!
Many people think that they need to be flexible to begin yoga, but that’s a little bit like thinking you need to be able to play piano in order to take piano lessons.
Come as you are and you will find that a class will help you become more flexible. This newfound agility will be balanced by strength, coordination as well as a sense of physical confidence and overall wellbeing.

Just bring yourself, in appropriate clothing (see below), and maybe a small bottle of water. If you like to use your own mat and props, feel free to bring them too but we have plenty available.
-
Some people wear baggy, loose fitting bottoms or shorts and a t shirt. Other people wear tight, stretchy leggings + a top. The only thing that matters is that you wear comfortable clothes that you can easily move and stretch in. It's good to have clothes that keep you cool when you are active in yoga, but bring a jumper for relaxation, when the body rapidly cools down. Some people also bring socks and maybe even a blanket for relaxation.
-
Ideally, please arrive a few minutes before the class starts to settle in and prepare. We understand things happen, and sometimes people are late; quietly enter the class so as not to disturb others.
If the coffee house is not open when a class is taking place, it’s highly likely the front door will be locked and access at this time will be unavailable.
The front door is locked a couple of minutes before a class begins promptly so please leave plenty of time to get here, park and roll out your mat.
If you miss a class due to lateness, no refund will be given.
-
When it comes to food and digestion, everyone is different and so there’s no straight answer for this. In general, it’s not recommend eating a large meal within 2 hours of the class start time - if you must eat within 2 hours, then a light meal or snack that is easily digested is best. It’s recommended to be hydrated before a class so drink some water.
-
Congratulations! If you are new to yoga your only option is to attend our pregnancy yoga courses/workshops; start dates vary for the courses so, please check the class schedule for upcoming sessions.
If you are a seasoned Yogi, or have done Yoga previously whilst pregnant, please speak to the relevant teacher before booking on to other weekly classes on the timetable.
