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
Control. Connection. Confidence. For the body you'll live in for the rest of your life.
Taught on alternate weeks by Kate or Olivia, each session combines classical Pilates with contemporary movement principles to improve your posture, core strength, balance, mobility and body awareness. Through slow, controlled movement and mindful breathing, you'll develop the strength and stability that supports everything else you do - both in class and in everyday life.
We'll strengthen from the inside out, creating better movement patterns, improving the way your body works as a whole and helping you move with greater ease and efficiency. Whether you're completely new to Pilates or have been practising for years, this class meets you where you are.
NEW CLASS 7.30-8.30pm | Pregnancy Relaxation | Melanie
Pregnancy can be exciting, emotional, joyful and, at times, overwhelming. Our relaxation sessions offer a chance to take some time each week to slow down, switch off from the busyness of everyday life, and enjoy some dedicated time to connect with your baby.
During these weekly sessions, you’ll be guided through gentle breathing techniques, deep relaxation, mindfulness, and practical hypnobirthing-inspired tools in a calm, welcoming environment.
While you’re very welcome to book individual drop-in sessions, joining all sessions in a month allows you to experience the complete programme and build a toolkit of relaxation and birth preparation techniques that grow week by week.

Wednesday
9.45-11am | Embodied Yoga | Katy
Breathing well and moving well is the cornerstone of living well. No crazy postures, just simple, joyous movement to encourage joint freedom, to open and lengthen through the torso, build strength, challenge balance and promote breath awareness.
6-7pm | Movement for Life | Kate
Move well. Feel capable. Keep saying yes to life.
More than a weekly class - this is a practice of looking after the body and mind you'll rely on for the rest of your life. Each session blends yoga, mobility, strength, balance, flexibility, breathwork and mindful movement to help you build a body that feels strong, capable and ready for everyday life. We move with purpose, not perfection, exploring movement that helps you feel better not only in class, but everywhere else life takes you.

7.15-8.15pm | Strength for Life | Kate
Strength. Mobility. Flexibility - for the body you want to live in.
Designed to help you build strength that lasts, each session combines functional strength training with mobility and flexibility, creating a body that feels stronger, moves more freely and is better prepared for the demands of everyday life.
Build muscle, improve bone health, develop balance and stability, increase joint mobility and strengthen through a greater range of motion - because true strength isn't just about how much you can lift, it's about moving through life with confidence, ease and resilience.
Including an intentional pause at the end to ensure you leave - despite the hard work - feeling calm, collected and confident of a good night's sleep.

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.
