Come to Samantha’s yoga classes

Join me for yoga at Preston Community Library and online:

Saturday mornings

9am at Preston Community Library and on Zoom with Zenways – register here. The meeting password is zenyoga. You are welcome to make donations to Zenways here. 

10.30am Accessible yoga in chairs and standing for strength, mobility, bone health and stress relief at Preston Community Library

Sunday mornings 9.30am at Preston Community Library and on Zoom – register here. 

Wednesday evenings 7pm at Preston Community Library (not online at present).

All classes are offered on a donation basis. You can donate in person at the class, by bank transfer (Samantha Warrington, Lloyds Bank, sort code 30-84-76, account number 62276068), which is preferable, or online (which is less preferable as the payment provider takes a fee of £1.15). The suggested donation is £10 but no one will be turned away on the basis of lack of affordability. 

In the summer, I also teach at Preston Park under the trees at the top of the cricket pitch.

Private and other classes are available by arrangement

For beginners If you are new to yoga and would feel more comfortable starting a yoga practice at your home or mine, or in another setting. 

Individual bespoke classes tailored to your needs Whether you are trying to manage stress, lower back pain or symptoms of perimenopause or menopause, trying to conceive, wishing to improve your flexibility or strength, and everything in between, I can create classes specifically for your needs.

Family yoga Fun classes for mums and dads, and their children going on make-believe journeys, singing and other fun activities – parents also get a bit of a workout, without have to arrange childcare. Can also be made into an engaging activity for a party.

NHS-prescribed Yoga4Health I am qualified to teach the NHS protocol for people who have mild to moderate anxiety or depressions, or are at risk of cardiovascular events or disease, type II diabetes or social isolation. You can be referred to me by you GP or Social Prescribing Link Worker, so please request that you join me for a Yoga 4 Health course.

Workplace classes Start the day right with an energising practice at work, take a nourishing and restorative break at lunchtime, or close the day with a relaxing and stretching practice at your place of work for ultimate convenience, with or without colleagues. I have taught in a variety of workplaces and offices, and can adapt the practice for the setting.

Yoga nidra and meditation I can incorporate the deeply relaxing practice of yoga nidra (“yogic sleep” or “psychic sleep”, which is said to be six or eight times more restorative than regular sleep) into classes, or arrange dedicated sessions. There is always a period of relaxation at the end of classes, but this can be extended to include yoga nidra and/or meditation.

For your sporting needs Running, golf, tennis, skiing, swimming, cycling or any other sporting activities can be complemented with a yoga routine that will increase flexibility and focus, and decrease the risk of injury.

Chair and gentle yoga People with reduced mobility will still benefit from yoga to help alleviate tension and stiffness, improve muscle mass and reduce anxiety.
