Shanti Warrior Yoga is about finding the balance between strength and gentleness. Our name reflects this…
‘Shanti’ is the Sanskrit word for ‘Peace’ – and we all know that it can be a battle to find that within ourselves. That’s when we need to find our ‘Warrior’ side.
We aim to help you develop physical and mental resilience, through mindful movement and conscious direction of energy.
In simple terms, we believe in the old adage ‘less is more’…Let’s practice less judgement, less impatience with ourselves – and more compassion for ourselves and the world around us.
Namaste.

Shanti Warrior Yoga classes are not like any other typical mainstream/gym yoga class. The Instructor's guidance is ever so gentle yet very clear and firm.
One finds a great practise of discipline, love and peace thanks to him.
What's more, it allows for a more serious yogi, to deepen his or her understanding of what yoga is truly about. A great sense of unity, transcending movement and stillness.
One in All, All in One.
Namaste.

Shanti Warrior Yoga classes are the perfect blend for me. Accessible for all abilities, while being challenging enough and with a really relaxed friendly vibe.
If you ever worry about feeling intimidated or self-conscious joining a new class - then this is the place for you.
None of that competitive atmosphere, just a supportive class that allows you to find your own level of practice and helps you develop confidence and a love for yoga and also a love for your own well-being.
Absolutely couldn't recommend enough!

I have been attending Shanti Warrior Yoga classes for over two years. I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy the classes immensely.
Classes are friendly with great instruction of the movements and purpose of yoga poses. Brendan is a knowledgeable, caring yoga teacher and is thorough with his approach and explanation of poses - all with a great sense of humour! He provides a warm, supportive and safe atmosphere for all in the class.
Attending the yoga classes has not only improved my physical health but more importantly helped me find peace with an overall feeling of well being. Thank you!

Shanti Warrior Yoga classes have helped me to become stronger in both body and mind.
My first ever yoga class with Shanti Warrior Yoga was just over six years ago. I have been totally hooked ever since!
Shanti Warrior Yoga classes have helped me to become stronger in both body and mind. They are my time to focus on me in a totally safe and comfortable environment, completely free of judgement.
Brendan is great at giving encouragement and knows exactly when and how much to push you whilst keeping you totally safe. I’ve often thought “I’ll never be able to do that” - but with Brendan’s help, patience and ability to explain things so clearly, perseverance has often paid off or at least I’m comfortable knowing I’m always improving.
All classes are relaxed and fun and are inclusive so can be enjoyed by anyone. I love being part of the ever increasing Shanti Warrior Yoga “family” and have met so many lovely people. I feel truly blessed.
