Yoga Society
Welcome to the Cardiff university yoga society. Our society provides a weekly timetable of a variety of yoga classes that are suitable for all abilities. We proudly have fantastic professional yoga teachers who run these classes. We also run regular socials and yoga retreats alongside this.
Yoga creates a sense of harmony between the mind and body. The benefits can include increased feelings of calm, joy and ease; mindfulness; improved strength and balance; and reduced stiffness.
You will need to bring your own yoga mat as unfortunately we are not able to provide them.
A membership will cost £80 for the academic year. This will provide you access to all of our classes on the weekly timetable.
This is a fantastic opportunity and price for yoga classes. A class in a regular yoga studio would cost upwards of £12. Whereas with our membership it works out at roughly 50p per class if you attend all classes or £2.50 if you attend one class a week!
Alternatively, you can pay as you go for £4 per class.
Give it a go classes will run at the start of term for two weeks. Tickets for these will be £2.50 Alternatively you can attend these classes as part of your membership.
Half year memberships will be available in the Spring semester only for £45.
Summer term memberships will be availbale for £15.

Yin:
Yin is a meditative practice that consists of a sequence of slow yogic postures held for up to 5 minutes at a time to allow deep tensions in the body to unravel. The class will be themed every week with Daoist philosophies and the Chinese five element theory for you to reflect on as you hold static postures for up to 5 minutes. The practice is linked to the Chinese meridian system and helps open the meridians so more Qi/ energy can move through the body.
Beginners flow
This Class will move slowly through breathing techniques, physical yoga poses as well as yoga philosophy. Lilia strongly believes that there isn’t a right or wrong way to do a pose, rather benefits and drawbacks in each body. She uses this class to focus on different ideas and techniques that she hopes will create strength, stability and greater range of motion for students. Ideal for beginners or someone new to yoga but also great for those wanting to slow down and learn more.
