Instructors
As Yoga becomes more and more popular, the Body Shop has become the place for students who are interested in 'Yoga for Health and Wellbeing' as well as students recovering from injuries, health challenges and stress-related conditions.
All of the classes at the Body Shop are safe and therapeutic, taught by well trained and caring instructors, who love what they do.
