On October 10th, we observe World Mental Health Day — a day to shine light on the importance of caring for our minds as much as our bodies. It’s a call to break the silence, to reach out, to check in on each other, and to remember that none of us are alone in this.
Yoga for Men:
Every Thursday
Time: 7:30pm – 9:00pm
Cost: £15.00 per session or pay for the month.
Discover the transformative power of yoga tailored specifically for men. Whether you’re an athlete seeking to enhance performance, someone looking to relieve stress, or entirely new to yoga, this course is the perfect introduction to the practice of Hatha Yoga.
Why Yoga?
Yoga isn’t just about flexibility; it’s about strength, focus, and resilience. It’s about letting go of stress and tension and being present. Many professional athletes and sports enthusiasts are now incorporating yoga into their routines to improve mobility, prevent injuries, and optimize recovery.
My Experience
Coming from a family of six brothers, and with experience teaching yoga in a men’s prison, I’ve seen firsthand how much stress men carry — and how deeply it can affect both mental and physical health if it’s not dealt with. — a space designed to support men in building strength, letting go of tension, and finding focus. With nearly five years of experience teaching yoga to men at HMP Guys Marsh, I understand the unique needs and challenges men face. That’s why I run a weekly Yoga for Men class. These classes are designed to create a welcoming, supportive space for you to explore the benefits of yoga at your own pace, regardless of experience or fitness level.
What You’ll Gain:
Strength & Flexibility: Develop core strength and increase mobility.
Stress Relief: Learn to breathe deeply and relax, balancing the demands of daily life.
Improved Performance: Enhance your balance, focus, and recovery—whether on the pitch or in the gym.
Community: Join a group of like-minded individuals on the path to better health and wellbeing.
This class is perfect for beginners and those curious about incorporating yoga into their routine. Spaces are limited, so don’t miss this opportunity to experience the benefits of yoga firsthand. Whatever your experience — discover how yoga can support your body, mind, and lifestyle.
| What the men say about Yoga at The Space! I’ve been touched by the kind words and support from the men who come to my Thursday evening class. Their experiences speak for themselves: |
| “I really look forward to the men’s yoga class every Thursday. Sally is a fab, patient, and very knowledgeable teacher. I always feel more whole and refreshed after the class. I’ve been incorporating what I learn every week into my daily practice. Thank you, Sally 🙏🏼” |
| If your muscles feel stiff, your mind is buzzing, or you’re just looking to try something new, I highly recommend men’s yoga. It’s a great way to stretch out tension, feel physically stronger, and learn how to relax and let go of everyday stresses. Sally combines her vast knowledge of yoga with good humour and a friendly approach. It worked well being a blokes-only class too because we’d laugh at ourselves if we got stuff wrong. |
| I have been practising yoga for 15 years in London. When I moved down to North Dorset, I didn’t know what standard of class to expect. I have been bowled over by the classes at The Space. Sally has an exceptional talent with a wide range of natural treatments, is an outstanding yoga teacher, and is happy to share her wisdom with everyone in her classes. I always look forward to them and am never disappointed. Can’t recommend Sally’s classes highly enough. |
| I’m not into Google reviews, but if I were going to write one, I would say. You do a lot more for me than vodka ever does! And I don’t get a hangover after just a peaceful night’s sleep. You’re a little gem, Sally. I’m very glad I walked in those doors. Thank you. |

| I started doing yoga with Sally at The Space in November 2024, so for nearly a year, I have been stretching, breathing, and learning about my body as I have marched into my 60s. It feels like a very pleasant physiotherapy session, tweaking my various aches and pains and lifting my mood. The nicest part for me is hearing Sally’s voice: she is very calm and good at guiding me through my practice, and I love leaving The Space elated on a yogic cloud, thank you, Sally. |
| I highly recommend Sally’s yoga classes; she provides wonderful, clear instruction from a wealth of knowledge. The practice improves fitness, strength, and well-being, whilst her studio in Shaftesbury is a welcoming, friendly oasis of calm. I’ve been attending Sally’s meditation classes for nearly a year now, initially joining on a whim to help manage my anxiety. After just a few sessions, I began integrating her teachings into my daily routine, and the impact has been profound. Meditation has brought calm, focus, and presence into both my personal and professional life—reducing anxiety, lifting my mood, and improving my sleep. Sally blends traditional Buddhist practices with modern mindfulness techniques, making each session unique and insightful. The group dynamic at The Space adds another layer of depth—there’s a real sense of connection and shared energy that enhances the experience. The community is open and supportive, and we regularly exchange tips and reflections, which has helped me grow even further. I’ve had moments of deep peace, relaxation, and even spiritual experiences that I never expected. In addition to meditation, I also attend Sally’s men’s yoga class on Thursday evenings. Like her meditation sessions, each yoga class is different, offering new techniques and perspectives every week. Sally’s knowledge and encouragement make the sessions accessible and enriching, with small class sizes allowing for personal guidance. Yoga at The Space has improved my strength, balance, and helped release physical tension. Each class ends with a deeply restorative relaxation that leaves me feeling refreshed, happy, and completely reset. I can’t recommend Sally’s classes enough—whether it’s meditation, yoga, or sound baths, the experience is transformative!! |
