Services
We are both fully insured Yoga Teachers through the British Wheel of Yoga and have up to date Health and Safety certification. Book a Yoga Class with us via our online Yoga Shop. I first practiced yoga back in 2005 in my lunch hour at work. I started my regular yoga practice back in 2010 to alleviate back pain caused from my civil service desk job.
Apart from the weekly classes, we offer a variety of yoga to suit individuals needs and circumstances. If you'd like to discuss any, or have needs that aren't listed here, please get in touch. Visit our classes page from the main menu for your choice of weekly yoga classes we offer online. When face to face classes restart they will be in Hoylake & West Kirby.
We are also teaching pop-up yoga classes outdoors on the beach both in Hoylake and West Kirby. Our online yoga classes are taught via the Zoom app. You can purchase access to the classes and find out further details on our Yoga Shop page. If you miss a booked class without letting us know more than 24 hours prior to the class then this will count as one of your six classes.
Gentle Years Yoga (GYY) is an authentic traditional Hatha yoga practice that has been modified to be chair based, making it ideal for older people or those with restricted movement. A 75 minute yoga class will include breathing exercises, full body mobilisation, pulse raising activities, concentration activities, co-ordination activities, balance improvement exercises, resistance work, modified yoga postures and a relaxation.
We hold pop up yoga classes throughout the year. Outdoors when the weather is good and also indoors. The outdoor beach yoga classes are held on the beautiful beach at Red Rocks, Hoylake which is easily accessible from West Kirby, Hoylake & Heswall and many other Wirral locations. The Pop up Yoga on the beach is very popular and is a wonderful way to connect with nature and enjoy our beautiful Wirral Peninsula.

The many excellent reviews Yogasmiths have speak volumes! Paul and Steve are not only very good yoga teachers, they are warm, welcoming and funny
The classes are very well planned and suit all abilities, and the relaxation at the end of class enables the best night sleep of the week.
My friend and I have been attending yoga classes with Paul and Steve for over two years, and we love it - thank you 🙏

I've been attending Yogasmiths classes for just over a year ago following a recommendation from my sister who also attends the classes. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere that Steve and Paul create mean the classes are always enjoyable. The way the classes are taught encourage a sense of inclusivity and Steve and Paul provide some fascinating knowledge about the practice of yoga beyond the physical poses. I have definitely noticed the benefits since I started attending the classes and would highly recommend them in turn.

I started yoga with Paul and Steve over 2 years ago. I was new to yoga so I didn’t know what to expect or whether yoga was for me. I loved it from the start and each week I really look forward to my yoga session with the Yogasmiths. Their classes are fun and informative and have helped me with my flexibility, mindfulness and relaxation. The atmosphere in their classes is very chilled and friendly and I always feel uplifted after each session.

I would recommend the YogaSmiths classes anyday. I like the fact that they team teach, allowing you to be able to concentrate on one instructor whilst the other rotates around the room assisting with the posture. I fully connect with this class and enjoy the following: the philosophy behind the practise and the class, the mobilisation postures, the peak pose structure of the class and the relaxation/mediation at the end. I walk out of every class feeling calm and happy. I say to everyone that I feel as though the class is tailored to me and my needs, I have been practising yoga for about 15 years

I absolutely love Yogasmiths yoga! The classes are suitable for all ages and ability. They tell you how to make the movement more or less depending on your ability. Each class has a little yoga theory at the beginning and a relaxation at the end. Paul and Steve are really lovely, are great teachers and make everybody feel very welcome.

Paul and Steve are wonderful teachers. Their classes are friendly and welcoming, suitable for all. They always demonstrate the poses, showing you each level and there’s never any pressure to do anything you are not comfortable with. I’ve been going to their classes for almost 3 years and have noticed the benefits of yoga. It has helped me with my back and shoulder problems and the relaxation always makes feel calmer and less stressed. I would thoroughly recommend their classes!

I have been attending the Yogasmiths classes for over 2 years and enjoyed every single one. Steve and Paul are informative, qualified and experienced, I know I am in safe hands. The classes are fun and energetic, you can get involved as much or a little as you wish. I've made some lovely friends as there is a great community feel. I always sleep so well after a class.
