The Life Centre North

From its two good-sized, daylight-filled rooms above Deansgate, The Life Centre North covers the spectrum of yoga styles, with a smattering of pilates and mindfulness too. 

Regular weekly classes include ashtanga, yin, hot yoga, and warm vinyasa flow with the heated classes being particularly popular. It also offers courses and masterclasses for those looking to take their practice to a deeper level: if you’re tired of going straight to child’s pose when the arm balances start, this is your place to learn the technicalities.

The Life Centre North’s specialist focus attracts a high calibre of instructor, including guest teachers from further afield. They also offer teacher training through their sister company, YogaCampus. Also look out for regular day retreats and weekend escapes such as forest bathing and yoga in the Lake District.
