A RESOURCE FOR THE YOGA COMMUNITY IN OXFORD





Yoga Oxford



Why We Built This Site



This site has been developed as a resource for the yoga community in Oxford. Visitors to Oxford and those new to yoga are able to find the classes they will enjoy. Teachers can promote their classes, workshops and holidays.

If you are new to yoga, the best place to start is the descriptions of styles of yoga available and then look for the teachers who practice the style you prefer.

Information for the site is provided by teachers and we are unable to guarantee its accuracy or whether it is up to date. We suggest that you confirm details with the teacher before joining a class.

Traditional Meditation Teacher Training with Dr Kumar



1st March 2021 to 1st June 2021



Meditation is the most subtle and advanced limb of Yoga. This course is an opportunity for deep experiential learning, grounded in the most authentic traditions and lineages, underpinned by profound explanations of the science of mind. This is a rare opportunity to make a soul journey with Dr Kumar, the Guru who is grounded in the ancient traditions and the pure science of Yoga, who has explored the entire field of consciousness and gone beyond, to realise singularity, called in other language as Parabrahma, Holy Spirit, Allah, Self-actualisation, enlightenment. This journey cannot be made without the guidance of a teacher who has accomplished it.

Dr Kumar’s has been leading in-person meditation retreats for over a decade in India and the UK, however students on the RYT 500 Yogi Training course have experienced how profound the experience of meditating with Dr Kumar can be even online. Although the course is part-time, it will be very powerful. Applicants should be ready to immerse themselves deeply in a rigorous, challenging and life-changing experiential training program.

Nurturing spirituality and sustainability



The Lotus Sanctuary is a centre for holistic living 30 minutes south of Oxford near The Ridgway. We run our own courses and the Centre is also available for hire. The beautiful grounds of around an acre make an ideal venue for hosting yoga and/or meditation courses or retreats. There is a 45-square metre log cabin studio with stunning far reaching views over the valley and the Downs. The Centre also has a wild flower meadow, vegetable garden and orchard perfect for teaching courses promoting sustainability. Nestling in a secluded valley in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, yet easily accessible from Oxford, Newbury, Reading and London, the Centre's setting brings a deep connection with the natural world that immeasurably enhances the benefits of yoga and meditation practice and is a beautiful place to host such courses. The vast and gently rolling North Wessex Downs lie on our doorstep. Our vision is simple: to offer courses based on principles and practices to nurture ourselves and our environment thereby promoting a more positive spiritual and sustainable lifestyle to benefit our generation and future generations. We provide a beautiful location, warm personalised service and a suitable environment to facilitate our courses.
