# South Lakeland Yoga
South Lakeland Yoga offers accessible, inclusive yoga classes in Carnforth and surrounding areas, led by experienced teachers Dee Swift and John Bolwell. Both instructors are fully insured, certified yoga teachers trained in the classical Sivananda method, whilst drawing from diverse influences including Iyengar, Ashtanga, Yin Yoga, Tai Chi and Zen traditions.
The business caters to complete beginners through to experienced practitioners, deliberately tailoring each session to the abilities present. Classes blend flowing movements with held postures, emphasising strength, flexibility, mindfulness and the integration of body, mind and spirit. Students are encouraged to work at their own pace within a safe, supportive environment.
What distinguishes South Lakeland Yoga is their commitment to genuine accessibility. They offer free trial classes, flexible five-week cards usable across multiple locations without consecutive attendance requirements, and an explicit welcome to beginners. Their daytime Zoom option removes geographical barriers, whilst their New Year workshop format demonstrates investment in varied, engaging experiences beyond standard weekly classes.
The teaching philosophy emphasises presence and awareness as transformative—reflected in their Mariel Hemingway quote—rather than aspirational posturing. This grounded approach, combined with their dual-teacher model allowing different class styles, means participants receive personalised attention within a friendly community setting.
