# Yoga Norfolk - The Bhuti Yoga Retreat Studio
Yoga Norfolk is an inclusive yoga studio in Norwich founded by Barbara Ives in June 2017, dedicated to transforming health, wellbeing and mindfulness through accessible yoga, meditation, coaching and mentoring. Barbara (known as Bea or Babs) has created a safe, non-judgmental space where people of all ages, abilities, sizes, fitness levels and backgrounds feel welcomed and valued.
The studio challenges the misconception that yoga requires flexibility or advanced fitness, positioning itself as a practice for every body. Barbara's philosophy recognises that just as nutrition differs for individuals, so too does the optimal yoga style. Rather than promoting one superior approach, she encourages students to explore various styles to discover what serves them best, with the student-teacher relationship being paramount.
What distinguishes Yoga Norfolk is its holistic, person-centred approach combined with specialised programmes addressing specific needs. The studio offers general yoga and meditation classes alongside targeted offerings including 'Yoga for Menopause' and 'Women's Wellness' Programmes, reflecting Barbara's understanding that health challenges require tailored solutions. Her life coaching and mentoring services extend beyond physical practice to support clients in achieving thriving, balanced, joyful lives.
The ethos—"we use the pose to get into our body, not the body to get into the pose"—encapsulates a philosophy prioritising authentic connection over performance. This inclusive, evidence-based approach appeals to those seeking genuine transformation rather than Instagram-worthy contortionism, making Yoga Norfolk ideal for beginners, returners, and those navigating specific wellness transitions.
