# Bahia Yoga
Bahia Yoga is an established wellness studio in Nottingham offering traditional yoga practices grounded in authentic spiritual roots rather than commercialised fitness trends. Operating for over 21 years, the studio provides yoga classes, comprehensive teacher training, and holistic wellness programmes centred on nervous system healing and mindfulness.
The business serves diverse communities, from individuals seeking stress relief and flexibility through regular classes to aspiring yoga teachers pursuing professional qualifications. Their approach particularly appeals to those interested in yoga's cultural heritage and decolonising perspectives, as well as socially conscious practitioners. The studio has demonstrated commitment to refugee and asylum-seeking communities through dedicated support during Refugee Week.
What distinctly sets Bahia Yoga apart is their rejection of yoga's commodification in favour of reclaiming its authentic spiritual essence. Founder Jasminder Bahia has spoken on BBC World Service about preserving yoga's meaning amid the $100 billion global industry. Their 200-hour yoga teacher training, running June to October 2026, integrates trauma-informed and decolonising perspectives alongside core foundations—a notably progressive approach. The studio specialises in Yoga Nidra, pranayama, mantra and meditation practices for genuine inner awareness and nervous system regulation. Their community initiatives, including special yoga days and refugee support sessions, demonstrate values beyond commercial profit. This combination of deep traditional knowledge, social responsibility, and thoughtful teaching philosophy creates a distinctive positioning focused on holistic wellness and cultural integrity rather than fitness trends.
