# Exeter Yoga Workshop
Exeter Yoga Workshop is a purpose-built yoga studio located in Exeter city centre, offering comprehensive yoga instruction from highly experienced teachers. Co-founded by Chris Croft and Yulia Heaton, the studio combines over 50 years of dedicated personal practice with 30,000+ hours of combined teaching experience.
The business serves both complete beginners and experienced practitioners through a diverse range of yoga styles, including Ashtanga Vinyasa, Therapeutic Vinyasa Flow, Hatha Yoga, Yin & Restorative, Breathwork, Aerial Yoga, and Pregnancy Yoga. They uniquely offer Mysore Ashtanga — a self-paced, guided practice — which is exclusive to Exeter.
What sets Exeter Yoga Workshop apart is their unwavering commitment to authentic, properly taught yoga without musical accompaniment or dogmatic approaches. The studio features infrared heating technology with eleven panels designed to ease muscle tension and improve accessibility, combined with specially engineered bamboo flooring that creates a grounded practice environment. Both founders have trained extensively under world-renowned teachers including the late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and Richard Freeman. Yulia additionally brings qualified acupuncture expertise and specialisation in women's health, enriching the therapeutic dimension of instruction.
Rather than treating yoga as a trend, the studio positions itself as a serious practice space for those seeking rigorous technical training alongside genuine understanding of yoga philosophy and its practical applications.
