# St Leonards Studio CIC
St Leonards Studio CIC is a community interest company based at The Royal Victoria Hotel in Saint Leonards-on-Sea, offering holistic wellness classes and professional training programmes. The studio serves individuals seeking alternative therapies, yoga practice, and personal development across all experience levels.
The business operates a diverse range of weekly classes spanning yoga, chair yoga, shiatsu, qigong and women's drum circles, accessible through a published timetable. They distinguish themselves through a strong commitment to accessibility, evidenced by free Zoom classes, low-cost therapy clinics and affordable practitioner training. The monthly Shiatsu Low-Cost Clinic (£3-7pm) and People's Health Alliance Therapy Afternoons demonstrate their dedication to serving those with financial constraints.
Professional development is central to their offering. St Leonards Studio delivers accredited training programmes including a one-year Shiatsu – Bodywork for Well-Being course and comprehensive Yoga Teacher Training at 200 and 300-hour levels, with recruitment actively underway for September/October cohorts.
What sets them apart is the integration of both commercial classes and social enterprise principles. Rather than operating purely as a profit-driven studio, their CIC status emphasises community benefit. The venue's location within a historic hotel creates an accessible, welcoming environment. Their programming balances mainstream wellness offerings (yoga, chair yoga) with more specialist modalities (gong baths, qigong), alongside affordable access initiatives that prioritise inclusivity over maximising revenue.
