# Ahimsa Yoga Studio
Ahimsa Yoga Studio, located in Carisbrooke on the Isle of Wight, offers gentle Hatha Yoga classes in an unconventional setting—a converted shed that prioritises substance over appearance. Led by Eva, the studio specialises in trauma-informed yoga practice designed to be genuinely inclusive regardless of age, size, health status or background.
The studio's philosophy centres on connecting movement with breath to cultivate present-moment awareness, calm the nervous system and develop mindfulness. Classes combine strength, mobility, breathwork, meditation and Yoga Nidra, with a deliberate slow pace that encourages practitioners to listen to their bodies and progress at their own rhythm. This approach suits complete beginners and experienced yogis equally.
What sets Ahimsa apart is its explicit commitment to accessibility and personal attention. Rather than offering large classes, Eva maintains small group sizes to provide genuine care and attention. Recognising physical accessibility limitations—the studio currently has steps—Eva offers personalised one-to-one sessions either at the studio or in clients' homes, ensuring nobody is excluded from practising yoga.
Eva's trauma-informed approach and emphasis on making yoga joyful rather than prescriptive distinguishes the studio from more conventional offerings. The focus on honouring yoga's roots whilst making practice genuinely welcoming to all bodies and abilities creates a distinctive, non-judgmental environment where people feel seen and supported.
