# InStillnessandStrength Yoga
InStillnessandStrength Yoga is a specialist yoga studio based in Beverley, East Yorkshire, offering gentle, mindful yoga classes designed for practitioners of all abilities. Founded by Jan, a retired nurse academic with four decades of healthcare experience, the studio provides a refreshingly accessible approach to yoga that prioritises embodied practice and self-acceptance over spiritual dogma.
Unlike traditional yoga studios, InStillnessandStrength explicitly avoids chanting, chakras, and Sanskrit terminology, instead grounding its teaching in Christian values and straightforward, slow-paced movement. This makes it particularly welcoming to those seeking yoga's physical and mental benefits without religious or cultural elements they may find uncomfortable.
Jan's unique background—combining nursing expertise with personal transformation through yoga—informs her philosophy that yoga should help people appreciate and understand their bodies rather than judge them. She teaches that strength develops naturally through consistent, mindful practice rather than aggressive forcing.
The studio serves anyone seeking genuine relaxation paired with functional strength development, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners wanting a gentler approach. It's ideal for those drawn to yoga's calming, meditative aspects and those recovering from injury or managing chronic conditions, given Jan's healthcare knowledge.
Classes operate Monday and Tuesday evenings at the Quaker Meeting House on Quaker Lane, creating an inclusive, non-denominational space. This business represents a conscious rejection of commercialised yoga trends, instead offering authentic, values-driven practice rooted in care and respect for the individual.
