# Bristol Yamas Yoga
Bristol Yamas Yoga Collective runs weekly Monday evening yoga classes in Bristol, welcoming practitioners of all levels and abilities. Based at Redland Church (hall 4), their 6:30-7:30pm sessions blend physical postures with yogic philosophy, creating an inclusive community space where flexibility—both physical and mental—isn't a prerequisite.
The collective distinguishes itself through rotating teachers who each bring their own style, from energetic power flows to restorative breathwork. Rather than promoting yoga as a performative practice, they emphasise that the discipline is fundamentally about feeling good, moving intentionally, and finding moments of calm. Their philosophy centres on the Five Yamas—ancient yoga guidelines promoting non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, wise energy use, and non-attachment—applied to both mat and everyday life.
What sets them apart is their deliberately unpretentious approach. Classes accommodate wobbles, laughter, and adjustments without judgment. Their tagline—"all levels, all bodies, all vibes welcome"—reflects genuine inclusivity rather than marketing speak. Neil Emmott, one of their teachers, explicitly describes his classes as "suitable for everyone from beginners to experienced practitioners," with experimental elements balanced by accessibility.
They also host special events like Yogastonbury, extending their community beyond regular classes. The collective represents yoga reimagined for people seeking genuine connection and practical wellness rather than Instagram-worthy poses.
