# Derekthedog Yoga & Wellbeing Centre
Derekthedog Yoga & Wellbeing Centre is Exeter's pioneering yoga studio, established in 2002 as the city's first dedicated yoga space. Operating from a serene rooftop studio in the city centre, they offer a comprehensive range of authentic yoga practices rooted in classical Indian traditions, complemented by modern wellbeing services.
The studio serves a diverse community spanning all ages, abilities, body types and backgrounds. They cater to complete beginners through to advanced practitioners, as well as specialist populations including pregnant women, post-natal clients, children, seniors and those in institutional settings such as care homes and prisons. Their trauma-responsive trained teachers create safe, inclusive spaces where no experience is necessary to begin.
What distinguishes Derekthedog is their authentic, structured approach combining multiple yoga traditions—from dynamic Ashtanga Vinyasa to restorative practices and meditative techniques—alongside complementary wellbeing support covering nutrition, stress management and emotional resilience. Beyond studio classes, they provide online sessions via Zoom, corporate training for office staff, bespoke group programmes, accredited teacher training courses, seasonal park yoga, and studio hire facilities.
Their commitment to accessibility is evident through flexible booking systems, reasonable pricing structures, and intentional welcome of diversity. With over two decades of operation, they've established themselves as the heart of Exeter's thriving yoga community, offering authentic practice designed to transform physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
