# Exhale Yoga Studio
Exhale Yoga Studio is a welcoming yoga practice space located in Ripon, North Yorkshire, operating as part of Jion Studios on Queen Street. The studio serves individuals of all experience levels—from complete beginners to seasoned practitioners—in a deliberately non-competitive, non-judgmental environment.
What sets Exhale apart is its thoughtful approach to yoga instruction led by Nicola, a teacher navigating her own menopause and arthritis journey. Rather than prescribing high-intensity fitness regimes, Nicola brings two decades of fitness experience but emphasises intelligent rest and body attunement through yoga practice. She's currently studying Yoga Therapy, demonstrating genuine commitment to deepening her craft beyond basic instruction.
The studio offers diverse class types including aerial yoga using suspended silk fabrics, restorative practices designed for healing and recovery, meditation sessions, and specialised offerings like face yoga. Beyond regular timetabled classes, Exhale hosts Friday evening restorative and meditation nights, day retreats, and gong bath experiences—creating a genuine community rather than a transactional service.
The studio removes barriers to participation by providing all necessary equipment, though practitioners can bring their own. This inclusive philosophy extends to one-on-one personalised sessions for those seeking tailored guidance. Whether someone seeks stress relief, injury recovery, strength building, or spiritual exploration, Exhale positions yoga as accessible self-care rather than an elite fitness pursuit.
