# Yardley Yoga
Yardley Yoga is a home-based yoga studio run by Guy Edwards in Tonbridge, Kent. Founded in 2015, the studio reflects Edwards' profound life transformation—he left a 30-year career as a London City trader to pursue yoga teaching, a decision he credits with dramatically improving his mental health and overall wellbeing.
The business serves the local Tonbridge community and surrounding areas, welcoming students of varying experience levels who seek stress relief, physical wellness and mindfulness practices. Edwards brings a unique perspective to his teaching, combining corporate-world discipline with yoga philosophy. His background makes him particularly relatable to stressed professionals and those seeking meaningful life changes through mindfulness practice.
What sets Yardley Yoga apart is its authenticity and personal touch. Rather than operating as an impersonal commercial studio, Edwards has built a genuine community of loyal students over nearly a decade. The studio's humble origins—using old City work ties as props and practising on carpeted flooring—reflect an unpretentious, accessible approach to yoga. Edwards emphasises the transformative potential of the practice itself, not luxury facilities or image.
His mantra, "Smile, Breathe And Go Slowly," encapsulates the studio's philosophy: yoga as a tool for cultivating peace, happiness and sustainable wellbeing. Featured on BBC News and BBC Radio Kent, Edwards has gained recognition for his authentic transition story, attracting students interested in genuine instruction from someone who has lived yoga's transformative benefits firsthand.
