All classes take place at the wonderful Fairways Centre and have done so for the best part of 20 years. Fairways is a community centre in the east-end (Benton) area of Newcastle Upon Tyne. Over the years many adjectives have been used to describe this place, some of my favourites being magical, peaceful, mystical, other-worldly. Surrounded by an attractive woodland area, and landscaped with modern, naturalistic prairie plants the yoga space oozes tranquility and a calm healing energy. Many students find their yoga practice transformed by this beautiful atmosphere. The wood floor is purpose-built for yoga/dance, with a slight spring for soft landings, and the room is always warm and toasty. It is a great winter sanctuary and the ultimate panacea for frosty evenings. Yoga mats and blankets are free to use and Fairways has its own car park.

I am ever grateful for the love and support that students have given to Fairways over the years in the form of charitable events and donations. The entire building is built on that kind of love.
