I felt right at home in the studio, and everyone made me feel welcome. Gail is a great instructor, always with an encouraging word and making sure that everyone is working to the best of their abilities. The Yoga/Mat room is brilliant when the sun is out; it really warms up the room. I've enjoyed the mat based classes so much, that I'll be starting reformer classes this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it!

YogaJo's is a beautiful dedicated yoga studio in Milngavie that runs yoga classes for pretty much…read moreeveryone. I prefer the gentler styles of yoga like hatha and yin, but they also run astanga and flow classes for those who prefer faster paced classes. They also run classes for kids and teens - my niece goes every week and loves it. The studio is bright, clean and spacious with tea, coffee and sometimes even cake, but best of all is the welcoming atmosphere they generate. All the teachers and students are just so friendly and as a regular participant you begin to feel part of the community there rather than just a random visitor. As a result you begin to deepen your yoga practice not just through the classes, but through your interaction with your fellow students. For me, this is what a yoga studio should really be all about, rather than just somewhere to go and work out.

From the owner: Yoga classes for the whole community. At YogaJo's we have classes to suit all ages and abilities.read more

It's been a while now and I'm still here - so I guess it is time for an update…read more I still mean everything I wrote in my previous review: I love the atmosphere, the interior, the variety in classes and most importantly, the people. Since my last review, I did not give up on Barre classes, and even though I still think of my old love Lagree Fitness at times, I am more than happy that Barre is here for me. I know this is just the type of training I can keep on doing for a long time - because I love it, because it challenges me and because the results show. There is a lot of room for improvement, both in skills and my body, but I feel I can change in a sustainable way, levelling up gradually. I have also started doing yoga regularly, taking mostly Foundations classes. This is a beginner type of activity, and as I only learned from videos before, it helped me a lot to get things right. But this is not the biggest asset of this class: the time and location makes it possible to have this as our regular event with my boyfriend, who is away three to four days a week, and comes back on Thursday afternoons, full of stress and various work related thoughts. We really need something that helps us leave all problems behind for a while, ease our minds and be able to concentrate on what is before us - and this is exactly something that was not possible before we both started participating in our weekly sessions. Neither of the two different experiences would be the same without the ladies I had the joy of meeting in this studio. Not only are all instructors absolutely brilliant, kind, helpful as well as beautiful personalities, but I can say just as nice things about the clientele these wonderful people attract here. So the overall verdict is - possibly all the stars in the sky. I hope The Kali Collective are here to stay for long.

The Old Barn is located in what is quite possibly one of the best city parks between both…read morecoastlines, a soothing and calming space for healing arts such as yoga, meditation, and other alternative therapies. A few months back they started offering a new class on Sundays, and this alone has been motivation enough to make the drive into Glasgow. Classes are on a drop-in basis, which is practical for the schedule-challenged and commitment-phobes out there. Certainly there isn't a dearth of yoga studios and instructors around, however for me the space is just as important as the teacher, and the Old Barn lacks in neither atmospheric hospitality nor simplistic beauty - both of which have helped me ease into the stretches. I'm no pretzel, but doctor's orders have me engaging in the practice, and despite myself, I've actually come to like and even enjoy it. Part of this certainly has something to do with the open environment and warm people I've met thus far in the yoga world, and the crew at the Old Barn are certainly no exception - truly wonderful souls. I have a soft spot in my heart for all things barn-related, which is how we stumbled upon the location after a serendipitous conversation and follow-up round of google-ing. Oh you could take this barn-affinity in any manner of your choosing, but it's meant in a purely innocent one, very closely tied to frequent happy memories of being out in the country, oozing with fresh air seeping out the pores. Not even 10 minutes from the city center, the stone structure has been refurbished into a beautiful venue for freelance instructors to hire for their various art and healing courses. It's not just a stone-cold (pun-intended!) money making venture, the evidence of which includes the fact that they don't rent out the barn for private parties, weddings or corporate gigs. Instead they have dedicated the barn to promoting culture and bringing people together, giving teachers an affordable way to share their various arts. Whether for their yoga offerings or special events, or just to check out the space while visiting Pollok Country Park, do take a wee gander at the place. Even in the chilled winter months it has been a space of welcoming and inviting warmth (they've an old wood burning stove!). Certainly it's only going to get better as the spring begins to thaw everything and everyone out. One final blurb worth including here, taken directly from their website: "The downstairs of The Old Barn is home to the Scottish arm of the South African NGO, The Bookery. We collect second-hand books to help build libraries in disadvantaged schools in South Africa." "We are looking for donations of fiction and non-fiction books for age 5 through to 18. Adult books are also welcome - we sell all unsuitable books for £1/book to help pay for the shipping to South Africa. Please drop all donations off in The Old Barn. The door is always open."

This homely and welcoming impression is furthered by the warm wine tones used for decoration. Meanwhile, inside the centre is comfortable, clean and inviting.

As the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. This meant they took time to chat with my and a friend when we popped in out of curiosity (and a few enquires of the mother's). Leaving the centre, I felt comfortable and armed with much more information and ready to recommend this place further. While, it's not exactly my cup of tea, I can appreciate it and understand others enthusiasm towards it. So if you're at all interested, I'd recommend this particular centre for a nosey.

I decided, along with a couple of friends, to sign up for their 6 week beginners course, which came in at £48, which I thought was pretty darn reasonable! We turned up and were quickly shown where the mats and blocks were, got set up on the floor and got our payment and paperwork sorted. Anthea, the instructor, was friendly and made sure everyone was ready before moving on to the next posture or movement. We started with learning the basic yoga techniques, learning to open up our chests and really allow our bodies to relax. Once we'd got this down, we started moving into some of the more straightforward postures, helping us to stretch and open up our bodies. What we did in our first class was really easing us into it slowly, but that was great for a complete novice like myself, and Anthea talked us through every breathing technique, every movement and posture, as well as why we were doing it. My tummy muscles are a teensy bit sore this morning, but after the class I felt so calm and relaxed! I can't wait for next week and would definitely recommend the course for any novices looking to step into the world of yoga!
