Making Friends and Socialising
Each yoga class is followed by optional chat on Zoom for people to chat to one another. This is a chat facilitated by Yogasmiths yoga teachers, Paul and Steve, and is a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other.
Having a chat and cuppa after our Gentle Years Yoga Class, we can do this online after our Gentle Years Yoga Class Online

What do I need to attend the Gentle Years Yoga Online class?
You will need a chair to sit on to attend this class. We suggest using a dining table chair. A chair with a firm base and upright back without arms.
In our classes we use a yoga mat, chair, yoga blocks, massage balls, scarves, bean bags and resistance bands. We have a stock of these items (excluding chairs) and can sell you a Gentle Years Yoga pack or individual items that you may need. However, do not worry if you do not have any of these items as they are not essential for attendance.
Make do with what is to hand!
If you do not have any of the equipment mentioned above, you can be creative!
We suggest the following alternatives;
A yoga mat – this is recommended but not essential. You just need to ensure that the surface you are practicing on is not slippy. We suggest practicing barefooted.
A yoga block – a thick heavy book
A scarf – a handkerchief or tissue or tea towel
A bean bag – a pair of rolled up socks
A resistance band – a dressing gown cord, or belt or a towel
A massage ball – a spiky washing machine ball or a tin of beans. One of our students used a large medication bottle and another used a spiky back scratcher / massager.
You may wish to have a cushion to hand and a couple of tins (metal food tins in place of bean bags), also a dressing gown cord or a belt (in place of a resistance band).
We look forward to guiding you through your yoga practice.
