Find Your Balance at Monifieth Community Centre
Yoga is one of the most popular and accessible forms of exercise, and it's now available right here in Monifieth. Our beginners' yoga classes are held regularly at the community centre and are open to adults of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you've never tried yoga before or you're returning after a break, there's a place for you on the mat.
What Is Beginners' Yoga?
Beginners' yoga focuses on foundational poses, breathing techniques, and gentle movement. Classes are designed to be welcoming and non-competitive — the emphasis is always on your own experience, not on comparing yourself to others. You don't need to be flexible to start; yoga itself helps to build flexibility over time.
Benefits of a Regular Yoga Practice
- Improved flexibility and range of movement
- Stronger core muscles and better posture

How to Book Your Place
Places in each class are limited to ensure a quality experience for every participant. We strongly recommend booking in advance through the community centre. Drop-ins may be accommodated when space allows, but a confirmed booking guarantees your spot.
To reserve your place or ask any questions about the classes, contact us at the centre by phone or via our online contact form.
Trying Something New?
If you're on the fence about giving yoga a try, you're not alone — many of our regular participants were hesitant at first. Our instructors are experienced in working with beginners and will make sure you feel comfortable at every stage. The first session is often the hardest step; after that, most people wonder why they waited so long!
