Welcome to the Dorchester Yoga and Therapy Centre
Coronavirus Guidance – updated 5/8/2021
We are back to our full timetable. Our class sizes are still restricted, and we cannot accept drop-ins. You must book through the teacher.
You will need to follow the following guidelines:
1. Please bring your own mat and any yoga equipment. Blocks and bricks can be borrowed at your own risk.
2. Equipment is available to buy if you don’t have any.
3. Please bring a pillowcase to cover bolsters/cushions.
4. Mats must be placed in the measured floor tape.
5. Please do not come if you or a family member feel unwell with Covid symptoms.
We are in the centre of Dorchester with two large, fully equipped yoga studios and two therapy rooms.
We offer a range of classes, including yoga, tai chi, qi gong and pilates, at different times of the day to suit different abilities and interests. We have a great range of experienced teachers offering different yoga disciplines for all interests and abilities.
If you are new to yoga and need some advice on what type of class would suit you, look at the classes page for more information, or the list of teachers, or contact us directly and we will be happy to help.
The Dorchester Yoga and Therapy Centre is run by Sharon Cox-Button. Read Sharon’s biography.
