Welcome to Universal Yoga – A Centre for Yoga and Meditation in Somerset

Universal Yoga is proud to be the only Affiliated Sivananda Centre in the UK, which gives us tremendous inspiration and energy to further the practise of yoga for the greater well-being of all. Swami Sivananda is considered a saint in India, inspiring many Indian men to go to the West and demystify yoga. His main aim was to encourage as many people as possible to enjoy the benefits of all aspects of yoga to gain greater vitality, as well as increased physical and psychological health. His followers include Swami Vishnu-Devananda who opened his first centre in the US in the 1950s.

Yoga is about these 5 points, which we offer at the centre:

Proper Exercise

Proper Breathing

Proper Relaxation

Proper Diet

Positive Thinking and Meditation

charlottaAt Universal Yoga, we offer classes for all levels. The classes are small – no more than 13 people. They take place in our purpose built carpeted and double-glazed studio. You can drop in to any class. Please call for advice as to which one would suit your needs. Plenty of parking available. We also offer retreats and weekend workshops as well as private classes to all levels, ages and abilities. With 1/2 a million people practising yoga in the UK alone and an annual increase of 25% more students every year, we are here to help you to participate in this now mainstream exercise. We have recently started offering fabulous Ayurvedic treatments, please call for details. Charlotta Martinus is a regular contributor on local BBC Radio and has also appeared on national TV. She speaks publicly about vegetarianism and yoga on a regular basis. There are eight teachers who teach at the centre, who all enjoy the continuous professional development run at the centre. Other teachers are also welcome to partake in these courses.

Universal Yoga has always been dedicated to working with children in the B&NES area, either introducing yoga as an enhancement to athletic students, a relaxation and focusing method to pre-exam students, or as a gentle sport to the non-sporty. Yoga has been proven to help with behavioural issues, reducing anxiety and increasing well-being. We work with children from 5 to 18 years old. Currently, we are teaching in  7 schools in the area. Charlotta also runs special training programmes for teachers in how to teach yoga to teenagers. The next training will be at the Special Yoga Centre in London in May 2012.
