A Note from Geri

Hello!

I’ve been teaching yoga in this part of South Wales for over 30 years, and I still feel such joy when someone walks through the door for the first time.

If you’re visiting from Bargoed, please know there’s a space here for you—no matter your age, experience, or ability. I teach gently, with warmth and flexibility, and I’ll always adapt the class to support you.

Come as you are. You’re very welcome.

Just a Short Trip from Bargoed

Although we don’t currently offer classes in Bargoed itself, both of our venues are within easy reach:

• Blackwood Methodist Church – just 10–12 minutes by car
• Plas Mawr Community Centre – about 12–15 minutes’ drive

Both venues are accessible by local roads or bus routes, and parking is available nearby. It’s a quick and easy journey to join a class that helps you feel calmer, stronger, and more balanced.

Why Students Come from Bargoed

We offer a down-to-earth approach to yoga that meets you where you are, no pressure, no expectations. Classes are open to all abilities and focus on:

• Gentle, mindful movement that supports your body
• Breathwork and relaxation techniques to reduce stress
• Building balance, strength, and mobility over time
• Creating space for calm in a busy life

Our teaching style is friendly and inclusive, and you’ll never feel out of place — no matter your experience level.

Yoga That Fits Into Your Routine

Life can be full-on, and making time for yourself isn’t always easy. That’s why our students from Bargoed say they value the peaceful atmosphere of our classes and how refreshed they feel afterwards — even after a busy day.

With sessions at both venues running on different days and times, it’s easy to find one that fits into your weekly routine.

More Than Just a Yoga Class

What makes Geri’s classes so special for many students from Bargoed isn’t just the gentle yoga—it’s the sense of belonging.

Over time, this little community in Blackwood has become a kind of second family. Students remember each other’s birthdays, notice when someone’s missing, and often stay for a chat after class.

Geri brings everyone together with seasonal social outings, a summer picnic, and a joyful Christmas dinner every year. You might come for the yoga—but many people stay for the friendships.

Classes are held at Blackwood Methodist Church and Plas Mawr Community Centre—two peaceful venues just a short drive from Bargoed, with free parking and nearby public transport.

Outdoor Yoga in the Warmer Months

In spring and summer, Geraldine also runs occasional outdoor yoga and mindfulness sessions at Pencoed Fach Organic Farm—a serene, off-grid location where you can move and breathe under the open sky.

“It’s a gentle pause in my week. Being outdoors makes it even more special.”
