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 Pontllanfraith, 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.

Your Local Yoga Class — No Need to Travel Far
With Plas Mawr Community Centre just around the corner, many of our students walk or take a quick drive to class. No long commutes, no big-city parking stress — just grab your mat and head over.
If you’re in the surrounding neighbourhoods of Penllwyn, Springfield, or the Bryn area, the venue is easily reachable via local roads or by bus.
What to Expect at Aura Yoga
At Aura Yoga, we focus on accessible yoga for real people — not acrobatics or extreme poses. Every class is an opportunity to:
- Gently build strength and flexibility
- Improve balance, posture, and breath awareness
- Create a sense of calm and mental clarity
- Join a community that values wellbeing over performance
Our students range from young adults to retirees, and everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace.
Classes are held at Blackwood Methodist Church and Plas Mawr Community Centre—two peaceful venues just a short drive from Pontllanfraith, with free parking and nearby public transport.
A Space to Slow Down
Plas Mawr offers a quiet, welcoming setting — the perfect environment to press pause on the outside world. It’s a chance to check in with your body, calm your mind, and return to your day feeling more grounded.
We also run classes at Blackwood Methodist Church, just 5 minutes away, giving you more flexibility in choosing a time that works for your schedule.
More Than Just a Yoga Class
What makes Geri’s classes so special for many students from [Town Name] 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.
