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 Ystrad Mynach, 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.

More Than Just a Yoga Class

What makes Geri’s classes so special for many students from Ystrad Mynach 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.

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.”

Coming from Ystrad Mynach

It’s easy to reach Geri’s classes by car or bus, and there’s always a friendly welcome waiting. Whether you’re easing back into movement, managing stress, or simply curious—come and try a class.
