Yoga & Meditation

Find a little space to slow down with yoga and meditation led by islander Gem Hansen, in the peaceful surroundings of Bryher.

Throughout the season, Gem leads a changing programme of yoga and meditation sessions from Hell Bay Hotel, with classes shaped as much by the island and the weather as the practice itself.

On cooler days, sessions take place in the calm of the Hell Bay Yoga Studio. When the weather allows, practice moves outside onto the hotel lawn – or occasionally further afield, to one of Bryher’s beaches or another quiet corner of the island.

Wherever the setting, classes offer time to move, breathe and simply be present for a while, with the sound of the sea rarely far away.
