Meet our founder.

Charli built this space to be the one they were searching for and couldn't find: somewhere marginalized identities are celebrated and curiosity is nurtured.

A space where yoga is more than asana, where we work inwards rather than getting in a workout, and where there's room for everybody's body.

Green Light Hearts.

Every teacher brings their own style, story, and strengths.

Charli practising a strong arm-balance pose

Charli they/them

Owner, and a neurodivergent, disabled, queer educator who created this space so no one has to hide. Progress means the confidence to listen to your body.

James he/him

Sees yoga as a profound spiritual practice reaching beyond the mat. Anyone, at any stage of life, can practice: stillness of the mind is central.

Evelin in a deep squat pose outdoors

Evelin she/her

Accessible, playful classes with a strong focus on alignment and breath, guided by Ahimsa: compassion turned inward as much as outward.

Ella in a seated backbend pose holding her foot

Ella she/her

Accessible, enjoyable, supportive classes that encourage authentic movement, shaped by non-attachment from the Bhagavad Gita.

Shop the sanctuary.

Activewear, books, prints, mats and wellness finds, with shelves dedicated to independent Yorkshire makers. We choose what we stock the way we choose our teachers: local, considered, a little bit curious.

Wed–Sun, 11am–5pm. Closed Mon & Tue.
