LION YOGA - new yoga studio near Chipping Norton

Aim

To provide inclusive, feel-good yoga at our brand new yoga studio in Long Compton.

The LION YOGA dream

Thank you so much for visiting the crowdfunding page for LION YOGA – a brand new yoga studio opening soon in Long Compton in the Cotswolds. 

This Crowdfunder is to help cover start-up costs for setting up the studio; including paying for a beautiful new floor and stocking the small studio shop with lovely yoga kit. 

Opening a yoga studio has been a dream of mine for so many years, and I am so excited that the LION YOGA dream is so close to coming true. I couldn't believe it when I walked into the studio in Long Compton for the first time - it was the most beautiful space, and I just knew it was the right thing to do. 

Of course, 2020 might not be the most sensible year to choose to open a new business, but here I am. I really believe that now, more than ever, people need somewhere special to go to concentrate on their well-being, and to relax and have fun. At LION YOGA, I want to create an inclusive space - welcoming, bright and open - where you can come to do something just for you, to make you feel good. 

Read on to find out more about the lovely space and for the chance to support us and help to get the studio open. The rewards are designed to say a huge thank you for your incredible generosity, so do please check them out, especially if you are planning to try out a class once we are open. By pledging through the Crowdfunder, you can get discounted class passes and memberships, and the Bring A Friend pass is only available as a Crowdfunder reward for now. 

If you are not into yoga, and you just want to make a donation, thank you so much and you really are fabulous! 

If you are after some new yoga kit, LION YOGA have collaborated with the amazing eco yoga brand With Every Atom to include some of their gorgeous yoga mats and bags as rewards. 

Here's the lovely ANDI bag - there's only one of these available!

More info about the space

The LION YOGA studio is located in a converted Cotswold barn in the beautiful village of Long Compton, near Chipping Norton. It is airy and full of light, with doors out to a courtyard, and plenty of windows and skylights. It is spacious enough for us to practise together safely while maintaining social distancing and good ventilation. We will of course be adhering to all Covid regulations, including asking everyone to stay 2 metres apart, wear masks when they arrive at the studio, and use hand sanitiser before and after class. We will leave extra time between classes to allow for rigorous cleaning, and we have chosen our new floor with cleanliness and safety in mind. 

There is plenty of parking and the studio is set in the most beautiful surroundings...it really is a very tranquil place. 

Our amazing teachers

We know how important your yoga teacher is to you! We are so delighted to be putting together a really exciting class timetable with some of the best teachers we know. There will be classes for beginners, vinyasa flow, yin classes, power yoga, and meditation. The timetable will also including some surprises - monthly workshops and special sessions dedicated to unlocking the magic of yoga, and some amazing classes to give you the chance to try something a little bit different.

Why does LION YOGA need your help?

I am starting up a brand new business just as a lot of health and wellness studios are coming out of many months of lockdown. I know how hard it has been for them, and the future is uncertain for us all. 

Through Crowdfunding, you get the chance to support the studio before it opens, but most importantly, you get first access to exclusive membership offers, class passes and beautiful yoga equipment. I am so grateful for your support, thank you so much. I really hope LION YOGA delights you when it opens, and I cannot wait for you to join in!
