A LITTLE ABOUT US

We’re a truly Glasgow yoga studio. Here at Merchant City Yoga we like to keep it real. In yoga and in life. We take our yoga seriously, but still have a laugh about it too. We have a practical no nonsense approach to yoga. We do it because it works.

We started in the iconic Peckhams Building in Merchant City where there’s been yoga happening since 2000. Merchant City Yoga came into being in 2010 and Judi took over the helm in 2012 after leaving a job she loved and traveling the world for a year (a mid-life crisis meets gap year 20 years too late).

You’ll now find us in Glasgow’s 9th oldest building, The Jacobean Corsetry Building, yes, you did read that right, on Virginia Street.

We can’t promise you’ll lose weight fast or find enlightenment any time soon. We won’t make you give up all the things in life you love to eat and drink. Or wear any tight, expensive and unflattering work out gear.

We can promise yoga.

Classes for everyone no matter how stiff or bendy you may be. Especially for those who have always wanted to try it but…life. Right?

Dedicated teachers helping people just like you to make changes, reach your goals (whatever they might be) and maybe even achieve some things you never thought possible.

Everyone starts yoga for a different reason. Some for sleep, for those off days, for alone time, for health, for that promise you made yourself years ago. Whatever the reason, we hear you. What matters is that you join us. Enjoy it. And do more yoga.
