Yoga Classes in Ilminster, Chard and Somerset with ZogaYoga
Come and join one of my friendly yoga classes in Somerset. They take place in various spaces in and around Chard and Ilminster in Somerset.
I’ve been practising yoga for 30 years and teaching classes for 12. As an experienced instructor I can tailor poses and practices to suit your individual needs, whether you’re looking to build strength, improve flexibility, or reduce stress. I love sharing the benefits of yoga with my students and feel that anyone can do yoga, regardless of their shape, age or ability.
I provide plenty of instructions and give variations, so people can move into a yoga pose to a depth that feels right for their body. My students love how they feel after a class.
On Thursday morning I teach in the Yoga Barn at Jordan’s Courtyard near Ilminster. Visit their website for booking and more information.
If you’re new to yoga I have several classes suitable for beginners, including the Gentle Yoga, Chair Yoga, Somatic Yoga and Hatha Yoga.
I’m taking a week off so there are no classes from Monday 20th October until Sunday 26th October 2025. Classes back on as usual from Monday 27th October.
Gentle Yoga – Chard, Somerset
11am – 12noon on Monday at The Crowshute Centre, Chard TA20 2EZ
Great for older bodies and beginners. A slower class giving you plenty of time to move in and out of a pose at your pace and to a stretch that feels right for your body.
We often use chairs along with other yoga props to help get in and out of poses more easily. I provide plenty of variations to poses to accommodate stiff joints and bad backs.
I always feel the benefits after a session in this enjoyable friendly class where I can work at my own pace under the guidance of Zoe.”

Mindful Movement – Donyatt, Somerset
6.45pm – 7.45pm on Monday at Donyatt Village Hall on the A358 at TA19 0RG
Switch off your busy mind and cultivate a deeper connection with your body.
Mindful Movement combines slow gentle moves (somatic), breathwork, Yin Yoga and mindfulness. You focus more on how you feel as you move slowly, rather than what a pose looks like. This makes it a lot easier for you to adapt the movement to suit your body. It’s a great practice for beginners
People who do Mindful Movement say their body feels lighter and more supple. It’s good for pain relief, lowers inflammation and leaves you feeling very relaxed.
You don’t need any experience of yoga or somatics to take part. A lot of the movement is done laying down So long as you can get up and down from the floor, you’ll be fine.
I love the yoga class. It’s a great relaxing place to be. It calms my mind and relieves a very tense body. Joining the class was one of the most productive things I’ve ever done.”
