Men's Kundalini Yoga Classes in North Leeds | Saturday Morning Sessions
My Kundalini Yoga classes are designed specifically for men — whether you have never tried yoga before, are returning after a break, or are simply looking for something different on a Saturday morning. All levels of fitness and experience are welcome.
Classes take place every Saturday morning, 8am–9am, at The Old Stables, Ashling House, Back Church Ln, Adel, Leeds LS16 8DW — a peaceful, private space in North Leeds, easy to reach from across Leeds and West Yorkshire.
Group Sessions — 7-Week Kundalini Yoga Course for Men
My core offering is a 7-week group course — a structured, progressive programme that takes you from your first experience of Kundalini Yoga through to a meaningful, embodied practice.
Each course runs on consecutive Saturday mornings, 8am–9am, with a maximum of 12 men per group. Keeping groups small is deliberate — it allows me to work with each person individually, adapt sessions to the needs of the group, and create a genuine sense of community between participants.
What's included in each session:
-
Tuning in — opening mantra to centre and prepare the group
-
Warm up — gentle movement to prepare the body and breath
-
Krya — a set of specific Kundalini Yoga exercises targeting a particular area of the body or aspect of consciousness
-
Breathwork (pranayama) — specific breathing techniques including Breath of Fire to regulate the nervous system and build energy
-
Meditation — guided or mantra-based meditation to quiet the mind
-
Sound therapy — use of instruments and voice to stimulate the vagus nerve and deepen the meditative state
The final session of every 7-week course includes a full Kundalini Gong Sound Bath — an immersive sound experience using crystal bowls and gong, producing resonant frequencies that promote deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, and a profound sense of calm. It is worth the seven weeks just for this.

Why Men Only?
Many men who would benefit from yoga are put off by the typical male-to-female ratio in a standard class. My Saturday morning sessions provide a space where men can show up as complete beginners, find it difficult, ask questions, and not perform.
Kundalini Yoga has both masculine and feminine aspects — and a men-only environment allows both to be worked with more fully and honestly. My classes are open to all men and to those who identify as male.
