FIND YOUR FLOW:

We’re always asking the question, what does it mean to learn today? For some, it’s textbooks and timetables. For others, it’s sweat, breath and stillness. Learning doesn’t just happen in classrooms, it lives in the body, in the breath, in the brave act of slowing down.

‍
Yoga is one of the world’s oldest learning systems, tracing back over 5,000 years to the Indus Valley Civilisation. It evolved through sacred Vedic texts and meditative rituals, creating a path not just for physical strength, but for spiritual clarity and emotional resilience.

‍
Fast forward to the modern day: over 1.2 million people in the UK practice yoga every month. With 10,000 teachers guiding the way, yoga continues to grow not as a trend, but as a timeless invitation to know yourself.
‍

Let’s head to Sandbach, to a studio where this ancient practice finds a modern heartbeat.

‍

Welcome to Ashtanga Cheshire Studios (ACS), a light-filled, soulful sanctuary where movement becomes meditation and community feels like home.

‍
Founded by beloved yoga teacher Calum Thomson (@ashtangacheshire) and wellness expert Kelly Mason, ACS opened its doors in August 2024 and has already made waves. Named Best Yoga & Pilates Studio in Cheshire by Muddy Stilettos, the studio is a space to learn, unlearn, and simply be.

‍
Inside, you’ll find weekly classes in Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin and Classical Mat Pilates led by some of the most grounded and gifted teachers in the region. Whether you're a total beginner or a seasoned yogi, there’s space for you to move at your own pace.

‍
But ACS doesn’t stop at the mat. Their offerings include:

‍
• Kids Yoga & Family Sessions for the summer slowdown
• Pre & Postnatal Classes launching September 2025
• Sound Baths, Yoga Workshops & Life Drawing to blend creativity with consciousness
• Seasonal Plant-Based Supper Clubs that nourish body and soul

For those ready to go deeper, ACS leads international yoga retreats immersive experiences in nature, stillness, and presence. And their fully accredited Yoga Teacher Training program is the next step for anyone ready to transform their practice into purpose.

"We created ACS to bring city-level teaching and soulful energy to our community," says Calum. "It’s not just a studio, it’s a place to come home to yourself."

‍
In a world that’s constantly rushing, ACS invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and begin again. Namaste.
