About Us
Manchester Yoga Central is best described as a peaceful grand warehouse retreat which is located within the ground floor of Victoria Warehouse Hotel ( next to Old Trafford Stadium). We originally opened in 2014. We are offering weekly yoga classes and holistic trainings and workshops most weekends.
Manchester Yoga Central aims to offer an experience of a retreat from everyday life. With tranquil smells, sights and sounds we provide an environment of calm and through the teachers guidance to body and breath those senses begin to withdraw to find a place deep within where true healing becomes possible.

Natalie Phillips
Natalie (Little Bamboo Yoga) discovered the practice of yoga, meditation and the art of primal movement through her curious mind which lead her to the heart of Bali, Indonesia where she was initiated into the practice after ten years of study and exploration. Her curiosity to this new sense of freedom awakened her to the power of the mind and body which continuously inspires her to continue celebrating and teaching this beautiful sacred practice. Natalie believes authentic expression is the key to navigating through obstacles and the beauty that life offers us, transmuting each layer of ourselves and learning to love all of it by tapping into these ancient practices.

with Nikki
Yin yang Yoga is a balanced class it’s begins with a yang energising flow which builds gradually to warm the body and create some inner heat. Perfect for increasing blood flow and vitality. The practice leads onto some yin postures which target specific meridian pathways and also self acupressure points for healing and balance.
The practice ends with a guided relaxation.
This practice is delivered by Nikki who combines her yogic knowledge with her training in shaitsu and TCM.

Primal Flow

with Natalie
​
Primal flow is the fusing of hatha yoga and vinyasa elements, a fluid approach to body-mind awareness all merged together to create a flavour of movement that is synchronised with the breath. The practise consists of pranayama to ground into your organic rhythm of breath, followed by deep meditation and yoga flow. This style of yoga is open to all levels, shapes and sizes.
Vinyasa Flow ( All/ Intermediate)
​
6.45 pm Monday Night 60 mins £8
​
with Nikki
Vinyasa syncs breath to movement. This class contains some pranayama, vinyasa flow yoga and a progressive relaxation.
It’s a little faster in pace and has a flowing continuous sequence which gradually builds. You are encouraged to work at your own level and alternatives of each asana is offered. This class improves breathing capacity, strength, balance and flexibility. With an eastern inspired sound track and candle light to enhance the feel and flow.
Gentle Flow into Meditation
​
6 pm Wednesday 75mins £8
with Sharon
The beauty of gentle flow is that you get to work through a choreographed sequence but you are encouraged to do so with a sense of calm, intention and attention.
It is so important to approach this practice with mindfulness and to connect not only to your breath but to also listen to the innate & inbuilt intelligence that our bodies already possess.
As we move through postures, we maybe stay there for 4 or 5 breaths but it's not about holding a rigid posture but rather exploring the pose and seeing how your body responds. It's all about making the pose work for your body at this very moment in time. Opening and closing, deepening and rising with the breath. Awakening to the more subtle layers within which radiate from our Dantien - our Centre of Gravity.
We will bring the practice to a close with a guided mindful meditation.
