A Family-Run Yoga Studio on the Haven Beach in Tynemouth
We are privileged to practice our yoga at Tynemouth Sailing Club on The Haven beach next to Tynemouth Priory. Enjoying exquisite views across the sea, we practice both inside and on our spacious roof terrace. The studio is easily accessible with parking directly outside and a large free car park close by.
At Jasmine Yoga we are committed to creating a warm and welcoming environment regardless of your yoga experience. The local surroundings play a huge part in our yoga classes; the sounds of the sea, soothing music and candles bring a sense of peace and calm to our practice. During the summer months and during our early morning dawn classes we practice outdoors both on our roof terrace and King Edwards Bay.
Our Timetable includes a range of Vinyasa Flows, moving in rhythmic, breath to movement sequences. We also offer more gently flowing and restorative classes integrating quiet Yin poses. Several of our classes are perfect for those new to yoga too. Our early morning roof practices are the perfect start to your day, beginning at sunrise in warm weather. We also offer creative longer classes and events each month to promote a sense of friendship and fun in our yoga community.
You can follow us on Facebook and Instagram where we regularly share news, special events and new classes.
The Benefits of Yoga

At Jasmine Yoga we practice a flowing style of yoga, named Vinyasa, which invites you to move your body in time to your breath in flowing sequences. We believe in a practice which respects individual uniqueness and range of life experience, which includes injury and illness. Our teachers have a competent knowledge of physical anatomy enabling us to teach with skill and sensitivity.
We have a strong commitment to yoga philosophy & respect for yoga's history; we teach in a way that invites yoga values of non- competitiveness, kindness and authenticity. You'll always be treated with warmth and respect.

There are far reaching physical, mental and emotional benefits to be enjoyed and gained from regular yoga practice. It particularly enhances strength, flexibility, coordination and balance.
Regular yoga practice is beneficial for people with high blood pressure, heart disease, aches and pains, particularly lower back pain. Yoga practitioners often report significant improvements in joint mobility and general wellbeing. Improved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga, however, we also encourage a practice which strengthens the body too; these together help to protect against injury.
For athletes and those who like to benefit from deep stretching, we offer weekly Yin classes. This places emphasis on holding long passive stretches for up to five minutes. This style of yoga is very popular with those who participate in regular energetic sport. The quiet style of Yin yoga can bring its own challenges particularly in quietening a busy mind, but once understood, this can feel extremely satisfying and calming.

In addition to physical benefits, most yoga practitioners also experience significant improvements in mental and emotional wellbeing. It can help ease depression, low mood and anxiety, it can calm a busy hectic mind, and bring a sense of balance and tranquillity.
Yoga can also have a significant impact on self - esteem. The yoga philosophy teaches us to accept and respect ourselves and others As you notice your body gaining in strength and flexibility, and you begin to feel calmer and more balanced, you may experience much greater self-respect and acceptance.
We offer Restorative Yoga and Gentle Flow classes which bring a calm and peaceful practice, to ease the mind while gently stretching the body, in a thoughtful relaxed environment, including blankets, bolsters and soft music.
