Meet Mark Bell

Mark has been teaching yoga in Yarm and across Cleveland for over twenty years. He came to yoga as a busy father in his late thirties — and quickly discovered it was the steadying force he'd been missing. He's been sharing it ever since.

He teaches Hatha, Power and Ashtanga, drawing on traditional lineages while adapting every class to the actual people in the room. New mums, retirees, athletes, desk-bound office workers with grumpy backs — all welcome.

What students come back for, week after week, is the warmth. Classes that feel personal. A teacher who knows your name and your dodgy knee. A proper local academy — not a slick chain.

What yoga will do for you

Real changes in how you feel

These aren't promises — they're what Mark's students report, again and again, after a few weeks of regular practice.

Move More Freely

Loosen up tight hips, shoulders and backs — and feel it in your day-to-day.

Build Strength & Stability

Steady, functional strength from the inside out — no gym required.

Reduce Everyday Stress

Slow the breath, settle the nervous system, leave the week behind.

Improve Posture

Stand taller, sit better, undo the damage of long days at a desk.

Boost Energy Levels

Wake the body up properly — most people leave feeling lighter.

Sleep Better

A regular practice helps the mind switch off when it's time to rest.
