Flow with Zo.
Friendly, mixed-level yoga classes in Bristol with Zoe Frances. Move with your breath, slow right down, and leave feeling more like yourself. All abilities welcome, especially beginners.
Hi, I'm Zoe. Movement is how I make sense of things.
I'm a Bristol yoga and movement teacher, trained in Vinyasa and Yin (200 hours) with Bristol School of Yoga. I came to yoga through movement and acting, so I love an embodied flow: practice that feels good from the inside, not one that has to look a certain way.
My classes usually bring the two styles together. We build warmth with a breath-led flow, then slow down into long, quiet Yin shapes. I often weave in a little yoga philosophy too, lightly, as something to take off the mat with you.
Most of all, I want class to feel like somewhere you belong. I'll ask how you are, I'll remember what you told me last time, and there's usually coffee afterwards.

Ways to practice
Every class is mixed-level. You'll always get a simpler option, a stronger option, and permission to rest.
Saturday Yoga Flow
My monthly community class. An unhurried Vinyasa flow that melts into Yin, followed by coffee together at Embers. Low-cost on purpose, because yoga is about connecting and cost shouldn't be a barrier.
- Monthly, Saturday morning
- River Room Studio, Westbury on Trym
- Tickets from £5
Weekly Vinyasa & Yin classes
Two weekly classes to build a regular practice: one Vinyasa flow to move and energise, and one Yin class to slow down and soften. Come to either, or both.
Coming soonWorkshops & evenings
Longer, slower sessions for when an hour isn't enough, with more time to move, rest and connect.
Coming soonFor workplaces
Yoga, breathwork and meditation for Bristol teams, built around regulating the nervous system: gentle movement for desk-bound bodies, simple breathwork and guided meditation.

Good questions
Everything people usually ask before a first class. Can't see yours? Just message me.
Ask me anythingWhere are Zoe Frances Yoga classes in Bristol?
My monthly Saturday Yoga Flow is at the River Room Studio in Westbury on Trym, north Bristol, with coffee together at Embers afterwards. Weekly Vinyasa and Yin classes are coming soon, and I also cover classes at other Bristol studios. The timetable on this page always has the latest.
Are your classes suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. Every class is mixed-level and I've taught lots of people on their very first time on a mat. I offer simpler options for each pose, and more to explore if you've been practising for years. You never need to keep up with anyone else.
What is the difference between Vinyasa and Yin yoga?
Vinyasa is a flowing practice where movement follows the breath, building warmth, strength and mobility. Yin is slow and still: floor-based shapes held for a few minutes so the body can soften and the mind can settle. I often teach both in one class, flowing first and finishing with Yin.
How much does a class cost?
The monthly Saturday Yoga Flow is a community class with tickets from £5, because cost shouldn't be a barrier to practising.
How do I book a yoga class?
Book the Saturday Yoga Flow online through Headfirst Bristol or Eventbrite. Spaces are limited, so booking ahead is the best way to save your spot. Weekly classes are coming soon.
Do I need to be flexible to do yoga?
Not at all. Flexibility is something that may come with practice, not something you need to start. Come as you are. The class is about how it feels, not how it looks.
What should I bring to class?
Wear something comfortable you can move in, and bring a yoga mat, water and a warm layer for the slower Yin part of class. If you don't have a mat, message me before class.
What is your cancellation policy?
Tickets can't be refunded within 24 hours of a class. Before then, get in touch and I'll help.
Do you offer yoga for workplaces in Bristol?
Yes. I run sessions for teams and offices in Bristol built around gentle movement, breathwork and meditation, designed to help desk-based people regulate their nervous system and reset during the working day. Get in touch to talk through what would suit your team.
