YOGA STUDIO OF THE YEAR WINNER · PRESTIGE AWARDS 2025 - 2026

The mental reset button that Leeds locals keep pressing

From frazzled to landed.

Let yourself soften

We envision a world where yoga belongs to everyone - the flexible, calm, and already-sorted as well as the tight, the tired, and the frazzled, because if you think you're too stiff, too busy, or too far gone - you’re in the right place. We’re a community ready to support you through every stage of life.

  • A very beautiful space with welcoming, friendly teachers. I've tried a couple of different classes and there really does seem to be a class for everyone / your needs as they change. It's a growing business with more classes and events being added to the schedule all the time - so even more choice! Excited to have Wellnest in Kirkstall, we've needed a place like this. See you on the mat ☀️

  • Amazing variety of sessions, a wonderful space for yoga practice. Great offers for memberships and events. My new favourite place to be. Top tip do the double yoga session on the Monday, energising vinyasa followed by deep restorative, pure bliss!! Thank you Wellnest

    — Oleta Forde

  • This is the loveliest yoga studio I have ever been to! It’s so welcoming and open. If you’re a beginner, it’s a particularly great yoga studio to join. When they say ‘child’s pose is welcome at any time’ they genuinely mean it and I’ve never felt out of place taking a breather if I’ve needed. 10/10 recommend everyone joins ❤️

    — Steph Guiblin

  • I really enjoyed the beginners yoga class, it was a gentle & welcoming introduction to yoga and wellnest. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in starting yoga for the first time, or returning after some time away from practice.

  • Could not recommend Wellnest more! The classes are fantastic and the instructors are amazing. There’s a great community spirit and I have always felt welcome.

  • Lovely friendly yoga studio (not just yoga). Peaceful beautiful decoration and lighting. Cold plunge bath for recovery. Great chill out area for before after class and very good value

    - Steven Inglis

  • Impossible to leave anything but a glowing review for this wonderful studio. Wellnest is an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment with an incredible team running classes that are accessible to all levels. I cannot express strongly enough how much the team and the classes have helped me navigate life's highs and lows.
