Rise & Breathe: Saturday Morning Yoga at Netley Abbey

  • Netley Abbey Abbey Hill Southampton, England, SO31 5FB United Kingdom (map)

This summer, we’re inviting you to wake up slowly, move gently, and start your Saturday feeling good in one of the most atmospheric spaces in the South.

Held within the ancient stone ruins of Netley Abbey, an English Heritage site full of history, light, and quiet magic - this monthly Saturday morning yoga session is about awakening your body and uplifting your energy, without rushing or forcing anything.

Led by Leoni, this is a soft, accessible practice open to everyone — no yoga experience needed.

Think grounding rather than sweaty. Energising rather than exhausting. It’s a chance to land in your body, clear your head, and set the tone for the day ahead.

What to expect

You’ll arrive as the morning light fills the Abbey ruins, birdsong echoing through the stone and the space gently coming alive. Surrounded by open sky and centuries of history, Leoni will guide you through mindful movement and breathwork designed to awaken the body, steady the mind, and lift your mood.

The pace is calm and intentional, with space to breathe, stretch, and reconnect. Practising here hits different and you’ll leave feeling refreshed, open, and quietly energised, ready to carry that ease into the rest of your weekend.

Please bring

  • Your own yoga mat

  • Water

  • An extra layer for warmth (mornings can be fresh)

Need to know

  • Please arrive 10 mins early to allow time to settle in (we start at 9:30am)

  • Free parking is limited so lift sharing is encouraged

  • All bodies and all levels welcome — always

This collaboration with English Heritage allows us to share Netley Abbey in a new way — welcoming the day with movement, breath, and presence, while honouring the beauty of this historic space.

Gentle movement. Morning light. A really good start.
We can’t wait to practise with you.
