Outdoor Yoga with Sam at Knowlton Church & Earthworks
There’s something pretty special about practicing yoga in a place that’s been holding space for centuries.
Set within the ancient grounds of Knowlton Church and Earthworks, this slow, functional Yang/Yin class invites you to move, breathe, and properly switch off in one of the most peaceful, atmospheric spots in Dorset.
We’ll gather as the evening softens for a true sundowner session, surrounded by open fields, ancient earthworks, and the quiet presence of the old church ruins. It’s a space that naturally encourages stillness, reflection, and connection.
What to expect
This is your midweek reset. Calm, grounding, and quietly powerful.
Sam will guide you through a beautifully balanced practice, blending slow, intentional Yang movement with longer, deeply restorative Yin holds.
Expect a gentle, functional flow to build warmth in the body, followed by slower Yin postures designed to release tension and encourage stillness. There will always be options, so you can move in a way that works for your body, with space to pause, breathe, and settle.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with no pressure or expectations, just an opportunity to feel good.
