YOGA

Do you find it hard to switch off? Feel stressed? Feel tired all the time? Is your body tight and achy?
I offer a unique blend of somatic movement, yoga, and breath-based practices to release tension, soothe your nervous system, and help you feel calmer, stronger, and more confident in your body and mind - so you can move through life with greater ease.

Each half term, I offer a somatic yoga course in our welcoming spaces - The Swansea Wellbeing Centre and Upper Killay Community Hall.
Alongside these regular classes, there’ll be a small number of retreats throughout the year - spacious, restorative days to pause, reconnect, and be part of a supportive yoga community. You’re warmly invited to join us.

Welcome to Joanna Rose Yoga
I offer weekly yoga classes in Swansea at the Wellbeing Centre and Upper Killay Community Hall, where we’ve grown a supportive, welcoming community. I also run day retreats, pop-up outdoor sessions, and work with private 1:1 clients, schools, and local organisations.
My classes weave together somatic movement, yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, and compassion practices to support your physical health, emotional wellbeing, and nervous system regulation. Each class offers a blend of nourishing movement, stillness, and guided rest that’s designed to care for your whole self—body, mind, and heart.
We move in ways that ease tension, gently hydrate tissues and joints, and help unwind habitual patterns of holding - like tight shoulders or a clenched jaw - so your body can feel more responsive and at ease in everyday life.
These sessions offer more than just exercise. They’re an opportunity to reconnect, breathe deeply, and care for yourself with compassion, presence, and intention. Rather than focusing on how a pose looks, we focus on how movement feels -so you can move at your own pace and listen to what your body truly needs. This kind, grounded approach builds strength without strain, improves balance and mobility, and supports your body’s natural ability to heal and regulate itself. Many people leave class feeling more at home in themselves - better able to rest, move with ease, and meet life’s inevitable ups and downs with steadiness and resilience.

“When you rest in a sense of being—rather than constantly doing—your brain can grow new pathways for peace, contentment, and love.”
Rick Hanson
What is Somatic Yoga?
Joanna Rose Somatic yoga is a gentle but powerful practice that blends traditional yoga, restorative poses, and breath-led, body-aware movement. Rather than aiming for perfect poses, you're invited to slow down, move with curiosity, and tune into how your body feels from within. This approach helps release deep tension, calm the nervous system, and support natural strength, flexibility, and posture. Grounded in compassion and presence, it’s a nourishing way to reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re coping with tight shoulders, low-level anxiety, or just longing for a kinder, wiser approach to movement, somatic yoga offers a nourishing path back to ease. No prior experience required - just a willingness to slow down and notice.

Because being is more than enough.
