What to expect
I have been teaching at St Marks Hall for over 20 years. Classes are consistently well attended, all age groups are represented, and newcomers are always made to feel welcome.
Approximately 95% of current students began as complete beginners. Variations and modifications are offered throughout every class, allowing each student to practise safely and comfortably at their own level.
The hall offers plenty of free parking, beautiful flooring, underfloor heating, and ample space for every practitioner. If you are blessed with time, the hall opens 30 minutes before class for personal practice and quiet preparation.

What Students Say
“My husband and I have attended Gregory’s classes for the best part of 17 years now. He is a total inspiration and his classes are so much more than doing a bunch of postures. You leave feeling as though your entire being has been refreshed and renewed. His classes are completely different to anything else I have ever experienced since I started attending yoga classes 25 years ago. Thank you for all you do Greg.” Tonia Robertson
What Makes Bhānumatī Yoga Different?
Over the years I have combined influences from Sivananda Yoga, Anusara Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Jivamukti Yoga, and Yin Yoga with my own extensive personal practice. The result is a unique approach that I call Bhānumatī Yoga.
Bhānumati (भानुमती) means ‘Shining Like The Sun’
The practice is built upon four qualities that define genuine health and wellbeing:
Sthira – stability, balance, and structural integrity.
Sukha – ease of movement and freedom from unnecessary suffering.
Angalaghavam – lightness, agility, and the ability to move through life with grace and confidence.
Dvandvanabhighatah – resilience, adaptability, and the capacity to remain steady amidst change.
In practical terms, Bhānumatī Yoga aims to create a body that is strong, balanced, mobile, resilient, and free from pain. As physical restrictions dissolve, the mind naturally becomes calmer, energy flows more freely, and a deeper sense of wellbeing emerges.
Many students describe the experience as a coming home to themselves.
Shakti & Shiva
Bhānumatī Yoga follows a three-week cycle: two weeks of Bhānumati Shakti classes followed by one week of Bhānumatī Shiva classes.
Bhānumatī Shakti
Shakti represents movement, creativity, transformation, and vitality.
These classes are strong, flowing, dynamic, and energising. They challenge the body, stimulate energy, and encourage personal growth whilst maintaining a clear intention to calm the mind and relax the nervous system.
Bhānumatī Shiva
Shiva represents stillness, presence, wisdom, and inner stability.
These classes are slower, grounding, restorative, and deeply nourishing. Postures are held for longer periods, with particular attention given to the joints, connective tissues, and fascia. Students often leave feeling spacious, relaxed, and renewed.
The Union Of Shiva & Shakti
Shakti without Shiva can become chaotic. Shiva without Shakti can become stagnant.
Together they create balance.
Movement and stillness. Strength and softness. Energy and presence.
The union of Shiva and Shakti is the heart of Bhānumatī Yoga and reflects the balance we seek both on and off the mat.

Closing Thoughts
Cultivating better movement is more like sculpture than painting. We improve by taking away what is unnecessary rather than continually adding more.
Whether you are completely new to yoga or have been practising for many years, you are warmly welcome.
I look forward to sharing the journey with you.
With love and gratitude,
Gregory Angell
