Ive been going to Sallys classes for about a year now and still get the same enjoyment and therapy from going each week. As someone who struggles with their joints/muscles/movement for medical reasons Sally always gives adaptions or options if I can’t quite manage certain things without being judgemental and also makes you feel inclusive. Even my consultant is encouraged to see the range of movement I’ve managed to maintain through certain flare ups. Apart from the physical side it helps mentally - giving you space for you to just “be” and breathe/relax and make time for yourself. Will always recommend Sally’s classes as a safe space to come to and practice.

Yoga and Embodied Movement for all

Wednesdays 6.15-7.20pm

with Sally

The perfect mid week pause, you will leave this calming class feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Your embodied slow flow practice is designed to held you build and regain strength as well as grow greater flexibility with dynamic and fluid stretches. We intersperse some traditional sequences, such as variations of sun salutations but we also include some more non-traditional sequences to build strength and also to promote good circulation of energy around the body. This class always involves the chance to experience a flowing sequence of yoga postures coordinated with the movement of the breath as well as some seated meditation. Flow creatively from one position to the next with movements subtly linked by your breath - a sure way to take you out of your head and into your body whilst building muscle strength and flexibility. Expect to find a combination of standing, balancing and seated postures, some pranayama (breath work) and challenging sections, but with options and modifications offered for all abilities, as well as opportunities to learn about yoga philosophy, the bridge between science and spirituality and much much more.

This is the most amazing yoga session…so different. Body and soul boost!
— Lorrie Marchington
Would thoroughly recommend this class- great for just concentrating & reconnecting with yourself & its not an intense “get this pose correct”. Sally is great at showing different ways of what you can achieve when your body isn’t quite capable (I have multi joint arthritis) and still able to participate
— Judy Wild

Flow & Restore

Wednesdays 7.40pm-8.40pm

with Sally

Move with softness, with intention and attention. Taking your time, you will flow from one position to the next, giving you the chance to truly feel and enjoy each pose and its effects. With a restorative element, this practice is the ultimate relaxation; an opportunity to slow down, take time for you and come back to yourself. Expect to find a mix of standing and seated postures.



Rise and Shine Yoga

Mondays 7.00am-7.50am

Friday 6.30am-7.20am

with Tasha


A dynamic vinyasa style yoga class where we will let go of our to do list and take time out, to check in and connect with our bodies.

During the session there will be periods of stillness as well as energising movements to get our energy flowing and mind focused for the day ahead.

We take some gentle movement and stretches in the body to ease away any tension and stress that has built up overnight and to get our energy moving.

This is a great way to decompress and head beautifully and gently into your day.

All classes are timed to get you on your train to work in time or in plenty time to start your working day.

 
 

Monday Morning Movement & Meditation

Mondays 9.15am-10.15am

with Tasha

This session takes in simple, nourishing movements to relax, connect, focus and ease into the week ahead. A gentle way to move into the week ahead, setting ourselves a positive intention through movement and meditation.

Nidra is also known as Yogic sleep, this is a simplified ancient relaxation technique which soothes the nervous system and allows the body to relax and release tension.

It is great for improving memory, concentration and sleep as well as a great way of alleviating stress.

Ts and Cs

A monthly rolling membership with no minimum fixed term.

Classes take place for a minimum of 48 weeks per calendar year. This entitles the teachers to 4 weeks of leave. This has been reflected within the monthly membership prices.

It is up to you to cancel your membership if you wish to. This can only be done from your confirmation email for your membership so please keep this email safe.

It is also up to you to schedule your classes from your membership. This cannot be done by either Sally or Tasha and must be done prior to attending class. This can be done from either your confirmation email (clicking on 'schedule' or from your unique code in your confirmation email for your membership).

Classes START at the advertised time.

Upon booking a session you are agreeing to attend that session. All attendees are expected to arrive at least 5 minutes before the session is due to start, as once the start time passes, entry may not be possible. The door will be locked for security, and for this reason, once the session starts, you may not be able to gain entry. By booking, you are agreeing to arrive before the session is due to start so we can begin on time. Late arrivals will not be permitted entry. If the venue is new to you, or you are not sure where you’re going, leave extra time in your journey or check out the route beforehand.

If you cancel more than 4 hours before the class starts you are entitled to a class credit on your account, or your booking moved to a different date. PLEASE EMAIL at sally@wellnesswithsally.com TO CANCEL OR MOVE YOUR BOOKING, as the system will cancel your booking without crediting you back.

If you cancel less than 4 hours before the class starting, there will be no credit added and your booking cannot be transferred.

 
 

What are others saying?

Sally is such a passionate and knowledgable teacher and brings something different to her yoga classes. She has expansive knowledge across many different disciplines which I find fascinating. I always come away having learnt something new.

I have attended some workshops and started to more regularly attend her evening class at Riverside Wellbeing in Whaley Bridge.

The space is always so pretty, welcoming and smells beautiful.

It’s lovely to feel transcended to a different dimension, in a good way :-)
— Sally Rivers
Without a doubt one of the best decisions I ever made was to come to one of Sally’s classes. Sally offers a safe space, free from all judgement and so welcoming. I can honestly say that Sally’s teachings have changed my life both physically and mentally, and I am so grateful. I cannot recommend working with Sally enough, she is a beautiful soul and a knowledgeable teacher.
— Emma Wilson
Sally is warm and welcoming and her classes are inclusive and non judgemental as well as varied and fun. She is encouraging and intuitive in her approach and there is always something for everyone in class. The space at Riverside is perfect for yoga classes and I’ve really felt the benefits of stretches, breathwork and learning to meditate on both my physical and mental wellbeing. I feel stronger and more flexible than before and at the end of a class feel both energised yet calm. I have the best night of sleep of the week after yoga on Mondays!
I love the soundtracks that accompany and inspire our practice, too.

Would highly recommend - it’s been the best thing I’ve done for myself this year.
— Tracy Grundy
I chose to book onto Sally’s course so that I could use the 8 week block of classes as an anchor point, at a time when every aspect of my life was providing me with challenge and uncertainty. What I gained from doing so was well beyond my expectations. I have attended many yoga classes in the past; Vinyasa, Iyenga, Ashtanga, Hatha, and Yin. All of which provided me with insight and growth, but nothing on the scale of what I gained from my classes with Sally.
Sally is clearly a well educated therapeutic practitioner who invests a lot of herself into understanding and practicing techniques that are good for the body, mind and soul to heal. Every single week I came out of the class feeling like I had reconnected to my own body and inner knowing. I realigned with my true self, which led to an improvement in my decision making, my authenticity outside of the yoga space, and feeling confident and assertive in ways that have felt new to me.
Before I started the course, I felt as though I was swimming in stormy waters of uncertainty, just well enough to keep my lips to the surface for air. It was as though Sally came along with a terrific boat, told me to pull myself on to it, and taught me how to sail back to my inner knowing.
Sally uses techniques I have never experienced before but I could sense how much my body loved them, especially the heal tapping. There were plentiful opportunities to listen to your body and move freely, something that I resisted initially but quickly came to love.
Sally incorporates the seasons, the moon, hindu god mantras, song, and much more to help us counteract the habitual behaviours and mental cycles we find ourselves stuck in. This class was one of the most liberating and important experiences of my life, and I will be back again.
— Dee Ashcroft
Sally has an amazing style, teaching in a way that is inclusive and accessible to everyone. Each class explores a different approach. The classes are both energising and fun and help to clear the mind and nourish the body, and Sally has a great sound track
