The class

Each session lasts 75 minutes and combines simple breathwork, mindful movement and gentle Hatha Yoga postures, finishing with a guided relaxation. The pace is unhurried and modifications are offered throughout, so the class suits beginners, returners and anyone who wants a kinder, less strenuous practice. Many regulars have been coming for years; new students are warmly welcomed.

The Court House

The Court House is a quiet, warm hall on Church Lane in central Berkhamsted, a short walk from the High Street and the castle. Penny's class is held in a ground-floor, carpeted room, so access is step-free and there is always ample space — Penny never crams students in. The venue has an accessible entrance and a disabled toilet.

Getting there

• By train: about a ten-minute walk along the High Street from Berkhamsted station (London Euston line).
• By car: there is limited free parking outside the hall (see the Court House venue page). For the Monday evening class, the Water Lane car park behind Tesco is free after 6pm. The Lower Kings Road multi-storey is also a short walk away (PayByPhone).
• By bus: several routes serve Berkhamsted High Street, two minutes' walk from Church Lane — evening service is limited, so check Intalink for current timetables.

What to bring

• A yoga mat.
• Loose, comfortable clothing you can move in.
• A blanket if you have one — useful for the relaxation at the end.

Blocks and straps can be helpful but are not essential, especially for the first few classes.

Pricing and booking

Classes are £12 per session and are booked as a block (typically one term at a time). If you are new to the class, Penny offers a one-off trial session so you can try a class before committing. Get in touch by email or phone to arrange a trial or to ask any questions.
