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 people who want a kinder, less strenuous practice. Many regulars have been coming for years; new students are warmly welcomed.

Carey Baptist Church

Carey Baptist Church sits on Marlowes in central Hemel Hempstead, a short walk from the bus station. The room used for yoga is warm and quiet, and Penny keeps each class a comfortable size — never crammed.

Getting there

• By bus: Hemel Hempstead bus station is a few minutes' walk away; many town routes also stop along Marlowes itself. Check Intalink for current timetables.
• By car: Carey Baptist has a small car park at the front, subject to availability (see the Carey Baptist Church site). The Marlowes Car Park is a short walk away (PayByPhone, charged until 6pm).
• By train: from Hemel Hempstead station, regular buses run every 15 minutes (about 8 minutes' journey), or it's roughly a 20-minute walk through Heath Park.

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.
