Tuesday lunchtime & afternoon · Hemel Hempstead
Gentle Yoga at Leverstock Green Village Hall
Two friendly gentle Hatha Yoga classes each Tuesday at Leverstock Green Village Hall, in the village just east of Hemel Hempstead. 12:30pm to 1:45pm and 2:00pm to 3:15pm, taught by BWY-qualified teacher Penny Cronyn since 2004. £10 per session, booked as a block.
The classes
Each session lasts 75 minutes and combines simple breathwork, mindful movement and gentle Hatha Yoga postures, finishing with a guided relaxation. The two classes share a similar shape, so you can pick whichever time suits your week best. Both groups are warm and welcoming; modifications are offered throughout, so the classes work for beginners, returners and anyone who wants a kinder practice.
Leverstock Green Village Hall
The village hall sits on the green at the heart of Leverstock Green, surrounded by the war memorial, the church and the village pubs. The hall is bright and warm, with a wooden floor that is comfortable for yoga mats, plus chairs available for any seated work or rest.
Getting there
- By car: there is free parking on the green and along surrounding lanes. The hall is signposted from the green.
- By bus: Leverstock Green is served by local Hemel Hempstead bus routes; the village stops are a short walk from the hall.
- By bike: easy cycling from much of Hemel Hempstead and Bovingdon.
What to bring
- A yoga mat (a few spares are usually available if you forget yours).
- Loose, comfortable clothing you can move in.
- A blanket if you have one — useful for the relaxation at the end.
Pricing and booking
Classes are £10 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. The two Tuesday slots can fill quickly for the lunchtime group, so it is worth asking about availability early in the term.
