Welcome to Studio One Yoga, in our opinion the best yoga studio in the area!

Our studio was born entirely by accident after Michelle had been teaching yoga alongside studying for a PhD at Leeds University.

Having taught since 2006, Michelle moved to Standish and set up classes in village halls and community centres, quickly developing a student base due to the complete accessibility of her classes; there was no need to have the ‘right’ equipment or the best leggings, you simply turn up as the real, human version of you! Whether you burst out laughing in your first class, fall over from a balance or realise halfway through you’ve got your shirt on inside out, that’s fine by us. This culture that has bled into the ongoing success of Studio One.

The studio itself was opened in March 2014 by none other than Roberto Martinez and we have gone from strength to strength every year (we’re pretending COVID didn’t mess things up for a while!).

The building you practice in each week was lovingly renovated by Michelle and her family with every last penny of her savings (and a credit card or two!) which means that there is pure love, sweat and tears that makes Studio One the space it is and is proof of the passion we have to help each and every one of our students find a bit of peace and quiet, strengthen their body, develop a new skill or simply find a new social circle.

Far beyond the edges of the mat Studio One Yoga has created a community from in and around Standish that can take part in social events, walking clubs, nights out and more. Yoga is not just practised on a rubber mat!

FUN FACT: Once upon a time Michelle was a contestant on The Chase; when asked what she’d do with the money if she won, her answer: “open a yoga studio!” (she didn’t win btw!)

Proof that visualisation and manifestation really do help to make dreams come true…so whether you’re joining us because you’re rehabbing from an injury or looking to find an hour away from the kids you’re welcome here.
