The teachers
Four people who’d rather you went slowly.
Everyone here teaches several classes a week, so you’ll get to know them quickly. Tell them about any injuries, aches or a pregnancy before class and they’ll adjust things for you.
Founder, yoga
Hannah Reid
Opened Fernlea in 2017 in the old wool store on Mill Yard. Her classes are slow and steady, with time to settle into each pose and a long rest at the end.

Yoga teacher since 2012. 500 hours of training, most of it in yin and slow vinyasa.
