DEMO · A pretend organiser. Book freely: no money moves and nobody is really booked. What is this?

About

Lantern Barn Collective is three facilitators who share one building and one booking page. We took on the barn in 2021 because we kept turning up at each other's classes and liked the idea of a place where yoga, sound and dance sat side by side.

Everything books from the What's on page: drop into a class, buy a monthly pass or a 10-class pack, join a course, come to a day workshop, or book a weekend away with us. If you're not sure where to start, the first yoga class is free and Priya's intro call costs nothing.

The three of us

Priya Nair · Yoga. Priya has taught yoga for twelve years, first in Leeds and now from the barn. Her classes are slow and precise: long holds, plenty of props, and an eye on how you feel rather than how it looks. Trained in Iyengar and yin, with extra training in pregnancy and postnatal yoga.

Theo Marsh · Sound. Theo came to sound through drumming and found the gong by accident at a festival. He now plays a set of three gongs, Himalayan and crystal bowls and a shruti box for monthly sound baths, day workshops and 1-to-1 sessions. Trained with the College of Sound Healing.

Mara Lindqvist · Dance. Mara has held a weekly conscious-dance wave for eight years. No steps, no choreography, nothing to get right: a two-hour journey through a playlist that moves from stillness to wildness and back. She runs the seasonal residential retreats and a five-day facilitator training.
