Uyen Yoga & Meditation and Mindfulness Club in Ascot
Yoga Teacher in Ascot, Berkshire
Stuart Having never done yoga before I was a bit anxious about signing up with Uyen. However, her teaching style and the things we cover in class are just right. She is a true professional with a lovely personal style which connects really well with all in the class. I was really struggling to sleep due to some medication I was taking but once I’ve had 90 mins in one of her classes I am completely relaxed and sleep brilliantly.
Martin I am having private yoga and meditation sessions with Uyen to help me both physically and mentally following a personal tragedy. I have found the sessions invaluable….they are challenging (in a good way), relaxing and educational. The whole environment is totally calming.
Olivia My daughter loves yoga and meditation but was struggling to find like-minded peers and age-appropriate sessions until we discovered Uyen on Facebook. Her North-Ascot garden cabin takes you to another world – it’s really quite magical. Uyen is quite magical too – rarely does one meet some one so calm, gentle, beautiful (inside and out) and committed. She provides a good mix of meditation, yoga and other imaginative, holistic touches. Nice to see a diverse group – boys and girls, different nationalities – who probably wouldn’t have otherwise come together. It would be impossible not to benefit from attending.
Lianne Tiley Uyen is a thoughtful and skilled Yoga and Meditation teacher, she brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Practice of Mindfulness in her Sessions – with all its benefits. Her sessions are a perfect balance between exercise and relaxation, that helps me stay balanced and move through daily chores with ease; while at the same time bringing back a range of movement and connectedness with myself. Uyen has made a positive difference to my Quality of Life.

Uyen is the loveliest person! When I first joking her class I was really struggling with my own mental health. But since joining it’s made me become so much happier in every day life. I always leave the class feeling really down to earth and energised! Ready to start my day. I recommend Uyen’s classes she’s helped me so so much and now I’m starting to feel so much better!
Uyen provided a private class for me and 4 of my friends. The class was excellent and I would recommend the practice to anyone thinking of taking a class with Uyen.
She tailored the class to our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you Uyen! We hope to be back!
Uyen gave a small group of us a wonderful private session for our friend’s hen do. I practise ‘at home’ yoga but Uyen’s session was really interesting and much better than an online yoga class; I felt like I learnt lots about practising yoga and really enjoyed Uyen’s style of teaching. I felt calm and energised by the class. Uyen is so lovely and warm as a teacher. Thank you Uyen!
I have just enjoyed a 5 week introductory course to yoga and meditation with Uyen and as a total newcomer, I found the experience a total pleasure. Uyen was very welcoming and friendly, and she introduced me to the theory and benefits of meditation with care and attention. A positive and worthwhile experience.
We were looking for a yoga instructor for our son who has Tourette’s syndrome. We started with Uyen and could not be happier. She is engaging, patient, and amazing. My son love attending her class and she always makes him smile. We highly recommend her.
I have been doing the online beginner meditation class since the first lockdown and have found Uyen such a pleasure to learn from. Her knowledge and enthusiasm and her sunny disposition makes it easy to listen and learn. I feel I have achieved so much personally and will continue to learn to do so. Lovely person
Uyen is wonderful! When I signed up to learn Yoga with Uyen I didn’t realise the spirituality Yoga can possess. Uyen certainly taps into body and mind and takes you slowly through the importance of breathing and body awareness. Her sessions are like a journey to a better place, that will stick with you for a lifetime. She is creative, patient, kind, and a wonderful host. She also listens to your needs and designs her lessons accordingly. She also goes above and beyond creating a special relationship with each of her clients, providing videos to continue the journey at home. What an experience, and a lovely person!
I really enjoy learning and practising Yoga with Uyen. I have recently joined the Breakfast Club and it gets me out of bed and moving in a gentle but effective way. Uyen is brilliant at explaining which ligaments and muscles we are using and how to use them in a safe way. I love practising at her studio, but whilst this situation continues its still a great way to keep moving, be aware of looking after your mind and body.
Over the last two months it has been a real treat attending Uyen’s 4-week course on ‘Awakening & releasing tension on face, head, neck, organs for better breathing, movements and releasing emotions’. Each time I would leave my normal routines and concerns on Uyen’s doorstep and emerge two hours later with a new perspective and sense of peace. Particularly useful for me was focusing on the face and neck to release tension in the voice. Breathing into the different parts of the lungs is an exquisitely gentle exercise. Loved it!
I felt that age was creeping up on me and getting fitter and running was making me feel stiffer and I needed to find a way to improve my flexibility. Uyen’s classes have done this but have given me so much more they don’t just practise yoga positions but really help you learn the association between brain and body, I always leave feeling I have learnt something new around how my body works or moves. I also feel that I leave feeling a million times better in body and mind, This gives me more energy, sleep and a calmness to approach the rest of the week. Uyen is genuinely interested and invested in supporting and helping her clients, which makes it feel that you get a class and new friendships along the way. I highly recommend, it has become my weekly way to look after myself.
I am on an ongoing programme of yoga and meditation with Uyen. She provides an exceptional service, enhancing well-being of the body and mind. Her sessions are extremely well thought through, tailored to individual needs, educational and fun. Highly recommended.
Uyen’s classes were a great discovery for me and opened up a whole new way of experiencing my body and emotions. I have become more aware of what goes on physically and emotionally and have started to respond to difficulties with a more gentle care. As a result I feel more rested and have found a new sense of ease. These classes are special!
The weekly yoga and meditation session that I attend on Friday mornings at Uyen’s studio involves slow and gentle movements which help me focus my mind on my body and my breathing. Uyen’ s gentle instructions lead me through each step and I end the sessions feeling up-lifted and happy.
Never really enjoyed yoga before but loving Uyen’s yoga and meditation classes. Look forward to going every week with my daughter and definitely feel better for going. Yuen is a great teacher. Always so positive and encouraging, really helpful for each student. Definitely recommend.
Five stars Uyen is highly experienced and takes every one through at their own pace. A wonderful yoga experience and beautiful meditation at the end of each session too
My daughter loves yoga and meditation but was struggling to find like-minded peers and age-appropriate sessions until we discovered Uyen on Facebook. Her North-Ascot garden cabin takes you to another world – it’s really quite magical. Uyen is quite magical too – rarely does one meet some one so calm, gentle, beautiful (inside and out) and committed.

Our 9 year old daughter has started childrens yoga and meditation with Uyen. She suffers from autism and high anxiety and we expected it to be challenging for her… It wasn’t! She had a wonderful first session and Uyen connected with her in her gentle, calm and warm way, we could almost see the anxiety melting away. All of the children were lovely and welcoming and each focussed on getting as much as they could out of the session. We are thrilled and it has become part of our week.
After quite a few years of meditating on my own, I attended one of Uyen’s group meditation sessions. Transformative experience and would highly recommend. Uyen has a positive and friendly energy which really helped me. I look forward to future yoga and meditation with he
My teenage daughter and I are one month into a yoga and meditation class with Uyen. We love it! Uyen has a lovely gentle manner and is very patient especially with us novices. With each week we are gaining a greater appreciation of the benefits of yoga to both mind and body. I sleep like a baby after the Thursday evening session!
Having never done yoga before I was a bit anxious about signing up with Uyen. However, her teaching style and the things we cover in class are just right. She is a true professional with a lovely personal style which connects really well with all in the class.
I was really struggling to sleep due to some medication I was taking but once I’ve had 90 mins in one of her classes I am completely relaxed and sleep brilliantly.
I have been practising Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness privately with Uyen for 1 year now. The whole experience, from the environment and facilities that she provides through to the tailored practises and lessons she crafts is truly first class. It is plain to see the effort and caring that goes into providing this service to meet the individual needs. I cannot recommend enough.
I have been doing yoga for many years and have been working with Uyen for some time now. Despite my experience Uyen suggested that I try her ‘Back to Basics’ 16 week beginners yoga and meditation class as I had picked up some bad yoga habits. I was a little sceptical but she couldn’t have been more right. Uyen has helped me to practice yoga properly for the first time and has taught me how to really connect with my body in a way I hadn’t realised I needed. She is the best yoga teacher I have ever had, so calm and soothing, which makes her guided meditations utterly peace-inducing.
Uyen is a teacher of all things yoga and meditation – she doesn’t just show you the postures, she explains how they should feel, why you are doing them, and what benefits they will brings – it is a genuine yoga education.
I would recommend this 16 week course to anyone who wants to know more about yoga and feels compelled to practice it in a way that will bring the true benefits yoga and meditation have to offer.
I am new to Yoga, and a little nervous, Uyen made me welcome and instantly put me at ease. Her patience and understanding and vast knowledge of Yoga and the body will no doubt help strengthen my core and weak back and improve my posture. The breathing and meditation has already taught me so much, and the cuddle with Suki the cat is always a welcome extra.
I very much look forward to Meditation sessions with Uyen. Her teaching has enabled me to
find a sense of balance and stillness which I can take with me outside of the class.
Uyen is attentive to the individual, she takes time to personalise the practice to your needs.
Her teaching enables you to really listen to your body using breathing techniques, movement and visualisation.
Sessions are accessible for all, whether you are new to mindfulness or looking to further develop
meditative practice.
I’ve been seeing Uyen for about 5 months now and love her class! I really look forward to Thursday evenings it’s the night I get the best sleep. Uyen has really helped me connect to my own body and given me strength and confidence. And at the end of the class there is meditation which I really enjoy, sometimes even in the form of a bed time story! Then I just wander home and drift off to sleep. This class is really good for overall well-being and feeling nice, not just downward dog and warrior pose. Thank you Uyen!
I have been practicing yoga with Uyen for over a year now. The classes are small, a maximum of 8 people. The classes are set in a beautiful location that inspires peace and tranquillity. Uyen is an amazing teacher, patient, incredibly kind and gentle. She takes the time to explain and demonstrate each movement and also the benefits to each part of the body.
The beginners course is an excellent starting point for anyone who is starting out on their journey. The classes have been incredibly beneficial to me with flexability, balance, strength, relaxation and a sense of calmness. Thank you so much Uyen xx
I’ve been practicing yoga with Uyen for nearly a year with one to one sessions. I recently started the amazing Strength and Restoration Sessions on a Sunday. As usual Uyen makes practice fun whilst pushing you to take that extra step. It is amazing how she gets you to re-connect your mind and body during the sessions and you leave feeling clam, centred and strong. I totally recommend these sessions. Excellent!
I have been practicing with Uyen for several months now and it has been a revelation. I have practiced yoga with several teachers in the past, some better then others, but they all had a relatively similar attitude to yoga. Uyen has a completely different aproach. Her practice is much more natural to me, concentrating on enhancing my natural physical and mental well being, rather then trying to teach me posses or sequences. Thank you very much Uyen.
I have now been attending classes with Uyen for about 18 months. I definitely feel stronger and more flexible, as well as calmer in my day to day life. I have had lower back problems for many years, and have been suffering recently. Uyen tailored a class to focus on pelvic stability, and I noticed a difference the next day in that I was far less stiff and my pain had reduced. Uyen takes the time to understand those attending her classes to enable maximum benefit. The classes are small and friendly, and I look forward to them each week. It’s the longest I have continued with yoga classes, and am so glad I have!
Uyen is a knowledgable teacher and clearly passionate about making people understand themselves, both body and mind, with the benefit of her guidance. Her classes are relaxing and friendly. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming.
After just 5 sessions I am feeling the benefits. I am more supple, developing muscle definition and feel calmer and more relaxed. Uyen is a brilliant yoga teacher. Very calm and caring. Classes are small so attention is very individual. Uyen is very motivational and helps everyone develop at their own pace in a very soothing relaxed atmosphere.
Uyen yoga is a delightful experience. Uyen is a warm, friendly & skilled teacher. sessions are fun, relaxing & you will feel fabulous! highly recommend.
If you feel that you need a balance in your life and improve your health these joga classes with Uyen are amazing and will change your life completely.
I highly recommend Uyen as a joga teacher who loves with all her heart what she is doing. You can feel her kindness and love and harmony. I believe that evry joga teacher should be like Uyen)))
Love her very much!!!
You will feel completed after every lesson and full of energy!!!
I’ve been practicing yoga with Uyen for 10 weeks now and I feel completely different. Much calmer and certainly taller! We never seem to do the same thing twice and I am constantly learning new things. She makes practice fun whilst pushing you to take that extra step. She is also warm and has a sense of humour which is great. I would totally recommend her to anyone out there looking for a teacher. Excellent!
I have practised Yoga with Uyen now for nearly 8 months and I can honestly say I feel much more balanced in both mind and body. I feel stronger also and love how each week Uyen brings new and fun things to the class as she has such a passion for what she does and they way in which she lives her life. A true inspiration.
Uyen is a fantastic yoga instructor. I attend a group class once a week. It is a small intimate group and is the perfect way to practise yoga. Uyen’s ‘can do’ attitude is so inspiring and she uses a lot of imigary and creativity to help us learn the poses. Uyen makes each session fun & exciting and you don’t realise how hard you’ve actually worked until you ache the next day! I always look forward to my yoga sessions with her. She also does a fantastic relaxation & meditation section at the end which is fabulous! As a really nice touch at the end Uyen gives us fresh orange or some nuts or cup of herbal tea, which is such a lovely touch. She genuinely cares about the people attending her class and is so friendly, warm and welcoming. She is a fantastic teacher and I would highly recommend her classes.
I have had a bad experience of yoga classes where the movements are so difficult to do and keep up with. I am so thankful to have found Uyen. She is so warm, friendly and patient. She takes the time to explain the movements and look after the individual persons needs. It is so good to experience the holistic benefits of yoga.
i started having yoga lessons with Uyen Sept 17 after having a good few years break away from yoga, i’m sure you can well imagine just how rusty i was. Uyen is a fantastic yoga instructor, so passionate and very encouraging. the class is small which I found very calming. The class is meant to be for 1 . 5 hours, Uyen is so kind we always go way over time (2 hours), the meditation is wonderful at the end of the session, followed by a piece of fruit and in the winter a hot drink.
Had a fantastic first session with Uyen yesterday. She is a very clam and clear teacher. I felt totally different at the end of the session. Really looking forward to future sessions!
Uyen was clear and methodical with her descriptions and explanations of the yoga moves. This is just what I am looking for in a yoga teacher as I would prefer to spend time getting the form, breathing and posture just perfect. In this regard, Uyen has loads of patience, and she certainly knows her stuff. Her breathing is amazing, and I’d like to emulate it one day, but understand it takes years of practice. She is also highly focused on the individual and their specific requirements.
Really pleased to have found Uyen. All the information she provided in advance of my first class was really useful and I found her communication style really welcoming. I’ve had a poor class experience of Yoga but know it’s the right form of exercise for an unfit out of shape office worker. The class is small/intimate. Uyen explains the theory as well as helping you with the pose – recognising personal ability and making you feel like you’re making a good start. Time flew by – loved the meditation at the end and the fruit! Highly recommend – really looking forward to my next class.
I am so thankful to have found Uyen. She is such a kind, gentle person & a fantastic yoga teacher. She is incredibly knowledgeable & very good at explaining each position. I feel like I truly understand what I am meant to do now, whereas I have not found this in previous yoga classes. I really enjoy the meditation & relaxation aspect too. I am keen to learn about the spiritual side of yoga as well as the physical side & Uyen combines these two things seamlessly. Thank you Uyen for all of your help xx
I have recently started Yoga with Uyen, the positive welcoming vibe that Uyen makes you feel is refreshing and inspiring. There seems to be no end to the support she is willing to give to assist you. Uyen has been at the end of emails, texts and calls in order to provide me with information to help me with my journey, sourcing books and websites she thinks will help me with my mindfulness.
Hello Zoe, thanks so much for your generous review. Love every minutes to practise yoga and meditation with you all. Lots of love and see you soon! Uyen x
Hello Jen, thanks so much for many beautiful words you wrote for me! I enjoyed very much the time to practising yoga and meditation with you and I look forward to seeing you soon! Uyen x
. I attended Uyens yoga class today, as a total beginner. . I really didn’t know what to expect but my doctors suggested I tried yoga for health reasons. I am extremely unfit and out of shape, but I was made to feel very comfy. Uyen explained everything and helped when needed, she was happy to work at my pace and assured me each week will get easier , I do believe with her help and support this is true. Uyen is such a lovely happy lady and her studio is beautiful. I would recomend her classes to anyone looking to try yoga or improve on bits they already know.. thank you Uyen.
I did my first class today with Uyen and she was very welcoming and understanding and took the time to work with me so that I got the most out of the class. I am looking forward to working with her in the future
It was my first yoga class this morning and I loved every minute of it. I was a little nervous, but Uyen is a warm kind person who takes care of individuals and explains why we are doing each move and makes sure we all know how to do it, to best of our own abilities. Relaxing, welcoming
environment, thoroughly recommend her classes.
I had been looking for a really good yoga teacher for some time and by chance came across Uyen. I am a complete beginner and had my first class last week. What a fantastic teacher! Uyen is so encouraging and passionate about what she is teaching. The classes are small so that everyone gets the attention and help if needed. She is such a lovely person and a beautiful soul and I am looking forward to continuing my yoga journey with her.
Uyen is a good professional yoga instructor and very gentle person.
I am very happy with my lessons and looking forward to my next lessons.
I am feeling very good for the first time after I had my last c section, nonetheless i have other health issues Uyen was very keen to use the right lesson to help my body needs and she teach me the right movement and postures to help heal my body and mind inside and out .
it was the best decision to choose Uyen as my yoga teacher i definitely recommend her to my friends and family.
I took my first beginners’ class with Uyen yesterday and really enjoyed it. Her class was an hour and a half long but it flew by. Uyen is very friendly and spent a good amount of time explaining her instructions as well as going around the whole group making sure we were holding the right positions. I particularly appreciated this as I have found from past experience not all instructors do this. I did find I was aching for the rest of the day – which I took as a good sign – but today I am not aching at all which is a nice suprise. Looking forward to my next class.
Uyen is a fantastic yoga instructor. With such a welcoming and warm heart, she guides you through each pose and explains everything thoroughly to give you the knowledge and confidence to practice yoga yourself either in class or at home. I especially enjoyed the meditation at the end of class too. A great way to relax and free the mind.
I would recommend Uyen to anybody looking to increase flexibility, strengthen their core and limbs, alleviated pain and improve overall body and mind wellbeing
Uyen is delightfully welcoming and really embraces the holistic approach to yoga practice. Her classes are both challenging and restorative, leaving you feeling like you have worked hard, stretched yourself (literally), and repaired. The meditation at the end is terrific, made even more relaxing by the singing ball! I highly recommend her classes.
I attended my first class with Uyen, a beginners class, last week. It was a really small class of 5 people, which I found really helpful, as Uyen was able to correct any errors I had made with posture etc. I did find the class challenging, but not beyond what I was capable of, and Uyen was on hand to assist. I liked that I felt a little pushed out of my comfort zone! Uyen is lovely and explains and demonstrates the poses clearly. I really enjoyed the session, and definitley felt the benefit of the class that night, and for the next few days. Really looking forward to my next class! 🙂
Uyen is such a gentle person and a lovely teacher – her calm nature is very inspiring.. I am a complete beginner and Uyen is so encouraging. She explains every pose in detail and how it benefits the body. She is very hands on and ensures that you are getting the most out of your body with each movement. I am new to her classes but really enjoying them and would definitely recommend them.
I have enlisted Uyen for weekly private yoga and meditation practice for my husband and I at our home. We now look forward to Mondays! Uyen is a great teacher, her instructions are clear, she encourages us to work out the postures ourselves first but is very hands on in helping us get into the right pose if we struggle. She is very optimistic of our ability and brings the tranquility and mindfulness into our busy lives, that I think everybody needs a regular dose of . Namaste CB x
I am very unfit and heavy overweight and I had my first beginners class with Uyen yesterday. She was so lovely and supportive and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. I feel more knowledgeable to why and how to do some of the positions and look forward to next week.
