“Yoga at the Mill is a true Chelmsford gem.”
A warm welcome
Thanks for dropping by. We are a family-run business based in central Chelmsford for the past decade. Co-founders Lucia and Darren have a combined track record of over years’ experience - as students and teachers - in the yoga and meditation industry, initially practicing in London.
Based in central Chelmsford for the last 12 years, we are proud that Yoga at the Mill has an unrivalled local reputation for excellence, having carved a loyal client base and a strong reputation for mindful, sensitive yoga and meditation teaching. We have been singled out by independent website Three Best Rated for many years running, including in 2023.
Our schedule of in-studio and online yoga and mindfulness classes, retreats and workshops, are led by a talented team of hand-picked teachers. We love working with committed students in small groups (max ten) in a lovely studio environment that’s welcoming and convenient, with plentiful free parking. In-studio we run three classes over Thursday evenings and two (plus workshops) over Saturday mornings. Please go here for full weekly in-studio schedule and here for online (live streamed schedule).
Why practice yoga or meditation with us?
Our own yoga journey goes back some 25 years, when we started practising Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga in various London halls and studios. As long-standing yoga and mindfulness students and teachers ourselves we have experienced the most inspiring teaching down the years (as well as, truthfully, the less inspiring) and of course the profound mind/body benefits of regular practice.
Whether in-person or live streamed, our aim is to offer highly competent yoga and meditation teaching that is underlined by care, integrity and balance. Joining a yoga class can feel intimidating - we have often felt this ourselves. In addition to their competence and experience, our teachers are hand-picked for their welcoming, sensitive approach and will do their best to make you feel nurtured and at home.
Yoga is often translated as ‘union’ - and both yoga and meditation bring us back to a deeper connection with ourselves. In an age where we so often feel disconnected, anxious and in our heads, these practices help us feel more embodied and therefore happier.
We’re often told by our students that there’s a special, welcoming feel at our Moulsham Mill classes, and we hope this also extends to online sessions. In-studio classes are currently capped at a maximum of ten students, adding to an experience that we hope is personal, inclusive and uncompetitive.
“The quality of teaching at Yoga at The Mill is phenomenal and the best yoga practice I have experienced.”
“Yoga at the mill has helped me learn so much about my body and what it needs. This helps me immeasurably, not only physically but mentally and emotionally. It’s medicine for life and I could go on and on about how I have benefitted...”
