Our yoga classes in St Helens

Some days you need fire. Some days you need rest.

Our timetable has both, every week. Come in on a big day and we’ll get you moving. Come in tired and we’ll slow everything right down. Same warm room, whatever your body needs that day.

Restore

Classes to slow down and unwind

Gentle Flow

60 min · $26

Our class for anyone just starting out, or anyone who wants to slow down and work on alignment. Injured, stiff, sore, living with an illness or disability? You're welcome here, at your own pace.

Slow Flow to Yin

75 min · $27

It starts with slow, mindful vinyasa and eases into longer-held yin shapes. Unhurried, simple sequences, lots of time to settle. Suitable for all levels.

Yin

60 or 75 min · $26

Slow and quiet, with holds of two to ten minutes and your attention on the breath. It's the perfect tonic to a busy life, and it's lovely for sleep and stress.

New to yoga, or coming back after a long break? Gentle Flow on Wednesday mornings is a lovely place to start.

About us

The people behind Sun Rock

We became Sun Rock Studio: a collaboration of people, ideas, yoga and art. It’s a place for movement, meditation, music and art, and for nourishing more than just the physical.

Pip Layton runs the studio. She found yoga changed her life and now shares it, weaving yoga philosophy, elemental theory and myofascial knowledge into her classes, with a good dose of playfulness and curiosity. She’s trained in Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin, and she’s a qualified myofascial and remedial massage therapist too.

Our teachers

  • Pip Layton
  • Jess Manning
  • Bena Polo
  • Ellie Innis
  • Katrina Leavitt
  • Janelle Inkster
  • Pamela Milnes
  • Larissa Hoult

We also bring in guest teachers for workshops through the year, from yin and acupressure to qigong and energy work. They’re listed on our booking page as they come up.

“May we be the steadfast rock that grounds you when you need holding, and the warming rays of the sun on your back as you continue on through this dance of life.”
From our launch post

Our sun and rock logo was designed by artist Dane Chisholm.

I love Sun Rock! It has been a couple of decades since I have walked into a yoga class or mindful movement type of class, but it resonates with me now just as it did back then. Going into Sun Rock this year, I immediately felt welcomed. It's lowkey and friendly, with no pressure socially but also the implied invitation to sit and have a cup of tea before/after classes and a chat. And, of course, the classes themselves are great! I've worked with 5 instructors there so far and they have all had so much to offer, from setting the tone in the room to offering helpful hands-on adjustments (always optional!) when I've needed it. I really look forward to deepening my practice here :)
Chelsea SmithGoogle review
Sun Rock studio is full of varied expertise and offers wonderfully instructed classes from slow flow yoga, yin, empower classes(strength, fitness, cardio) to Latino Dance, Kirtan meditation & Free Dance Flow. I love it! I've attended nearly every class when I can over the years. My most memorable moment at this studio was when I first entered 3 years ago and felt the warm, welcoming, safe space with caring instructors who have guided me through the years to feel so much stronger mentally & physically. Thankyou🙏💜
Julina HuntGoogle review
The best thing about this studio is you don’t only get to experience a wide range of classes but you become part of a family - a strong knit community. The teachers genuinely care, are knowledgeable and want to see you connect to your practice.
Taylor FearGoogle review
Outstanding studio! One of my absolute favourites! Great space, inviting and friendly. Excellent teachers and community. Loved the retail shop and that I could also book a massage. They also have a cosy tea area to chill in and catch up with new friends, really well designed and a great size. Lots of room. They have all the props as well. Such a wonderful studio! Thank you for always being so inviting and welcoming. Love the variety also! So much on offer xx
