Our Story
Welcome to 11:11 Yoga Studio, a peaceful haven for spiritual wellness in the heart of Calne. Here, we bring people together in a warm, vibrant yoga community—one that’s welcoming, inclusive, and free of judgment. We’re dedicated to creating a safe space where everyone feels inspired, supported, and empowered to explore their own path of healing and self-awareness.
The journey to 11:11 Yoga Studio began with a personal sign: each day, while working as a headhunter in 2009, I noticed the time often read 11:11. This number became a quiet reminder, guiding me along my spiritual path. Around that same time, I discovered yoga, met my husband, and gradually felt a calling to leave the corporate world to teach. Opening this studio was my way of embracing that sign—a place dedicated to helping others reconnect and grow. I still see 11:11 daily, a gentle nudge that I'm on the right path.
In numerology, 11 is a master number, symbolising intuition, dreams, and spiritual guidance. At the studio, we have a board that reads: “11:11: An invitation to awaken, to see the bigger picture, and to connect with the spirit within. Take a breath, quiet the mind, and look within.”
11:11 Yoga Studio is a calm, inviting, and uplifting space. Whether you’re new to yoga or experienced, you’ll feel at ease here. Our studio is dedicated to inclusivity and accessibility, where each person can find balance, unwind, and feel re-energised. Rooted in the true spirit of yoga, 11:11 offers a mindful, positive experience, leaving you grounded, refreshed, and ready to step into your day.
