Pay It Forward
When you come to a class, course or event with AMALAwellness, not only are you working on your own wellbeing, you Pay It Forward to help others access Yoga and Meditation in the local community too!
When you attend classes, you are helping us to fund initiatives with charities and organisations to offer support to those who need it most and may not be able to access these much needed services across Teesside.
Our Community Outreach
We offer Community Funded Spaces in our classes, as well as running funded courses for local councils, charities and organisations. We work collaboratively with Social Prescribers and Link Workers, to support people who are motivated to improve their physical well-being, but may have socioeconomic barriers to attending classes.
AMALAwellness CIC are working with Parkinson’s UK to help support those living with Parkinson’s to be more active.
Cafe AMALA
Our Fully Funded Pop Up Cafe (supported by Middlesbrough Council, The Allen Lane Foundation and Tees Valley Community Fund) is a place where after class, people can come together for a good chat and free tea, coffee and refreshments. We offer a supportive ear, discuss ways people can improve their practice outside of class and signpost to services within Teesside that can help support older adults, carers and more.
We help with developing home exercise and meditation/relaxation plans and offer free resources and work-out equipment so people can be more active at home.
Our Cafe AMALA sessions are proud to be part of UK’s Warm Welcome Spaces initiative, free for anyone to attend. Pop and see us for a brew!

What People Say
Feedback from our students.
These yoga classes are so energizing. I enjoy the fact that the classes go through poses that are accessible for everyone with options for modifications if to make the poses easier or harder as needed. I’d highly recommend Amalawellness for any yoga practitioners, especially beginners. The classes are great for all levels of practice.
I feel my aches have got better through the gentle movements and I have improved my wrist strength.
The Keep Moving Teesside! Classes keep me moving and flexible. Keeping flexible as I get older is very important to me. I also enjoy the social aspect of the class.
Absolutely recommend these classes, Aimee is very professional and a great yoga teacher. I look forward to her classes every week. AMALAwellness classes are fantastic for beginners and advanced. A friendly atmosphere and a lovely sense of calm throughout the class. Aimee explains all the moves, postures and breathing very clearly. I always feel great after class and it’s a joy to attend.
The classes have improved my balance. I don’t ache as much as I used to and joints are suppler.
I look forward to my Chair Yoga class every week. I enjoy being with others at my level of fitness and feel much happier. Less aches and pains. I’m much more mobile now.
