A NEW yoga studio is opening in Pershore next month.

Alessandra Quaglieri has spent 20 years teaching Pranayama Yoga, and around 10 years in Worcestershire.

She is opening a new studio in Pershore at 36 High Street, above Jolie and Beau Clothing and next to Sara's Beauty Therapy Naturally - the three of them holding a launch on June 1, at 3pm, with the studio officially launching on June 5.

Alessandra said: "I started teaching my own classes in 2008, and from 2011 I started offering one-to-one sessions.

"I was attracted to Pranayama Yoga because of its originality and pureness.

"This form of yoga focuses on relaxing the entire person, body and mind, through breathing, physical exercises and relaxation methods.

"Pranayama Yoga works to create a healthy mind and body, keeping the physical self fit and emotional self relaxed and aware in all circumstances.

"I am very excited in launching my own Yoga Studio in Pershore and looking forward to bringing new clients into the town."
