About Us
Sometimes a dream takes root quietly, waiting for the right moment to unfold.
The Old Chapel Studio began as just that — a vision of creating a space where movement, creativity, and calm could live side by side.
Our Story
For years, I (Aga) taught yoga and Pilates in gyms — spaces that were functional but never quite captured the stillness and warmth I wanted my students to feel. When the opportunity came to transform an old chapel in Brockholes, it felt like life was inviting me to create something more meaningful.
Restoring the chapel became a labour of love. Every wall painted, every floorboard laid, every window cleaned by hand was part of a bigger intention: to breathe new life into a place built for gathering and reflection. What once was a quiet, forgotten building now hums again — not with sermons, but with the soft sounds of movement, breath, and laughter.
Today, The Old Chapel Studio is a sanctuary for anyone who wants to reconnect — with their body, their breath, their creativity, and their sense of self. Here we move, stretch, rest, and make things with our hands. We learn to slow down and find presence in small, ordinary moments.
The studio offers small group yoga and Pilates classes, 1:1 sessions, and creative workshops that bring people together in a gentle, grounded way. Every session is guided by me, so you’ll always find a familiar face who knows your practice and supports your progress.
This isn’t just a place to exercise — it’s a space to belong.
Whether you come to move, to rest, or to simply take a breath, you’re part of the story now — the one that continues to unfold within these old chapel walls.
