Since opening its doors in 2007, Santosha Yoga Studio has been a cornerstone of the yoga community in Lisburn, Belfast, and Northern Ireland. Over the years, Santosha has grown from a humble idea to a thriving space where individuals of all levels and backgrounds can experience the transformative power of yoga. This is the story of our journey and how we’ve dedicated ourselves to inspiring balance, wellbeing, and connection for over 17 years.
The Vision Behind Santosha
Santosha, meaning “contentment” in Sanskrit, was born out of a desire to create a welcoming space where people could find peace amidst the busyness of life. From the beginning, our mission has been simple yet profound: to make yoga accessible to everyone, fostering physical health, mental clarity, and emotional resilience.
Located in the heart of Lisburn, just a short drive from Belfast, Santosha Yoga Studio was designed to be more than just a place to practice yoga. We envisioned it as a sanctuary for growth, healing, and community—a space where individuals could reconnect with themselves and others.
Growing Together: Serving Lisburn and Belfast
Over the past 17 years, Santosha has become a hub for yoga enthusiasts from Lisburn, Belfast, and beyond. Our accessible location, complete with nearby free parking and proximity to shops and cafés, has made it a favourite for both locals and those travelling from surrounding towns.
We’re proud to have built a vibrant and inclusive community, offering classes and workshops that cater to diverse needs. From beginners taking their first steps on the mat to experienced practitioners, Santosha has something for everyone.
