A Dream Born from Healing

Mo’s journey to creating Soul Space is deeply personal. After experiencing mental health struggles linked to childhood trauma, she discovered yoga at 18 and then during lockdown began studying online. What started as a tool for her own healing soon grew into a passion to support others. She began by running community classes, and in November 2024, her dream of opening her own studio became a reality.

A Vibrant Yoga Offering, Seven Days a Week

In just one year, Soul Space has blossomed into one of Chester’s most loved wellbeing hubs — with over 100 people through the doors every week. The centre offers classes seven days a week and caters to all levels and preferences. The timetable features a wide range of styles and these thoughtfully curated offerings reflect Mo’s belief that yoga should be accessible, varied and welcoming to all.

Mo explains: “I found my ‘calm’ through yoga after battling with childhood trauma all of my life and I now want to help others. Soul Space is more than just a yoga studio — I wanted to create a safe space where people can connect and feel seen, heard and supported by a likeminded community. I’m so delighted with our first year and how the community has grown. Together we’ve created something truly special.”
