Can’t believe it’s been one year since we signed our lease in Saffron Walden (and then spent 2.5 months renovating it!) 🤍

It’s been a whirlwind - juggling timetables, last-minute cover, budgets, refining classes, always evolving ans enhancing what we do, and discovering that running two studios means something is always breaking, leaking, or needing fixing 😅 So yes… relaxing? Not really. Awesome? Absolutely.

A Fine Balance is a dream slowly taking shape - 8 years in the making, 10 years since becoming a yoga teacher 🥹

We’re so lucky to have the best instructors and the most amazing members - our AFB fam is the heart and soul of everything we do 🫶

Here’s what’s coming up at both studios:

✨ Final week of Spring Challenge + unveiling our new AFB bags

🏋️‍♀️ Rooftop Power Pilates & yoga at Sat 25 April, 10am

🌿 Alfresco collab in Essex - coming soon, any guess?

💃 AFB Barre Teacher Training Foundation Course with teim™, 31 May - only 3 spots left

🧘 Workshops galore: Sound Baths, Yoga Nidra, Tarot & more

🤰 Pregnancy club sessions with + pregnancy & mum & bubs classes across both studios

⏰ Early morning 7am/7:10am classes to help you make the most it the light ☀️
Year one has been a ride… year two is going to be even bigger 👀

If you’ve been thinking about it, join us — Discovery Pass £45 x 2 weeks, or jump straight in and become a member!

For the overthinkers… the busy minds… the ones who find it hard to switch off 🤍

For the busy parents
the students
the ones juggling everything
the ones with more time, but still searching for something for them

For those who feel social anxiety…
who worry what people think
who’ve never quite found exercise that feels good
who don’t make time for themselves
who’ve forgotten what balance even looks like…

This is for you

A Fine Balance is built on warmth, kindness and feeling truly welcome
from founder, to instructor, to every single person in the room

And yes… it’s actually fun to be here

A space where you can walk in, exhale, and just be yourself

No pressure
No judgement
No need to have it all together

Just 50–60 minutes to move, reset, and step out of your head
and back into your body

If that’s what you’ve been needing…
you’ll feel it here ✨

Start with our 2-week Discovery Pass for £45 🤍
