Yoga studio extends reach into new Yorkshire studio at Emmerdale building

A new yoga studio is set to open in Yorkshire at the former filming site of Emmerdale.

Anahata Yoga will be moving into the Sunny Banks Mills complex in Farsley at the beginning of next year.

The company is opening its first studio space in the historic Old Combing building at Sunny Bank early in the New Year.

Sarah McLaughlin, the owner of Anahata Yoga, commented: “I wanted to open a studio with a real community feel and I absolutely love what Sunny Bank Mills has to offer.

“Filled with local businesses, art studios and designers, it just felt like the right place to be. In the heart of Farsley where I live, my studio’s location was key and Sunny Bank Mills ticked all the boxes.

“The studio is a lovely big space, which is light and airy, so for me it offers the perfect setting for a yoga studio.

“This is my first studio space. I have previously been working from my attic during Covid, so this is a major step forward.”

John Gaunt, joint managing director of Edwin Woodhouse and Co Ltd, the company that owns Sunny Bank Mills, said: “This is a very exciting new letting for us – and we are absolutely delighted Sarah is joining us at Sunny Bank Mills.

“The arrival of a yoga studio here broadens our leisure appeal and provides a wonderful new facility for everyone who works at the mill and who lives in Farsley”.
