About Cringleford
Cringleford is one of the most pleasant places to teach near Norwich: a leafy, settled village on the south-western edge of the city, bordered by the River Yare. The Pavilion sits on Oakfields Road, set within the recreation ground alongside the tennis courts, and is a recently refurbished, modern hall with good heating and beautiful grounds surrounding it.

For Norwich residents, this is almost always the closest in-person venue. From Eaton, Newmarket Road or Unthank, it’s a five to ten minute drive. From Eaton Park, it’s essentially walking distance. Students come in from all over the south and west of the city: Cringleford itself, Eaton, Keswick, Bawburgh and Unthank Road.
The class is well-attended and consistently fully booked at sixteen students. The community has a roughly equal balance of men and women, spans the 30s through the 70s, and is made up largely of loyal and dedicated students who have been coming for years. Newcomers are welcomed, though booking ahead is essential. If Thursday is full when you enquire, the Tuesday evening class at Sprowston Diamond Centre has room, and it is the same classical Hatha with Ania.
Ania brings blocks and straps for everyone. Students are encouraged to bring their own mat. If you are a complete beginner without a mat, let Ania know when you book and she can bring one for you.
