The Space Upstairs (North Hall), Heartbreak Productions, Spencer Yard, Spencer St, CV31 3SY
The Space Upstairs in Spencer Yard is a lovely space in the heart of Leamington's Old Town, just over the river from Leamington Art Gallery and Pump Rooms and directly opposite to Leamington Assembly (not to be confused with the Assembly Rooms) on Spencer St, also next to The Loft theatre. It is poorly signposted but the space itself is a haven - quiet, spacious and airy so well worth persisting. It's also a warm room which makes yoga practice here a pleasure!
Spencer Yard can be accessed from Spencer St only. 2023: ongoing building works are affecting access to the yard so please follow arrows/signs to Heartbreak productions if the usual access has been changed. There is no parking at Spencer Yard itself so you will need to park on street or at the nearby Bath Place car park ( charges apply). Please use the alley next to the big white building currently under renovation opposite Leamington Assembly on Spencer St. Follow the lit alleyway down the side of the white building, you will emerge into a big yard with the building works fenced off. In front of you is the building where the yoga takes place.
There are glass doors in the reception area in the corner of Spencer Yard. Do not try to enter by these as they are locked but instead use the door to the right of the reception at the far end of the building that you are facing. These doors will be open 10-15 minutes before the class and lead straight up the stairs that take you into the yoga hall. The Space Upstairs is in the two storey building and not the single storey building used by the fabulous Leamington dance company Motionhouse.
I usually keep the upstairs doors to the hall open for a few minutes after the class start. You can still join in after the doors are closed but please make eye contact me through the glass first so that I can find a suitable time for you to join if the class has started to cause least disturbance to other students.
