Our Studio
Feel the Flow
Welcome to B.B.S Studios
Tucked between East & South Belfast on the vibrant and ever-evolving Cregagh Road,
B.B.S Studios is a hidden space that carries a little sanctuary(and just the right amount
of magic) in its walls. A little wellbeing hub, where calm meets creativity, and
community comes alive.
Inside our boutique, loft-style building, you’ll discover two unique studio spaces, each
designed with love and intention to make you feel at ease the moment you arrive.
Between gorgeous soft lighting, warm wooden floors, soaring high ceilings, and a jungle
of happy green plants and earthy hues, we have designed an area especially for you, to
give you that instant exhale, and that little “ahhhhhh” your body’s been waiting for.
Here, we host a colourful tapestry of individual treatments, classes, workshops,
gatherings, and community events, alongside beautiful rental spaces for space holders,
therapists, group leaders, and dreamers alike. Whether you come to share your gifts or
simply soak up the vibes, you’ll find a place that feels like home, a little pocket of
serenity in the city.
At the heart of it all is Joanne, the studio’s proprietor. An experienced yoga teacher,
makeup artist, and wellbeing expert, Joanne has a gift for helping people feel incredible inside and out. And her vision for B.B.S Studios is simple: a space where you can arrive as you
are, leave a little lighter, and carry that sense of wellbeing back into your world.
So whether you’re rolling out a mat, joining a circle or retreat, or simply pausing for a
breath between the busyness of modern life… hi, welcome. You’ve found your space.
Breathe. Move. Connect. Belong.
Meet the Teachers
Joanne
Canadian-born and Belfast-raised, Joanne has been supporting women for over 20 years through one-on-one work and in the last 9 years through the practice of Vinyasa Yoga. As the founder of Barefoot Body & Soul, a wellbeing and yoga studio nestled between South and East Belfast, she offers a compassionate space for people to reconnect with themselves.
With a deep belief in the power of presence and community, Joanne guides others home to themselves through movement, breath, and stillness - tools she uses daily in her own life.
Marianne
I've been practising yoga consistently for the past six years, and I recently qualified as a Function & Flow Yoga teacher.
Function & Flow Yoga combines movement mechanics with traditional vinyasa flows. It's a modern practice with a strong focus on and respect for the ancient traditions of yoga, where every aspect of the class is intentional.
My class is challenging yet fun, and it's beginner-friendly, with plenty of verbal and visual cues to help you build confidence. There's nothing more powerful than listening to your breath and acknowledging its vital role in keeping us alive. Yet, we often do it so automatically that we forget we're even doing it. Close your eyes and listen – it can be magically grounding.
Peace & love, Marianne

Hiya I’m Chloë!
I have been practising yoga for as long as I can remember, being lucky enough to have a mother who is a yoga teacher. My asana practice began around 18, and I completed my teacher training just a decade after that.
My classes are rooted in presence. Finding your body, your breath, and learning how to focus on it through dynamic vinyasa flow, often sweaty, always strong. Usually accompanied by a good laugh.
The asana practice I lead builds on strength and begs you to listen to what your body needs that day so you move safely.
I can’t wait to move with you
Lucie
Hello, I’m Lucie! Originally from Paris, I moved to Belfast 8 years ago and fell in love with its people. It was then that I started my inner journey and got interested in the practice of yoga. I never thought I would become a teacher as it all started as a personal inquiry and will to know myself deeper. But things happened naturally and I have now been teaching yoga in different forms since 2019. I have gone to India three times to train and deepen both my own practice and my knowledge of yoga.
I have trained in traditional hatha, vinyasa, restorative yoga, yin yoga and yoga nidra. I love them all and find that they all complement each other perfectly. Movement and stillness practices are both needed in life to find the perfect balance!
