The Dojo: Heaton

About

Tucked away in High Heaton, this bright martial arts, fitness and wellbeing space in Newcastle upon Tyne has been open since 2020. The fully matted floor is used for barefoot training, with weekly karate and yoga classes running from the Dojo. Goju-Ryu karate sessions are held on weekday evenings for both children and adults, while yoga takes place on certain mornings. The space can also be hired by other instructors for activities such as pilates, dance or meditation.

A martial arts dojo is generally a good place to build fitness, coordination and confidence in a structured setting. Traditional styles like karate tend to suit all ages, and many people find the discipline and routine of regular classes rewarding alongside gentler practices such as yoga.
