Brighton Natural Health Centre was set up in 1981 by the founders of Infinity Foods and was one of the first centres of its kind in Brighton. Here at the Centre, our focus is not just on getting physically fit, we believe in the benefits of all round health for body, mind and planet.
We are a charity so any profits made at the Centre are channelled right back into our community and charitable work. We are inclusive and welcome people of all ages and backgrounds.
Our aim is to remove barriers and make our work accessible to all. You can help us make this happen.
Our regular class fees help fund our operational costs and contribute to the running of our charitable programme. This includes low-cost community classes, free outreach classes including yoga for female refugees, migrants and asylum seekers and trauma-informed yoga classes for those who identify as women in Brighton and Hove.
We are committed to expanding our charitable programme to vulnerable groups in the city and thereby help reduce health inequalities locally, in line with our mission. We will seek funding to do this but we need your donations to do even more. We want to help older people who are isolated and lonely, younger people who may be experiencing mental health problems and people in society with complex and additional needs.
A plethora of research shows that yoga, Tai chi, pilates and other movement practices improve psychological wellbeing and cognitive functioning, can reduce depression and have a preventative and rehabilitative impact on a range of physical conditions. Our belief in the benefits of these practices – based on evidence, as well as what we see day to day in the Centre – drives our ambition to offer these opportunities to everyone.
We have a programme of weekly low-cost community classes:
All classes cost just £5
Yoga for Team Domenica, supporting young adults with learning difficulties.
Yoga for mental health for service users at the Lighthouse Centre, in partnership with Sussex Oakleaf.
Tai Chi for homeless people at First Base in Brighton & Hove.
Relaxation yoga classes for service users at Brighton Women’s Centre.
But we want to do more and we need your help to expand this programme. There are many ways you can help us make this happen.
When you attend BNHC activities, the fee you pay for your class, membership or workshop supports your local community enabling us to deliver our charitable aims and provide more work for people at the centre.
Please take a look at our timetable and find a class that suits you.
Due to COVID-19 the centre is facing significant financial challenges. Please help us make sure we can continue to serve our community for the next 40 years by buying a class card.
You can use these yourself or you can give one to someone you think would enjoy it.

By making a donation to BNHC you can support us as a charity to continue our work. The funds raised mean we can continue to offer low-cost classes for those with financial barriers, free yoga classes for migrants, asylum seekers and refugees and a trauma-informed yoga class for women.
A recommendation to a friend or family member, actively connecting with us on social media, or leaving us a review on Google is hugely valuable to us and free for you to do.
If you are able to give a little more time to supporting our activities and operations, get in touch to discuss volunteering opportunities at the centre – we would love to hear from you.
