The Purple Lotus - leading the way in alternative therapies to aid relaxation and rejuvenation
Call 01228 899301
The Purple Lotus is Carlisle's holistic health and fitness centre offering yoga and a wide range of alternative therapies to promote and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Massage
A range of massage treatments are available from highly experienced practitioners. The Organic Rejuvenating Face Massage is an antiageing and relaxing hands-on massage treating both surface and deep facial tissues. It increases blood circulation, tones muscles and aids in the removal of toxins, leaving your skin looking smoother, clearer and younger too.
The Swedish or Body Massage is a full body massage using firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and improve circulation. Ideal after sport, or a stressful work regime. 1/2 hour treatments are also available, concentrating on Back, Neck and Shoulders - areas we naturally tense as a result of stress.
Thai Massage available too. See Purple Lotus website for details
If you wish, mix and match treatments can be designed to suit. Contact Tanya at the Purple Lotus for more details, or on

I have been here several times for aromatherapy massage. The facilities are great, the therapist, Tanya, is excellent. They also offer several types of yoga, but I haven't tried those. You should give them a try!! Thanks, Terry M.
Had a massage with Tanya..... In 1word.... Fabulous!!! Am returning very soon for another and will continue to do so!!
Really friendly, and welcoming. The yoga classes are well run with very good tuition. The classes are as challenging as you want them to be. The yoga room itself is a large open space, which is peaceful and relaxing, everyone is nice.
I have attended Nia Classes, Antenatal Yoga and meditation sessions here and have had nothing but positive experiences. Teaching is friendly, enthusiastic and welcoming in a lovely studio (fantastic sprung floor) with a calming and welcoming atmosphere. Try it and see!

What wonderful people and perfect setting. I didn't want to go home after my gentle yoga class.
' I first visited Jan Ford Batey 10 years ago and I can honestly say she has been one of the greatest discoveries I have ever made. Through Jan's kindness, skill and unfailing positivity I have learnt to be a healthier and happier person. My persistent and debilitating stomach problems which once left me feeling so unwell and lethargic no longer hang over me and I am free to live life to its fullest. I will be forever grateful'. Love Hollie xx
I'm a fan of thai massage, it's like meditation with all the benefits of yoga thrown in. A bit of time to relax, be quiet and chill out. Ideal stress buster in this increasingly busy world of ours. Go on, give it a try! (Testimonial Supplied by Andy H)
Have been here for a facial massage and it was wonderful, felt chilled and the stresses of the day faded away. would recommend it to anyone. I have also been to the yoga class and the atmosphere in the room is lovely you feel relaxed when you walk in and the class was really good for all levels. claire
The Purple Lotus offers world class Yoga right in the centre of Carlisle. A beautiful Yoga studio that feels like a calm oasis. Amazing!
I really enjoy the NIA classes - all the fun of dance but also great aerobic exercise. There's nothing else quite like it. Makes us all smile.
A great place to exercise and in such nice surroundings with excellent people, come and see for your self.
I really love the Nia classes. They are such good fun and so well instructed. I have found that my body is more toned and I have lost weight by attending them on a regular basis. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
I love the purple lotus centre as it is an oasis in the centre of town. The staff are all so helpful and friendly. If your new to the world of yoga and holistic health this is the place to go,it's not in the least intimidating and every time I visit I feel fantastic.

They run yoga & Nia classes & are probably the best in town! Lots of classes being added to their programme
A really welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Great yoga teaching and support.
I am really enjoying Tai Chi and also Nia at the Purple Lotus through MIND. The studio is very nice it has a lovely atmosphere about it, so calming and the staff very friendly. I find these exercises much more enjoyable than going to the gym. I have a real sense of well being when the class has finished. Shirley R

I started going to Purple Lotus about a year ago and got so hooked on the Nia that I have now done the course and am teaching the classes myself! It's such a lovely place, well situated and everyone there is so pleasant.
