Grounded in Bristol since 2016

Local Connect Hub 7 was founded in 2016 by Nadia Worthington, a qualified mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) teacher with a background in positive psychology and over a decade of personal practice. Nadia opened the studio with a clear intention: to create a professional, accessible space where people could develop real, lasting mindfulness and wellness skills.

What began as a single weekly meditation class has grown into a full programme of classes and workshops, serving a community of hundreds of regular students across Bristol and the surrounding area. Our studio on Maple Grove Road is designed to feel calm, focused, and free from distraction — a dedicated space for practice.

We work with a team of six certified instructors, each specialising in different areas of wellness — from breathwork and yoga to confidence-building and self-compassion practice. Every class is structured around measurable skills and meaningful personal outcomes, guided by evidence-informed approaches to wellbeing.

What our students say

We are genuinely proud of the community that has grown around Local Connect Hub 7. These are a few reflections shared by our students.

★★★★★

I started the Foundations of Mindfulness class feeling genuinely overwhelmed by work stress, and I had never tried meditation before. The sessions are structured and calm, and Nadia explains everything clearly without any pressure. After eight weeks I noticed a real difference in how I was managing difficult days. I now attend twice a week and it has become a part of my routine that I genuinely value.

★★★★★

The Building Confidence workshop was exactly what I needed at a point where I was changing careers and feeling quite uncertain about myself. Tom is a skilled facilitator — he creates a really constructive group environment and the practical frameworks from the sessions have stayed with me long after the course ended. I came away with a much clearer sense of my own values and a toolkit I still use daily.

★★★★★

Priya's Restorative Yoga classes are a highlight of my week. The pace is considered and the guidance is always thoughtful — she remembers individual students' needs and adapts suggestions accordingly. I started as someone who thought yoga wasn't for me, and I now attend every Thursday morning. The studio itself is beautifully calm and well-maintained. I would recommend Local Connect Hub 7 without hesitation.

★★★★★

I had tried breathwork videos online and never quite got the benefit from them. Marcus's classes are completely different — the structured environment and his clear, unhurried guidance made it possible to really settle into the practice. After a few sessions I noticed I was sleeping much better and feeling more composed during the working day. The lunchtime slot fits perfectly into my schedule.

★★★★★

The Self-Esteem and Self-Care workshop was genuinely transformative for me. Tom and Nadia co-facilitated and the combination of approaches worked really well — reflective journalling alongside the more skills-based sessions gave the programme real depth. I found myself looking forward to every Tuesday evening. The small group size made it feel personal and supportive without being intrusive.

★★★★★

I have tried several wellness studios in Bristol and Local Connect Hub 7 is the one that has kept my attention and commitment over the long term. The programming is thoughtful, the instructors are highly professional, and the booking process is straightforward. I particularly appreciate how seriously the team takes CPD — you can tell that they are genuinely up to date with best practice in their fields.
