South side gallery earmarked as new home of yoga and wellbeing centre

The south side could soon be welcoming a new yoga and wellbeing centre.

Plans have been submitted to use an existing showroom gallery on Gavinton Street as the new home of Cultivating Mindfulness.

The charity is proposing to open two studio spaces offering wellbeing activities to benefit the local community by promoting health and wellbeing.

Classes offered at the studio would include mindfulness meditation, yoga, tai chi and pilates.

If given the go-ahead the building would also stock products like meditation cushions, yoga mats, meditation journals and books.

An application for the plans states: "Classes such as meditation and workshops do not require music however if music is played for example yoga it will be relaxing therefore noise levels will be very little.

"There will be a reception area to the entrance that will have a welcome and booking desk and an area that will stock products designed to enhance wellbeing such as meditation cushions and yoga mats, meditation journals and books."

The wellbeing centre will be within a few minutes walk of Muirend train station and will have unrestricted parking surroundinng.

The plans add: "Our clients are local residents who are interested in learning about a healthy and balanced lifestyle and seeking ways to learn how to relax and lead a happier life.

"We have existing local clients from previous classes, workshops and retreats who are keen to continue their practice from a permanent space. The demographic of these clients demonstrate care for the environment and respect for local residents when attending classes."

The space would be open from 9am to 9pm on weekdays or 6pm on weekends.

The plans will now before Glasgow City Council 's planning team.
