About Shiva
Newquay's Calisthenics, Yoga, Pilates, & Health Café Experience
Shiva is a health-inspired café, with a Calisthenics, Yoga & Pilates studio run by Chloe & Jimmy which was inspired by their love of travel, obsession with good coffee, fresh food and passion for moving, stretching & surfing.
