The flexible studio option
MoreYoga offers yoga and Pilates across its studio network. The original article highlighted an accessible, no-fuss approach. Use the current studio finder and timetable to choose a nearby class and a level that suits your experience.
The beginner’s one
Located at Honor Oak Wellness Rooms in South East London, this 3 hour yoga for beginner’s workshop promises to teach you all of the basic yoga poses, including simple breathing techniques and guided meditation. If you’re brand new to yoga, or would like to build up your confidence before joining a regular class, this course could be a good option. Available to book through Obby, the learning marketplace. www.obby.co.uk
The retreat idea
the original article featured an urban retreat with Stephen Marks, combining yoga, guided meditation and other relaxation activities. Its dated September event is not a current offer. If the format appeals to you, look for a current programme and ask about the schedule, qualifications and what is included before booking.
The multi-sensory one
Based in Aldgate, FLY LDN is a multi-sensory yoga experience, complete with spine tingling playlists and cinematic visuals. Classes utilise traditional vinyasa sequences and are said to complement traditional strength training and fitness principles. If this sounds like the class for you, ease in gently with a Base Flow or Slow Flow class, progressing to Flow Life with its more dynamic sequences. www.flyldn.co.uk
The hot pod one
With classes in Notting Hill, Brixton, South Wimbledon and Hackney, Hotpod Yoga is just like it sounds- around 20 people in an inflatable cocoon like pod heated to 37 degrees, complete with muted purple lighting and urban chill tunes. Classes have roots in vinyasa flow where breathing is synchronised with a dynamic flow of movements. The heat is said to aid flexibility and movement whilst making the heart work that bit harder. www.hotpodyoga.com
Pregnancy yoga
the original selection included a Black Cat Yoga class in Brixton. Availability and venue need checking. During pregnancy, choose a suitably qualified teacher and discuss appropriate activity with your maternity care team where needed. A general article cannot determine when a particular class is suitable for you.
