Nestled in Islington, The Yoga Studio stands out for keeping class sizes small –  just ten students maximum.  This ensures you won’t feel lost in the crowd, allowing for the kind of personalised attention that can be lacking in larger yoga studios.

The studio offers a wide variety of classes, including Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Restorative, Pilates, Pregnancy yoga, Kids yoga, and Kurunta yoga (yoga with ropes). 

They also emphasise a “Yoga of Kindness” approach. This philosophy encourages individuals to be kind to themselves, fostering both a relaxed mind and a flexible, healthy body. 

Cosy yoga studio with amazing teachers

“Cosy, intimate, professional and fun! I was new to Yoga and within a few months, I completely fell in love with it. With a variety of disciplines every day, you can test what works better for you, whether a more meditative and relaxed practice or a more intense and dynamic flow. Every teacher is available and happy to help you learn and improve. Thank you Emily and Jay for running it, and thank you Scarlett for pushing me to the limit with your dynamic Vinyasa flow. I cannot recommend The Yoga Studio highly enough!”

Peaceful yoga haven with transformative results

“I am so pleased to have found this small and personalised yoga studio and I love going there. The atmosphere is peaceful and the teachers are so lovely. Not only does it feel like escaping to an hour of peace but it also changes the way my body feels. My stiff shoulders and hips are more flexible and my posture is more aligned. I end each class with a thankful smile on my face.”

Challenging pilates with great vibes

“I love love love the Yogarise classes in Peckham. I’ve been going to the Dynamic Pilates class on a Thursday lunchtime for a couple of months now. Our teacher Annie is always positive and full of energy and makes sure that the classes are fresh and challenging, whilst also including options for people of all abilities. The studio itself is also very welcoming and a peaceful place to spend a 45-minute class. I couldn’t recommend this class and the studio enough.”

Harriet Hayes, Google Review

Hidden yoga haven with everything you need

“Fantastic class in a fantastic space! A bit of a hidden gem as you have to navigate the sneaky alleyways of Peckham to find it (and find the right stairs!) But it’s a very cool organisation with multiple studios, jam-packed timetables of classes with a variety of teachers and all kinds of yoga to suit every need. They have changing rooms, equipment to borrow, mats to hire, mat storage to rent and a chill-out space with a mini café in there too. Incredibly friendly staff and generally good vibes all around. Highly recommend it to anyone.”

Additionally, they offer a variety of other classes, including gentler restorative options and even classes for kids. Their classes are available not only in person but also online.

Challenging power yoga classes that deliver

“Nice place for yoga practice! I have been there with 2 different teachers and both were great! The power yoga classes are well structured and the pace is good, easy to follow but demanding. As a note, it is hot inside so be ready to sweat!”

 Yoga for long-term health and happiness

“I have been attending yoga sessions regularly with the Power Yoga Company in Fulham for about 15 years. I attribute the centre to much of my feelings of well-being and good health. I always seem to feel refreshed and calm after the sessions. The class leaders each have their styles but are encouraging and supportive no matter your level. Classes have become part of my routine and I try not to miss them. There is a good range of programmes throughout the day.”

Fierce Grace Hot Yoga stands out in the London yoga scene for its inclusivity, variety, and innovative approach to hot yoga. Often described as the “cool kid” of London’s hot yoga studios, it boasts seven stylish studios across the city.

What truly sets this place apart though is their diverse menu of eight distinct classes. The signature 90-minute “Fierce Grace” class offers a dynamic blend of yoga styles and Pilates for a full-body workout.  

But for those shorter on time, focused classes like “The Fix” (targeting specific areas)  and “Deep Core” (strengthening the core) cater to busy schedules. This variety ensures there’s a class for everyone, from beginners seeking a gentle introduction to seasoned yogis looking to push their limits.

Relaxing hot yoga with thoughtful touches

“I had my first Hot Yoga experience and it was incredible! The studio was very welcoming and clean. The teacher was particularly helpful, especially because I was new. I enjoyed the little details, like the changing room coconut cream and the tea cups available after class. The environment was non-judgmental and made me feel at ease. I felt so relaxed after the class and I am going back next week!”

Ersilia Russo, Google Review

Serenity Space, owned by Carolyn Chiappe, is a yoga studio dedicated to promoting well-being in the local community.

We like that the studio aims to create a space where individuals can connect, reflect, and grow through their yoga practice.

Carolyn Chiappe’s passion for well-being and community is evident in every aspect of Serenity Space. Her commitment to creating a nurturing environment helps foster a sense of belonging and growth among practitioners.

The studio places a high value on relationships, encouraging meaningful connections among participants.

We like how this focus on community helps create a supportive and welcoming atmosphere.

We’re throughly impressed with how the studio maintains high standards of cleanliness and organization, ensuring a safe and pleasant environment for yoga practice.

The implementation of a one-way system and clear mat markings helps maintain order and ease of use.

The studio’s core values—passion, relationships, excellence, responsibility, and fun—are integrated into all aspects of their services.

We find this holistic approach ensures a well-rounded experience that supports both physical and mental health.

“​It goes without saying the past few months have been challenging in some way for all of us. During the height of the pandemic, whilst we were all restricted to staying at home, I embraced this period to use the yogic practice taught by the wonderful teachers at Samsara and go solo. However now that our situation has improved it has been a blessing to return to the studio. It is, as always has been, a lovely safe environment, and I feel my presence there is also helping out those who have helped me out for so long. There is once again a great variety of classes that operate throughout the day which fit perfectly now working life has resumed. And the social, albeit distanced, interaction gives the energy and enjoyment that is such a vital part of studio practice. So grab your mat and come on down.“
