Who you will meet

Four teachers

Between them they have taught here for eleven years. Two came to yoga late, one came to it after a burnout, and one was a student in this room for three years first.

Everyone here teaches every level

There is no beginners’ timetable and no advanced class. Each teacher plans for the room in front of them, which means offering three versions of most things and being unbothered when half the room takes the easiest one.

If you want to start with a particular person, the schedule shows who is teaching what.

Start here

Your first class costs nothing.

Pick an hour, tell us it is your first, and someone will meet you at the top of the stairs.
