Downward Dog at the Best Yoga Classes in London

Looking for a yoga class in London? Here are some of the best in town

Nothing clears a busy mind and stretches out a tired body quite like a good yoga class. Yoga builds core strength, increases flexibility and works wonders when you’ve got injuries that rule out other forms of exercise, so it’s a great full-body workout, regardless of whether you’re into the spiritual aspect of it or not. While it’s easy to do at home – or anywhere that you can roll out a yoga mat – if you don’t wanna practice those sun salutations solo, there are plenty of excellent yoga classes in London for you to stretch in.

No matter where in London you live, you’re probably not too far away from your nearest yoga class. You can find dedicated yoga studios pretty much everywhere in the city, with some favourites including Hotpod Yoga (Belgravia, Hackney & Brixton) and Triyoga (Chelsea, Camden, Ealing & Shoreditch). But, general fitness centres and gyms will also have their own programmes of yoga classes, so you’ll be able to get your dose of downward dogs as an extra perk to your memberships.

Hotpod Yoga, one of the best yoga classes in London

Hotpod Yoga

Hotpod Yoga is all about yoga for real life, meaning it’s suitable for all abilities. The classes are held in custom inflatable pods, with the heat set at 37 degrees, rather than in a studio so you get a smaller class size. The dim lighting and downtempo music also makes you feel like you’re in a cocoon, so it’s a more relaxing vibe even though you’re still working hard.
