Yoga Classes in Vauxhall / Nine Elms
Move, breathe and build strength in our friendly small-group yoga classes, from Gentle Yoga and Chair Yoga to Morning Flow and Yoga Flow, with specialist pregnancy, restorative and sound-led sessions also available.
From a gentle reset to a stronger flow
Choose a class based on how you want to move and feel. Some are slower and more supportive, while others are stronger and more energising, with options offered throughout.
If you’re completely new to yoga, Gentle Yoga is the best place to start.
Choose the yoga class that suits you
Our weekly yoga classes range from accessible, slower-paced sessions to stronger flowing practices. Compare the five main styles below to help decide which classes you’d like to try.
Gentle Yoga
BEST FOR BEGINNERS
Steady · Supportive · Grounding
Gentle Yoga uses slower sequences with attention to alignment, breathing and comfortable movement. It helps you build confidence and familiarity without needing to keep up with a faster flow.
- A strong starting point for complete beginners
- Build mobility, balance and body awareness
- Options for different bodies and experience levels
Why choose it?
Choose Gentle Yoga if you are new, returning after time away or simply want a calmer class focused on movement, breathing and technique.
Chair Yoga
MOST ACCESSIBLE
Supported · Accessible · Adaptable
Chair Yoga is practised seated or with a chair for support, making yoga more accessible when floor-based poses, kneeling or transitions are uncomfortable.
- No need to get down onto the floor
- Support for balance and mobility
- Uses bands and yoga props to build upper body strength and flexibility
Why choose it?
Choose Chair Yoga when floor-based movement feels less accessible, or when you want to enjoy the benefits of yoga with the added support and confidence of a seated practice.
Yin Yoga & Sound Therapy
SLOWER PRACTICE
Release · Mindfulness · Relaxation
Yin Yoga uses sustained poses to slowly and gently ease tension, encouraging both flexibility and mobility. The session ends with a soothing sound bath, creating space to relax, reset and unwind.
- Longer-held positions with time to settle
- A quiet contrast to our more flowing classes
- Includes a relaxing sound-led finish
Why choose it?
Choose Yin Yoga if you want to slow the pace, spend longer in each position and finish with a calm, sound-led relaxation.
Morning Flow
UPLIFTING START
Energising · Balanced · Focused
Morning Flow is an uplifting practice designed to develop strength, balance and flexibility while setting you up for the day ahead. It has more movement and continuity than Gentle Yoga.
- Build strength and mobility together
- Flowing sequences with a clear morning lift
- Open to most levels except complete beginners
Why choose it?
Choose Morning Flow if you already have some yoga experience and want an energising, well-rounded practice without moving straight into the strongest class.
Yoga Flow
STRONGER PRACTICE
Dynamic · Flowing · Challenging
Yoga Flow uses breath-synchronised vinyasa sequences to create a stronger, more continuous practice, developing strength, mobility, balance and stamina.
- Stronger bodyweight-based practice
- Continuous flowing sequences
- Best suited to intermediate and experienced students
Why choose it?
Choose Yoga Flow if you enjoy a physical challenge, know common yoga movements and want a more dynamic practice that keeps breathing and awareness at its centre.

Yoga class questions
Useful answers if you are deciding where to begin or which type of Yoga is likely to suit you.
I have never done yoga — where should I start?
For most complete beginners, Gentle Yoga is the best group-class starting point. If getting down to the floor or moving through floor-based poses is difficult, Chair Yoga may be more suitable. If you would rather learn privately first, we also offer one-to-one and beginner-session options.
How are Gentle Yoga, Morning Flow and Yoga Flow different?
Gentle Yoga is slower and more supportive, Morning Flow offers an energising but balanced practice, and Yoga Flow is the strongest and most continuous of the three. The class descriptions above give you a practical comparison before you book.
What should I wear or bring?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Yoga is normally practised barefoot. Mats are available at the studio; bring water and anything else that helps you feel comfortable.
Do I need to book in advance?
Advance booking is recommended, particularly for popular classes. Use the teacher schedules above or the full timetable to see current availability.
Can I practise yoga during pregnancy?
We offer a dedicated Pregnancy Yoga class along with a selection of other classes you can potentially attend during pregnancy. More for information, visit our pregnancy yoga page.
