Battersea Yoga Studio

An oasis of warm ancient healing, wrapped in a lovely house hiding from the street. As we walk through the little stones path into the studio, there is a feeling that the world is getting behind you. The mats are high quality and new, and everything is well cared for. The staff as well as the community are super welcoming and the price is great for the full day calendar they have to offer. It is the gem of Battersea.

Sometimes you need to unlearn everything, only to learn it again with a new mindset. Coming from a very hectic world with stress and constant pressure (mostly self-inflicted), the Mindfulness classes at Battersea Yoga literally changed my life. I believe I’m not the first one to say this. It enabled me to see the world with new eyes and allowed me to discover that my mind didn’t need to be stuck in a place of anxiety and stressful thoughts. I am now able to face the world with a much more accepting and non-judging mindset. I have been able to let things simply go. Once you experience that you don’t have to spend all that time in your head judging yourself or worrying about what has been and what may happen tomorrow, it is the most incredible release. Being able to enjoy the current moment is the most simple thing, yet the hardest. The fact I had to go to a class to learn it is a mystery, but it’s funny how life sometimes just gets a hold of you and makes you stuck. Battersea Yoga welcomes you with open arms. It’s people and sense of community is the studio’s strength, whilst at the same time allowing you to guilt free put yourself and your wellbeing in focus. Enjoying the natural light hitting you from it’s windows, smelling the candles and insense, whilst enjoying the free cookies and herbal teas - it’s all good. After now six months of weekly practice, this yoga studio and its accepting, calm and fun community has become something I simply need. Every time I walk into the studio, I feel at peace and calm. Allowing myself a weekly (or so) check-in, I am able to maintain my hectic day-to-day life with a much calmer mind and feeling like I can handle anything challenge, stress or anxiety heading my way. Grateful for this little Battersea gem right on my doorstep. PS. The gong is pretty bad ass as well, and is surprisingly addictive.

Battersea Yoga is a beautiful little oasis - it provides a warm, welcoming environment for anyone who seeks stillness away from the frantic pace of London life. It's always amazes me how much more balanced and calm I feel when I leave the studio. I'm so grateful to have stumbled across this community last year, and I look forward to continue to learn and grow in my yoga and meditation practice. The teachers are the BEST, extremely friendly and knowledgeable...you will want to return again and again.

Many times I've driven past this quaint little street with a beautiful studio at the end of it, and have always wanted to give it a try. Sunday afternoon the stars aligned so I went down for a Yin Yoga class taken by the lovely Sophy Mills. The studio is perfect, clean, well organised and well setup. Sophy was great, and took the time to chat with me beforehand and then helped to make sure I was given modifications to some of the exercises (because of my back problems). The class was perfect for a Sunday afternoon and the perfect antidote to a pretty busy life- I loved just switching off, listening to her voice and relaxing. It's a non-judgemental & non-competitive environment which means that even a relative beginner like me can feel comfortable and at ease. I'll certainly be back and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect yoga studio.

Battersea Yoga is not only a beautiful and unique studio tucked away in a quiet courtyard a few meters away from Battersea Park but also a very supportive community. Teachers are carefully chosen, very knowledgeable and friendly. They offered a wide range of yoga classes, mindfullness/pranayama courses as well as therapy. Attending my first class a couple of years ago was the start of an ongoing life changing journey where I discover the true meaning of yoga and how it could improve my life in so many way. So grateful for all the teachers/staff/students I have met over the years. A peaceful and safe heaven. More than highly recommended, from beginners to regular as there is a real emphasis on working at your own pace. An oasis of peace & warmth at the heart of Battersea.

It started in a moment of ‘stop looking and love will find you’. Despite being a Battersea resident, I discovered Battersea Yoga (or maybe it found me?) only last year, during a time when my need for calm and clarity was imperative. Several months later I am, and continue to be, transformed by the kindness, wisdom and experience of the teachers, in yoga and meditation. The studio oozes warmth, literally and metaphorically, and is a welcoming, restful environment in which to find peace. It is truly one of London’s hidden gems and is a credit to the neighbourhood. If you are considering a mindfulness practice, be it in yoga or meditation (I recommend both), you couldn’t make a better decision than to visit Battersea Yoga. Your heart and head will thank you for it.

I have started yoga several times but have never kept at it. However, I started at Battersea Yoga at the begining of this year and I am still in love with the place. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing and the teachers are talented and welcoming. I attend 3 classes a week but I always try to fit in more as it does wonders for my body and mind. This is by far the best yoga studio I have tried out!

It's a beautiful space nestled away private and safe. The atmosphere of the building is welcoming clean and light and there are such a great diverse range of teachers. The real heart is the sense of community and friendly people all committed to growth and supporting each other's best interests. A rare gem in the big city, a genuine community hub.

I tried out Battersea Yoga as a beginner and felt very welcomed. Ended up going on one of their retreats to Turkey and had the most amazing week. If you've never tried yoga before and want to give it a go, this is the place to get started.

Lovely studio, a peaceful haven from the bustle of London. There's a variety of yoga classes, as well as mindfulness and meditation. All the instructors are great and really take an interest in the individuals during class. Love their restorative yoga classes!

A tranquil, beautiful studio right by Battersea Park. It is the perfect yoga studio. The teachers and classes are excellent and its an all round experience with posture and meditation workshops and lots of other things. Highly recommended!

A wonderfully enchanting space full of peace,love and happiness. Each teacher has a unique and individual style of teaching and will guide you through your practice with care and attention, I really cannot recommend this place enough!

Battersea yoga is not on my doorstep, my intention was a few beginners classes pre impulsive yoga holiday....... However, since my first visit, I have never looked back nor searched for anything closer to home! Everything is perfect from the gorgeous space to the amazing staff. If you are looking for a practice that is gentle yet also offers a challenge then you have Angus, Laurent & Aoife and higher on my personal challenge-o-metre!!! are Emma, Toni and Matt (plus many others I hear who are just as great). Each teacher offering something unique in their practice yet providing the same warmth, support and encouragement whatever your level, the only pressure being that which you put on your self! Loving Battersea Yoga Chris

I fell in love with yoga as soon as I have started with Battersea Yoga! And had that moment "why haven't I started earlier"? oh well! Now Im am definitely regular there and up for the november challenge too as I would love to go to the retreat in summer 2017! Come and join us!

There is no yoga class where the instructor doesn’t mention how important breathing is. I have tried over 50 yoga instructors/studios in 3 countries. This is the first studio where they say it and actually teach you how to do it too.

A hidden gem tucked away from the hustle and bustle of London life in a quiet residential spot near Battersea Park. The studio is so inviting; fairy lights, underfloor heating and coloured lights to set the right atmosphere for each class. Fully equipped with high quality yoga mats and accessories for all to use (convenient for classes after work as you don't have to carry a yoga mat on the Underground during peak time!). Great variety of teachers with a range of classes - Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Dynamic Yoga, Mindfulness Classes, Restorative Yoga, Core and Pelvic Floor, Kundalini Yoga, Pregnancy Yoga - as well as a variety of workshops to work the mind, body and soul. There are no egos and the classes are truly for all levels. The teachers are so attentive to adjusting your postures and encouraging you to progress. Attending classes is a joy rather than a chore to do exercise. After discovering yoga in Thailand earlier this year, I didn't think I would find a studio in London that could match the positive energy and relaxed vibe in this busy city.... until I discovered Battersea Yoga :)

Battersea Yoga is a wonderful space in the heart of Battersea/Clapham.It has a variety of classes from Hatha yoga to Bioenergenics ( my favourite). The Studio is an ideal place to escape from the fast pace of life and the busy thinking head. Just stepping into the studio you can breath in the peaceful atmosphere. The studio feels like home from home ( a cosy, safe, friendly space), you are always greeted with a smile. In addition to the great space there a lot of wonderful different teachers, all incredibly knowledgeable and grounded. Battersea yoga is different to most yoga stuidos, not only does it have amazing classes all which are taught mindfully ( so you are getting far much more than a workout) it has a great community of lovely warm people. For me personally it has been life changing in so many ways. A couple of years of yoga with Battersea Yoga has meant I have avoided major back surgery, and made some amazing friends at the same time of learning to have peaceful moments even in the most stressful situations ( life skills which are helpful for everyone ) . The yoga is for everyone whether you are 90 or 16 it's not about how flexible you are. When i started I could barely teach my knees ! it didn't matter in the slightest! you are always made to feel that you are perfect just the way you are.
