Living Life to the Full
Lumi Power Yoga exists to make a difference in people’s lives. As a yoga studio and community, the common thread is transformation: illuminating the body, awakening the mind, and accessing the unlimited power within us. With a smile and ease.
Baptiste Yoga is at the heart of what we do and majority of our classes are inspired by Baptiste Yoga, a transformational practice and a way of living life to the full. Lumi is proud to be the first Baptiste Affiliate Studio in Europe.
The Lumi practice is suitable for every body. The practice will benefit every body. We encourage you to come to our classes and workshops exactly as you are – that’s perfection! Our culture is friendly, welcoming and open and we’re on a mission to make this powerful yoga practice accessible to everyone.
Lumi represents what we believe to be true about any committed endeavour: unlimited potential.
Authenticity – Connection – Power
The mission of Lumi Power Yoga is to support each and every person to discover an authentic, extraordinary power and expression, on and off the mat.
By accessing our true selves we achieve more than we ever imagined possible. In Lumi Power Yoga we conduct ourselves with integrity, and empower our students and the community to discover the power of living, loving and connecting fully in every moment.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to support clients of any age and any shape on a journey towards authentic power and well-being. I treat each person as a whole and bring my experience, intuition and natural joy of life to each interaction. My goal is to create an experience that makes you feel re-energised and renewed.
Ari
Ari is a co-founder of Lumi Power Yoga and a Certified Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher – one of few in Europe. He has completed over 500 hours of training with Baptiste Institute and is RYT-500 with Yoga Alliance.
An unlikely yogi, he grew up on a farm and went on to build a successful business career in Europe and the US. He stumbled on yoga as a way to cope with burnout and the Baptiste studio in Boston quickly became his second home. He was initially hooked by the physical feelgood factor – the practice left him feeling alive and awake in a way he had not experienced before. Other changes followed in quick succession and his life took a decisive turn towards yoga.
Ari never imagined that he would teach yoga, yet teaching and practising yoga turned out to be the most transformative experiences of his life. He is excited to share what he’s discovered on the journey over the past ten years. Ari’s classes are strong, grounded and fun – and filled with opportunities to take your practice and your life to the next level.
I love sharing the power of this practice, on and off the mat, and am committed to empowering each person to realise their full potential and expression.
"Getting there It’s just a hop skip and a jump to come and practice with us! Lumi Studio is easily accessible via all means of transport. In the heart of Hammersmith, the studio is also close to Chiswick, Fulham, Kensington, Wood Green and Shepherds Bush. Public Transport We are about 5 walk down King Street from Hammersmith tube stations with Piccadilly, District, Circle and Hammersmith and City lines. If you are coming from the other direction with District line, you could hop off at Ravenscourt Park. Hammersmith is also great for buses with zillions of them travelling through Hammersmith Broadway station.. Biking and Walking The ultimate yogic forms of transport! Highly recommended and there are plenty of bike racks on the street outside the studio. Pretty safe also as King Street is busy with traffic at all times. No bikes into the studio though, sorry! Driving The studio is easily accessible from A4 and the Hammersmith Gyratory (with the caveat of traffic conditions!). There is no parking at the studio itself but the Kings Mall car park on Glenthorne Road is just round the corner. Vroom vroom!"
