The Cafe is Open — Thank You for Coming

The cafe opened its doors this past Saturday, and it has been quietly wonderful. Thank you to everyone who came in for a coffee, a bake, a chat, or just to sit for a while. There’s something special about a room being used the way you always imagined it would be. This weekend, that’s exactly what happened.

We genuinely want to hear your thoughts. What worked? What didn’t? What would you like us to serve? What could be better? Share your feedback in person next time you’re here, drop a note on the way out, or message us on the studio WhatsApp. Every bit of feedback shapes what this space becomes.

Saturdays and Sundays are our Fresh Baked days — warm bakes, real coffee, and a proper place to sit. During the week, the cafe is also open in a quieter working-hours version. Enjoy a decaf between meetings, a slice of something sweet in the afternoon, or a plate of what we’ve made that morning.

If you have a favourite item you’d like to see on the menu, let us know. Half of what’s on there already came from someone asking.

Two Weeks Left on Early Yogi — For the September Cohorts

While we have you, here’s a gentle reminder. The Early Yogi discount closes on Thursday, 31 July for Foundation and Integrative — the two courses starting in September. That’s just under two weeks away. Yogic Breath & Yogic Mindfulness starts in October, so its Early Yogi runs a little longer, until 31 August. Each course has its own savings, so it’s worth looking at the one that fits you.

We offer three training paths, each with a different intention:

Foundation 200h — Start Your Yoga Journey

Our classical 200-hour course is rooted in the Sanatan and Gitananda traditions, accredited by Yoga Alliance Professionals. This course is for anyone ready to take their practice seriously and step into teaching over time. It spans 9 months, with monthly Sundays and guided online study. We have 15 places available. The cohort starts on Sunday, 27 September.

Early Yogi: £1,800 (save £200, standard £2,000). → Foundation 200h

Integrative 500h — Deepen Your Personal Development

This advanced pathway is designed for qualified 200h teachers ready to work therapeutically and one-to-one. It lasts 12 months and includes in-person Saturday and Sunday weekends at the studio, along with a retreat week in Portugal. This is where practice becomes vocation. The cohort starts in September.

Early Yogi: £3,200 (save £400, standard £3,600). → Integrative 500h

Yogic Breath & Yogic Mindfulness 100h — For Practice Development

This 10-month specialist immersion is rooted in the Gitananda tradition. It’s for committed practitioners who want to learn to teach prāṇāyāma, dhāraṇā, and yoga nidrā properly — no 200h required. There are 14 in-studio days with 15 places available. The cohort starts on Saturday, 31 October, which is why the Early Yogi runs longer here, until 31 August.

Early Yogi: £1,600 (save £200, standard £1,800). → Yogic Breath & Yogic Mindfulness 100h

A small note we’re rather proud of: our first Foundation cohort at the studio finishes this month, and several of them are already teaching with us. Watching them step onto the mat as teachers — for real students, in real classes — has been one of the most joyful things about this first year. It’s the reason we do this work. If any of them have taught you already, you’ll know exactly what we mean.

For everyone who has already expressed interest — I’ll be reaching out to you personally this week to check in and answer any questions you may have. If you’d rather come to me first, or if you have a question you haven’t asked yet, please send me a message on the studio WhatsApp. That’s the fastest way to reach me, and no question is too small.

If you already know you’re in, secure your spot by 31 July to lock in the Early Yogi price.

The Workspace Opens 1 August

For anyone who’s been asking (and there have been many of you): the co-working workspace opens on Friday, 1 August. Enjoy a quiet room, good wifi, decent coffee downstairs, a proper chair, and a studio full of yoga if you need to un-desk yourself at lunchtime.

More details on memberships, day passes, and quiet hours will be available in a separate post this week. If you’d like to be first in the door, reply to this, and we’ll hold a spot for launch morning.

New Classes on the Schedule

We’ve been quietly adding classes to the timetable, and there are two new ones we’re especially pleased with:

Loma-Viloma — Core Activation

Wednesdays at 10:30 am. This precise, focused class draws on the Gitananda breath-and-bandha tradition. Loma-Viloma works the deep core — not the six-pack, but the real core — through breath, gentle movement, and conscious activation. It’s the kind of practice that changes how you stand, how you sit, and how your back feels by the end of the week. Warm, small, and deeply satisfying.

Movement Class

Wednesdays at 12 pm. This middle-of-the-day mobility and movement class is flowing and un-fussed, providing a proper release for the desk-bound. It’s not vinyasa, and it’s not a workout; it’s movement in the older sense, where the body remembers what it’s meant to do.

A note on the 6:30 am warm practices we mentioned: with the school holidays looming and August traditionally quieter at the studio, we’ve decided to hold those until September, when everyone is back and wanting to be on the mat before sunrise.

The rest of the schedule continues through the summer. If you’re around in August, come — the heat outside makes the practice inside feel especially good.

Practice with Us — In the Room or From Home

A quick note on how to join, because we want this to be as easy as possible for everyone.

Online Classes — £3 Drop-In. We stream a good part of our schedule live, making it one of the most accessible ways to keep a daily practice going. Three pounds, wherever you are, no travel, no hassle. Members with a class plan or pack are welcome to use the online classes too — no extra charge.

When you book, look for the 🌍 symbol — that’s the online option. Please make sure you’re booking the right one: anyone booked into the virtual class cannot then join in person, and vice versa. This helps us keep the room the right size and the stream properly hosted.

In-Person Drop-In — £13, or included in your plan or pack.

Our Therapeutic Window — £5 Drop-In, 10:30 am to 3:30 pm. These are the quieter classes of the day, treated as our therapeutic window. They feature softer paces and more attention on alignment and breath. It’s the kind of practice that meets a body that’s been sitting, driving, working, or recovering. Loma-Viloma at 10:30, Movement at 12, and other gentle, therapeutic offerings sit inside this window. £5 at the door for any of them. This is ideal if you work from home, work shifts, are new to yoga, or simply want a mid-day reset.

Sponsored Classes — £5 or Free, even at peak times. A handful of classes on the schedule are sponsored, meaning the fee is lowered or waived entirely thanks to a local supporter. Please double-check the class listing when you book — we mark these clearly, and we don’t want you paying full price for one that’s already been paid forward.

If anything about the schedule or pricing is confusing, message the studio WhatsApp, and we’ll walk you through it.

That’s It for Today

Thank you for a lovely opening weekend. Tell us what you thought — we’re listening.
