Free Community Yoga Class

A free weekly class every Sunday 4-5pm. Aimed at those less able to afford to pay for yoga in a studio, but also for anyone who is tired of everything in London being just that bit too expensive!
We strongly encourage booking into this class (via our timetable below) but if this is problematic for you, for whatever reason, then please turn up 10 mins before the class start time and the teacher will accommodate  you.

Funded by Strong + Bendy

In the last 5 years we have received a £1,000 grant from Wick Award which has helped us deliver some of the adult inclusive classes. Everything else is paid for out of our own profits. The impact we have on the local community is a key part of Strong + Bendy, as long as we are open we will seek to make fitness inclusive for the wonderful community we are in.
