yogahaven Clapham — Local services in London

I've practiced yoga for around a decade now. I've moved location several times, tried many other studios and always come back to yogahaven. For the price versus quality of tuition, nowhere beats it!

I've actually tried a couple of their other studios when living in different areas of london and the standard remains consistent.

The reception is warm and welcoming, and the tutors always make you feel calm and confident even when you're a little out of your depth in one of the trickier classes! There's a wide variety of styles available from meditative yin to power yoga to hot vinyasa flow.

I'm currently pregnant and absolutely love how open minded their pre-natal classes are. The instructor, Jo, manages to cater an incredibly varied class - from those who are set to pop who are looking for relaxation, mobility and birthing guidance; to those who are in the early stages of their pregnancy, such as myself, who are seeking a more dynamic class whilst practising safely in our new and ever changing bodies. How Jo manages this for 90 minutes with such positivity and enthusiasm throughout is beyond me!

I would also like to offer a shout out to Tess who has been the most inspiring tutor for me before pregnancy and during when I was still practising regular vinyasa. Her support and kindness were invaluable to me in my first trimester.

I've rambled on(!) but I must also mention Austin as I so miss his dynamic classes and "tough love" approach to yoga. I am already itching to get back to his sessions postpartum.

Thank you yogahaven for offering such an incredible platform for healing mind and body. You've saved me from many a stressful time in my life and I am very...

I’ve just completed my teacher training with Yogahaven and am literally on cloud 9 right now - the whole experience was just a dream! I’ve been practicing with YH for a few years and finally plucked up the courage to go for the TT with them and am sooooo glad I did! The support was incredible, both from the course teachers as well as my fellow now graduated yoga teachers! I signed up to the course simply to deepen my own practice and understanding - but I got so so much more from the experience than that.... including discovering that I actually really really enjoy teaching! Allie, Amy and Tess are so knowledgeable you instantly know you’re in great hands - but they are also incredibly supportive and encouraging along the way which really gave me confidence. I could write an essay on why I loved this training so much - but rather than do that all I would say is if you’re interested, don’t wait...... you will not...

I started to come to Hot Yoga in January 2013, not expecting to do more than take up the introductory offer: a year later and I'm still going four times a week, still loving it, still feeling enthused, surprised, and challenged. This is such a friendly studio, cheerful and welcoming from the front desk to the mat. Each teacher has their own subtly distinct style - while following the quickly recognisable over-arching sequence - so every class feels like an opportunity to develop different aspects of your practice; I've been so impressed at how each teacher offers individually-tailored suggestions and adjustments, showing wonderfully genuine and generous attention to every individual's practice and habits. The morning sessions set up my day, and the evening sessions kick away the accumulated stress, and weekend sessions sort out the hangovers. Brilliant studio run by...
