We offer a levelling system to help students choose the right classes. All classes are different and the levels are only a guide, however, higher-level classes tend to be both more physically demanding and also introduce more advance practices such as pranayama (breath work) and yoga philosophy. If you’re concerned about your fitness start off with our level 1 classes initially (Basics, Slow flow, Yin and flow and Yin).

Of course! We offer private and corporate yoga programs all over London so it’s easy to schedule a few privates. We find many new students benefit both in terms of confidence and knowing the basics from starting off with a few one-on-ones with a teacher and are then ready and confident to attend regular classes. We can organise these to take place at the studio (schedule permitting) or at a time and place of your choice. We charge £90 for privates at the studio and for privates at a place of your choosing. Please call or email the studio to book in.

Don’t worry. One of the founding principles of Yoga West is that yoga should be accessible for all people irrespective of experience. For info on the best ways to start at Yoga West see the paragraph above on “How to Start Yoga.”

About half of our students book in advance and about half simply turn up. It’s simple to book in advance using the MindBody App or via our site. You normally don’t need to book in advance, however, for weekday evening classes and Saturday and Sunday morning classes it’s not a bad idea to do so.

Congratulations!

Pregnancy classes have the same pricing options as other classes. However you should fill in the separate PRE NATAL REGISTRATION FORM. Existing customers who have previously filled a non-pregnancy registration form and who wish to begin attending a pregnancy form must also complete a PRE NATAL REGISTRATION FORM. Please ask for one at reception.

The studio’s policy is that pregnant woman should not attend classes in their first trimester unless that have spoken to their doctor and have received the OK to do so. Women in their second and third trimester can attend pregnancy classes. These are Thursdays at 5pm with Pavlina. 

If you have an existing practice and no complications in your pregnancy and are in your second trimester there are a number of “pregnancy-friendly” slow flow classes you may attend. Please email us in advance before doing so.

If you would like to attend other classes please email the studio about your pregnancy, yoga experience and which classes you would like to attend. We will then check in with our teachers and confirmed if they are ok for you to attend.

Please don’t hesitate to call or hesitate with any queries or questions. We look forward to seeing you in class.

We offer a levelling system at the studio. If you go to our timetable here and click on the class descriptions you should get a sense of class levels and intensity. We offer three levels of classes. Basics, Slow Flow, Yin and Flow and Yin classes are level 1. These classes are more foundational and tend to focus more on correct alignment than delivering a dynamic workout. We also offer Vinyasa Flow classes, Ashtanga and a couple of the longer Slow Flow classes, which are level 1-2. These classes can accommodate less experienced students but tend to be more physically demanding and challenging. Finally we have Jivamukti and Vinyasa Flow level 2 classes, which are level 2, we suggest that students have at least 6-12 months experience of yoga before attending these classes.

Sadly no showers but we do have changing rooms and offer towel rental.

Everyone… we have a range of people of different ages, shapes, sizes, backgrounds and professions who come to Yoga West from 20-year old musicians to retired doctors. We’re a very diverse group united by an understanding that stepping onto our yoga mat on a regular basis makes our lives healthier and happier.
