Quality of Yoga Instruction

Pros:

• "The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive."

Cons:

• "The teacher - Lynda - leads the class with a military like/aggressive approach where she would not allow you to modify any position."

Class Variety and Schedule

Pros:

• "Great variety of classes too with timings to suit all schedules."
• "There are plenty of vinyasa options, and even yin classes for a more restorative option at the end of the week."

• "The variety of classes is really great and also very different one to another."
• "Great yoga studio with a wide variety of class options - heated/unheated, with weights/no weights, etc."

Accessibility and Convenience

Pros:

• "Very close to Holloway tube stop on the Piccadilly line."
