Yoga Point
Hatha Flow Yoga
Location
If you haven't seen the inside of the Yoga Point studio, washed in white sitting beside the MOT garage on the Dalberg one-way island - its definitely time you did. Having taught there for the last few months I can vouch for it's magical ambience, it's comforting underfloor heating, and it's enlightening skylights facing Herne Hill's clouds as they float past.
On Thursday mornings at 10am I teach a relaxing, but rejuvenating hatha yoga flow class, so far attended by a spectrum of abled-bodied locals all fortunate enough to commit to 90 minutes of destressing, rejuvenating stretches in this wonderfully relaxing space.
There are still spaces within the studio, so if you're free, why not give come along it a go. The class is aimed at beginners to intermediate level students and caters for all ages above 16. Classes cost £9 drop or as little as £6.50 if you purchase a loyalty card.
