An empty yoga studio in the morning, with sunlight from tall sash windows falling across wooden floorboards and rows of mats.

Small yoga classes in a sunny room on Green Door Lane

Eighteen mats, four teachers and a timetable that starts at seven. Come for one class, or settle into a weekly habit.

We keep classes small so your teacher knows your name, notices the shoulder you're protecting and can offer you a block before you need to ask.

Lotus opened in 2016 above the old print works. Most people come twice a week, a few come every morning, and plenty of them had never done yoga before their first class here.

Your first class

There's nothing to buy and nothing to learn beforehand. Here's what happens.

  1. Book a beginner-friendly class

    Anything marked “all levels” works. Slow Flow on a Tuesday evening is a good place to start.

  2. Arrive ten minutes early

    We'll show you where to leave your things, find you a mat and ask about any injuries.

  3. Rest whenever you like

    Your teacher will offer simpler options all the way through. Lying down for a bit is always allowed.

From people who come here

I'd tried three studios and felt lost in all of them. At Lotus, Sam noticed I was guarding my knee in the first ten minutes, and two years later I still go every Tuesday.

Hannah P.Slow Flow, since 2023

Restorative Evening is the only ninety minutes of my week when nobody needs anything from me.

Joe M.Restorative Evening

The 7am class is small enough that I'd feel bad skipping it, which is exactly what I needed.
