Yoga

up to 11 60 min £33 intro offer mats provided

Yoga at Innerform is a breath-led Vinyasa flow - the recovery side of a strong week, and a practice that stands well on its own. It’s the cross-training the rest of your training tends to skip: room for the joints, length for the spine, a slower kind of work after the harder classes. We teach it here in Lewisham, in one open-level class, with the teacher cueing the room through a connected sequence and offering an easier shape whenever you want one. Flexibility is what yoga builds, not what it asks of you - so wherever your body is today is exactly where you start.

A Yoga class at Innerform's Lewisham studio - a member in a long seated fold, the teacher offering a quiet adjustment.

Room for the parts of you the rest of the week forgets.

WHAT TO KNOW

What to know.

What a class is like

Sixty minutes on a mat, moving with your breath. The teacher leads the room through a connected sequence - one shape flowing into the next, the pace led by the breathing rather than by a count - and as the room moves they’ll offer an easier version of anything that isn’t ready yet. You don’t need to know the poses, and you don’t need to keep up with the person next to you; nobody’s watching you, everyone’s busy with their own mat. Mats are provided. Come in bare feet or socks, whichever you prefer - just no shoes in the room. Wear something you can fold and stretch and reach in. That’s it.

How often to come

Like the rest of the timetable - once a week sits really nicely alongside everything else you do. If your week leans hard - a couple of Reformer Pilates or Barre classes, some Small Group Personal Training - a weekly Yoga is the bit that keeps the joints and the spine moving while the rest builds strength. And if Yoga is the practice you came for, it stands on its own just fine. There’s no rule, and there’s no separate plan to follow: it’s all one membership, all on the same schedule, come to what suits your week.

Who teaches it

Our teachers come from different schools, different countries, different backgrounds - and the ones leading Yoga teach the room in front of them, not a script. They cue posture and breath in plain English, and they’ll come round with a quiet adjustment or a gentler option if you’d like one - never a correction in front of the class. You’ll have the same teacher in your weekly slot, so they get to know how you move. See who’s teaching Yoga this week on the schedule, or meet the whole roster on the teachers page.

QUESTIONS

About Yoga.

What style of yoga do you teach?

Vinyasa flow - that’s the one style we teach. Vinyasa links postures together with the breath, so the class moves through a connected sequence rather than holding one shape for a long stretch. We don’t run hatha, yin, restorative or slow-flow classes; teaching one style means a focused class and teachers who really know it. If you’ve done a flowing, breath-paced yoga class before, that’s the family this one’s in.

Is it hot yoga?

No - it isn’t hot yoga, and we don’t currently run any heated classes. The room is at normal studio temperature, the same as our Reformer Pilates and Mat Pilates classes. You won’t be working in a heated room, and there’s no hot mat on the schedule either.

Do I need to be flexible?

No - flexibility is what yoga builds, not what it asks of you. Most people who walk in for the first time will tell you they can’t touch their toes; the class is built to meet that, with an easier shape on offer for anything that doesn’t move freely yet. Stiff hips, tight hamstrings, a back that doesn’t bend the way it used to - this class is for those bodies, not against them. You’ll feel the difference over a few weeks, and you don’t need to look like anything to get there.

How is this different from Mat Pilates?

Yoga moves through breath-led postures; Mat Pilates works precise, controlled repetitions of small movements. They’re easy to mix up - both happen on a mat, both are gentler on the body than Reformer or Barre - but they’re after different things. Yoga is about mobility, range and decompression; Mat Pilates is about deep-core control and the fundamentals that strength work is built on. Plenty of members do both, on the same membership, for exactly that reason - different jobs, both worth doing. There’s more on Mat Pilates on its own page if you’re weighing them up.
