A bit about me...

As an investment banker working in a male-dominated setting, I was well accustomed to working 90+ hour weeks in a highly competitive environment. As I had little time for meaningful exercise, a colleague recommended I try a beginner's hot yoga class, Bikram Yoga, assuring me that attending as little as one session a week could help me completely eliminate stress. My first couple of sessions were admittedly a challenge, but I soon found it easier, and quickly realised the benefits of the yoga, the intense feeling of accomplishment and empowerment, as well as the powerful health benefits in weight loss, improved flexibility, detoxification, and that much sough-after stress relief.

A year later, feeling healthier, leaner, and far calmer and clear minded, I took a sabbatical from my career and attended intensive teacher training, later returning to finance, rejuvenated and refreshed, laying future plans to provide dedicated, state-of-the art hot yoga venues where people of all ages and abilities could surpass their own expectations.

In 2008, during the midst of the financial meltdown, I discovered the perfect space located by the water at Canary Wharf. Taking a big leap, I quit my financial job and built Canary Wharf's first, state-of the art hot yoga studio, initially expecting a mostly corporate clientele. However, the studio soon grew to attract people from all walks of life, and in time we expanded the business to include a second prime location at London Bridge.

Our studios now attract people of all ages (some in their 80's!) and diverse backgrounds, from taxi drivers to NHS workers, and professional athletes to of course the many corporate professionals who benefit from the highly addictive and engaging form of yoga and pilates our studios offer.

We welcome just about everyone, no matter your age or level of fitness.
