Yotopia

I have been going to Yotopia since April 2012 having bought one of their deals on Living Social or a similar deal site. I've bought deals for hot yoga studio's before but never stayed as they always seem over priced for what they offer - Yotopia is definitely worth the money. It is the friendliest and most fun place I have had classes at, it genuinely feels like another home the more I go. And that's the other thing I am not big on exercise and I am not that great at yoga but this place has definitely made me turn a corner with that. The teachers are firm and encouraging whilst making the classes fun, the myo-fascia aspect of it is really interesting so you learn lots too. I am constantly encouraging my friends to join. There are loads of different classes at a range of levels. And being in Covent Garden makes it easy to get to and easy to meet friends afterwards.

Yotopia is fabulous! There are classes for every level and every taste! People are friendly and teachers are very knowledgeable! All information needed and more can be found on their website! 

A brand new yoga and Pilates place in the midst of Covent Garden next to St. Martin’s Courtyard. This studio only opened end November so while they are settling in, I am already reviewing them!

A few days ago, I passed by this new studio that I had heard about recently and thought I could just pop in and have a look since I am looking for a new studio and they were offering a free trial at the moment. I went in on 1st December to find them still setting up the office / reception equipment (but since they only just opened, this little faux pas is forgiven).

As I did not have the time then to take a class I was given some information about the various classes they offer and a consultation on what courses would suit me best. Afterwards I had to take off my shoes and got a little studio tour.

And what a studio! They have two studios – one normal, one warm – where classes are taking place. They offer courses for all levels, beginners to advanced. The studio provides yoga mats so all you need to bring is yourself, clothes to change and of course a towel.

The classes they offer range from traditional yoga to Pilates but also a new style called myo-fit which is a combination of the two. Additionally, workshops are offered, usually over two hours to deepen your knowledge of yoga and train your core.

I also got to see the changing rooms which are practical (just bring your own padlock) and which also also equipped with showers (in which you can find shower gel and shampoo – very good service!!)

So, check this studio out if you like to try out new styles and developments in yoga and Pilates and take advantage of the free trials that is offered until the end of 2011! Although I have not yet taken a class at Yotopia, I am very much looking forward to it and will update this as soon as I have more information. Until then, Yotopia gets a good four-star rating for now which I might alter once having attended a class. Enjoy!

There's a wide variety of lessons. went to a few - some was a little weird, but most of them are very good.  The instructors are all very experienced but the classes are quite packed though.   I felt I have toned up a bit since going :)
