Prices, memberships and good to knowHow to book, what to bring, getting thereAbout The Yoga Edge
The Yoga Edge sits on Church Road in Crystal Palace, a small studio that puts yoga at the center of its week. Most of the timetable is yoga, from energising flows and hip openers to slow Yin and restorative sessions, with Pilates and strength work alongside. Mornings carry much of the schedule, and a steady run of evening classes follows after work.

A yoga-led timetable
Most of what happens at The Yoga Edge is yoga, and the studio offers a clear range within it. Yoga Flow and Dynamic Flow are the energising classes, building strength and balance through breath-led movement. Nurturing Flow and Yin slow things down, with longer holds that help you tune into alignment and sensation.
Alongside the yoga sits Pilates, along with Strength Flow, which uses light weights to build control and tone while staying grounded in the breath. Sculpt is the most intense option on the timetable, a 45-minute full-body session with cardio intervals set to an uplifting playlist.
How the week runs
About half of the classes start in the morning, and the earliest begins at 7am. Evenings carry about a third of the week, running up to 7pm. Weekend classes make up about a fifth of the timetable.
Most classes last 60 minutes. The Yoga Edge's facilitators, among them Tom Hamilton, Sally Connor, Charlotte Taylor, Niki Püspöki and Nathalie Websdale, bring their own approach to each class, so the same practice can feel quite different from one facilitator to the next.
The Yoga Edge: questions and answers
What kind of classes does The Yoga Edge teach?
Yoga is the most common practice here, and most classes are yoga of some kind. Most people practice in the morning, and the earliest class starts at 7am, with the latest at 7pm. Pilates and strength work are on the timetable too, but in smaller numbers.
Is The Yoga Edge good for beginners?
Several classes are marked for all levels, and a fair number of others are labeled for more experienced practitioners, so it helps to read each class description first. The Yoga Edge's Nurturing Flow is slower and more spacious, and its Yin class is held in long, floor-based poses. Both suit a first visit well.
How long are the classes?
Typical classes last 60 minutes. Sculpt is shorter, at 45 minutes, and runs as a full-body session with light weights and cardio intervals.
When do most people practice here?
Most classes start in the morning, and the busiest start times are 10am, 12:30pm, 5:45pm and 6:15pm. Tuesday, Friday and Sunday are the busiest days of the week.
Do I need a pass to book a class?
No passes are needed for the classes on the timetable, so you can book the class you want directly with the studio. Check the website at theyogaedge.co.uk for the latest details.
Where is The Yoga Edge and who leads the classes?
The Yoga Edge is at 83 Church Rd in Crystal Palace. The studio has about ten facilitators, and Tom Hamilton, Sally Connor and Charlotte Taylor are among those with the most classes.
