Pilates and yoga at the core
Pilates is the largest part of the timetable here, and reformer is the style that appears most often. Reformer Pilates runs in All Levels and Foundations versions, along with a Women's Health class built around strength and mobility. Mat Pilates, which focuses on strength, stability and body awareness, is also on the timetable.
The yoga side is built around alignment. Alignment Yoga is offered at Foundations, All Levels and Experienced, so you can step up as your practice grows. Yin Yoga offers the slow, floor-based counterpart, with postures held for longer to ease tension and settle the mind.
Classes for specific needs and stages
Beyond the core classes, The Yoga Mela London runs sessions for specific needs and life stages. Pregnancy Yoga focuses on gentle movement as the body changes, and Postnatal Mat Pilates with Babies lets you bring your baby along while rebuilding core strength and pelvic floor function. Dudes + Dads Yoga is an alignment-focused class designed for men.
The studio's roughly ten facilitators are most often Chelsey Elisa, Jemma Bryan and Ciara Watson, and classes are taught in English.
The Yoga Mela London: questions and answers
What kinds of classes does The Yoga Mela London offer?
Most of the classes here are Pilates and yoga, and about half of all classes are reformer work. The rest runs across alignment-based yoga, mat Pilates, yin, gentle yoga and a few classes for pregnancy, postnatal life and parent and child.
Is The Yoga Mela London good for beginners?
Yes. The Gentle / Beginners Yoga class is built for people learning the foundations of yoga in a calm and supportive setting. For reformer Pilates, beginners are asked to attend three Foundations classes before joining an All Levels class, and Alignment Yoga Foundations is a slower-paced starting point too.
How long are the classes?
Most classes run 45 or 60 minutes. Reformer and mat Pilates sessions are usually 45 minutes, and the yoga classes, including yin and the pregnancy and postnatal sessions, are usually 60 minutes.
When do most people practice at this studio?
Mornings are the most common time to practice here, with about half of the classes starting before noon. The earliest class starts at 6:30am and the latest at 8pm. The busiest start times are 8:30am, 11am, 12:30pm and 6:30pm, and Monday, Tuesday and Friday are the days when most people practice.
