London
Stretch Description
we opened our doors in april 2012.
where is it?
we are next to broadway market, with hackney central or bethnal green tube just a stones throw away & columbia road with Old Street, Haggerston, Hoxton & shoreditch all at your finger tips
stretch started its journey within the colourful and dynamic community of netil house and had 8 wonderful months there, we are now situation next to the vibrant Broadway Market at 6B Ada Street, E8 4QU and opened our second studio on Columbia Road, in June 2014.
what's happening?
we are always looking to move forward with our journey, but our intention is to bring to the community high-quality, affordable and inclusive yoga. So keep coming back to this page as we will be providing not just yoga classes, but great workshops, holidays, meditation sessions, products and a whole lot more
at stretch we embrace the eclectic and varied scope of yoga, and whilst we will be offering you some soothing restorative classes, many of our classes will be upbeat and dynamic - so prepared to get moving! stretch is yoga for all, from the experienced practitioner to the absolute beginner, so if you're not sure which classes will suit you the most give us a call, drop us an email or pop in for a chat
what do I need?
not much. . . we provide the mats and it's a shoes-off affair as always
we recommend you come to class well hydrated, with loose and comfortable clothing, try not to eat up to 2 hours before, and be sure to tell your teacher about any medical conditions that may effect your practise
how much?

Why is most of the timetable 'dynamic yoga'?
By dynamic we simply mean movement, energy and strength!
Dozens of different classes and definitions, whilst helpful in terms of knowing exactly what you're getting, sometimes restrict yoga teachers and students of yoga. Yoga teachers have often taken multiple training from different yoga traditions and also have their own worthwhile twists and modifications to add. It is our belief that the eclectic nature of yoga (the current dominant yoga paradigm being loosely arrived at via a ramshackle mix of vedic scripture, tantric techniques and old fashioned colonial /british gymnastics) should be carried on. . . . and not hermetically sealed by the dictates of the modern western yoga marketing. . . blah blah!
In other words, give great teachers free reign to teach without boundaries and the results can be amazing! Remove the constraints and allow the teacher to teach the students present, and not the syllabus.
So what we want you to know, is that unless otherwise stated, yoga at stretch will be energetic and all about the movement!
What we don't want you to know is exactly what to expect, because where's the fun in that!
Baby - Mama (and Daddy) Yoga
Yoga for parents where you bring your lilŌĆÖ one along to play, snooze, or run around wild while you find some inner calm though yoga
Toddler - Mama (and Daddy) Yoga
Yoga for parents where you bring your slightly bigger lilŌĆÖ one along to play, snooze, or run around wild while you find some inner calm though yoga.
Pregnancy Yoga
Expecting a little one? Yoga can not only make the pregnancy itself easier on the body and the mother's sense of well-being, but it can also make child labor easier. Let our fully qualified teacher guide you safely in your pre-natal practise.
Core Yoga
A dynamic yoga class with strong core work. Including pilates-inspired awareness to use the body as a whole, finding release from stress patterns and strength where you need it. Incredibly helpful for creating physical stability while increasing physical and mental mindfulness. The class finished with a deep relaxation.
When can we start?!
now! please check the website for the timetable

we look forward to seeing you on the mat!

Most guys feel that yoga isn't accessible since it's all about stretching and being flexible. This workshop will be a carefully crafted introduction to yoga, designed to show how yoga can help you move your body, address pain, make you feel good, and improve your strength--often better than just hitting the gym!
If you've never tried a yoga class, or have a mate who might be interested but afraid of entering a full-fledged class, sign them up to this workshop!
This workshop focuses on an introduction to the connective tissue in the body, namely the fascia, its function in the body, and how to perform self-myofascial release. Following the self-massage, I'll run through a gentle yin class, so you can get extra melty. Imagine 2 hours of massage and release, your body will love you!

What actually is yoga, anyway? YouŌĆÖve heard it makes people feel great, or maybe it makes you feel great - but why is that? And thereŌĆÖs so many different types, itŌĆÖs confusing! Most of the classes involve movement, so whatŌĆÖs the difference between a yoga class and an exercise class? Maybe youŌĆÖve tried a few classes, or maybe youŌĆÖre thinking about trying it, but you have the idea that there is something in this yoga thing.
This is the perfect opportunity to explore your cu...riosity. WeŌĆÖll talk about what yoga is in simple terms, how it fits into the modern context and how it can - if you want it to - become more than just a way to stretch and strengthen your body. You will have the chance to ask questions and work through things that have been niggling at you - whether thatŌĆÖs something youŌĆÖve heard that doesnŌĆÖt make sense to you or something that doesnŌĆÖt feel right in your body.
Learning how to use props (blocks, bricks, straps) effectively and spending more time getting into and out of basic standing postures will help you feel more confident to join dynamic group classes in the future. By staying in a few postures a little longer than you might in a dynamic group class, weŌĆÖll learn talk about how to engage with the feelings/ sensations that come up, gradually tuning in on a subtler and subtler level.
WeŌĆÖll also work on building the confidence to approach or improve trickier postures like arm balances and inversions, and importantly, knowing when to stop as well as unwinding with some juicy restorative postures for that all important relaxation.

yoga for fella's was a great workshop! hoping to make it up to london for more in the future...
definitely recommended! great studio, lovely owners & teachers!
One of the best yoga studios I've been to.
My second home ¤śŹFantastic teachers & good vibes
I'm coming to the end of my 10 day pass and i've really enjoyed it. Love the house stretch Dynamic style and the individual teachers. Highlight: Oliver playing Drake during Savasana. Bold move :)
I started doing yoga with stretch a year ago- I love the classes, ALL the teachers are so knowledgable and welcoming and have differing styles so there is definitely something for everyone. It is such a welcoming lovely friendly studio... I can't recommend enough, yoga is a fully integrated part of my life now- thank you stretch for being so great!
I just did the 10 day intro offer and without sounding too overly excited this has changed my life! I lived with chronic pain up until a month before I did this and tried getting into yoga so many times before but it never feeling right. I love the space and mix of teachers. My body and mind is starting to open up in such new ways. Hooray! And thanks. I will be back soon.
Great studio with amazing classes from beginners to experienced... i wish IŌĆÖd come before
Excellent, highly efficient and organised yoga studio, in my opinion , engenders community and friends of the yoga world and at it's heart , all 8 limbs of yoga . much respect to sophie , carl and all the collective
Consistently challenging, inspiring, and empowering. Very lucky to have this studio/community in London!
