Thought of the Month: October 2014

This Summer I was fortunate enough to take time out from teaching at YogaVenue to immerse myself in study with some amazing teachers at the Laughing Lotus Yoga School in New York City. A chance to refresh, re-energise and reconnect right at the source of some amazing Yoga. Read More

Some people have asked us whether it is sensible to be practicing in a Hot Yoga class while the temperature outside is also hot (or in our case warm).

Yogalates at YogaVenue. It has been interesting to hear how positively the Yogi’s doing our Yogalates classes have found it, and how it effects their regular Yoga classes.
