There isn’t a typical Phoenix member. You can come quietly, talk to nobody and simply take a class. Or stay for tea, get to know people and become more involved over time. Both count as belonging.

There is no right answer, and you can change your choice at any time.
You do not have to introduce yourself, join in socially or already know anyone. Coming to a class is enough; the rest can happen naturally, if and when you want it to.

Isabel
Founder member · Practising here since 2012
“Brain switch off. After more than 20 years, I still feel it every single time.”
Isabel has practised yoga for more than 20 years and has been part of the studio since 2012. She worked in human rights at Amnesty International and has met both the Dalai Lama and Daniel Craig — Daniel Craig twice. At Phoenix, she comes for the teachers and what she calls “brain switch off.”
Heather
Founder member · Practising here since 2014
“When Phoenix was born, I felt such a strong connection to this community. Thrilled to be here — an old-timer among so many wonderful new faces.”
Heather’s yoga journey started after breaking her ankle on a remote Greek island — surgery, physio, and a recommendation to try yoga to get her mobility back. She walked into Kylie’s fundamentals class in 2014 and never looked back. Yoga has since carried her through full-time work, two kids, GCSEs, A Levels, university, empty nest, and lockdown. Weekend yoga and post-class coffee with friends is now a permanent diary fixture.
Alex
Member & community photographer
“The studio became my happy place. When Phoenix rose from the ashes, I was determined to help my new community thrive.”
Alex came to Phoenix via the 21-day offer, thinking yoga would be a gentle easing back into exercise after a period of poor health. Her first class was Juliet’s Power Flow. She lay panting on the floor and laughed at herself — and was immediately hooked. A former BBC TV producer who left to become a photographer (@lightbylexi), she found in the studio the community she’d missed from the newsroom. When Phoenix rose from the ashes of The House of Yoga, she was determined to help it thrive, and has since photographed all of our teachers.
Jo B.
Member
“I come out of the room as a different person — broader in my mind and my body, breathing easier, seeing clearer.”
Jo has done yoga most of her adult life, but it has come and gone. In the past it was about pushing herself physically. Now it’s about losing herself in the moment and coming out of the room as a different person: broader in mind and body, breathing easier. She is currently filming the final series of BBC One’s Doctors — and her character, for the record, definitely also does yoga.
Johannes
Member
“Starting my day with yoga in the studio energises me and never fails to set me up for the day.”
Johannes started at his company gym, fell in love with the practice immediately, and pretty soon noticed that minor body aches he’d had for years quietly disappeared. Yoga became his refuge through City life and lockdown both. These days he starts every morning with a class in the studio. His favourite asana is child’s pose — for the calm and groundedness it brings. He recovers from it all with nature walks, his dog, and a day that never passes without chocolate.
Ali J.
Founder member
“I kept coming back because yoga taught me to actually be present. Live in the moment — that’s what it gave me.”
Ali found yoga during lockdown when she needed somewhere to put her restless energy. She came for the physical practice and stayed because it helped her focus. She likes energetic classes and practising with other people in the room.
It is not another long explanation of community. It is the ordinary moments that make a studio feel like somewhere you belong.
Tea that becomes a twenty-minute conversation.
Someone remembering your name.
Post-class coffee becoming a ritual.
Three weeks, unlimited classes, no commitment. The easiest way to find your people.
