Your first visit

Come ten minutes early and tell us it is your first visit. We’ll show you where everything is and answer any questions. Mats and props are here, both rooms are warm and light, and nobody expects you to arrive knowing what to do.

What this means for you.

Your first job is simply to arrive. We’ll show you the rooms, help you find what you need and make sure you know where your class is.

Rated 4.9 ★ on ClassPass — 4.9 ★ earned from 400+ reviews. We think the room does most of the work.

A studio built by its community

Every detail of this space was chosen by the people who use it.

The mats, the bolsters, the lighting, the playlist, the particular shade of paint on the walls — all debated, tried, and improved by the people who practise here. This is what it looks like when a studio belongs to its members.

We’re not precious about it. Feedback is always welcome. Things change. That’s the point — read how we got here →

What you’ll find

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

Heart and Soul — two light-filled rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows
Changing rooms with showers (bring your own towel)
Secure storage for valuables
Mats and props provided — just bring yourself
Online classes via Zoom for those who can’t make it in person

Yoga props and natural light inside Phoenix Yoga

Two rooms

Heart and Soul.

Both rooms have floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows. Neither has a logo, a slogan, or the words “Phoenix Yoga” anywhere inside. We noticed this recently. We thought about it — and decided it was exactly right.

Heart

Upstairs, full-height windows look onto the gardens. In summer the trees form a green canopy; in winter the bare branches let in the low northern light. Skylights bring in more daylight from above.

Soul

Downstairs. Rebuilt in 2025. Smaller and more considered, Soul holds ten people maximum and runs yoga and Mat Pilates classes.

The names were chosen by the community. We put out a call, gathered nominations, and held a vote. Heart and Soul won. Other contenders included Sky & Earth, Rise & Shine, Downward & Upward — and, in a contribution we have enormous respect for, Tottenham and Hotspur.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about the studio.

Is there parking nearby? +

There's on-street parking on several roads near the studio, typically free after 6:30pm and on weekends. East Putney tube station is a five-minute walk (District line), and there are bus stops directly on Upper Richmond Road. Most of our members arrive on foot, by bike, or by public transport.

Do you have changing rooms and showers? +

Yes. We have separate changing areas for men and women, with showers, lockers, and hairdryers. Bring your own towel and any products you need. The changing rooms are open from 30 minutes before the first class of the day.

How early should I arrive? +

For your first visit, aim for 10–15 minutes early so you can get shown around and settled without rushing. For regular classes, 5 minutes is plenty. The studio door opens 15 minutes before each class.

Is the studio accessible? +

The studio has step-free, wheelchair access from the street. Our toilets are not wheelchair accessible, but wheelchair-accessible facilities are available with our sauna neighbours next door. Please contact us before your first visit so we can make the arrangements straightforward.

Can I leave my belongings during class? +

Yes. We have cubby holes inside the studio for shoes, bags, and phones. For valuables, use the lockers in the changing rooms. Phoenix has never had a security issue, but we'd rather you practise without worrying about your things.
