Social Yoga

02/11/2026

‘Community’ gets used a lot. Sometimes it means a mailing list. For us, it’s moments like this.
Eighteen months ago, we started with an empty space and no one through the door. Now we’re dancing in Hackney with people who feel like they’ve arrived from all over the galaxy, never mind London. Sometimes you have to pinch yourself.
You don’t start with a community. You make connections, keep showing up, and something grows.
Whether it’s a 7.30am flow, Sunday-night yin, Pilates or a sound journey — it’s the people who make it. And sometimes the practice looks like this: getting out of your head, losing yourself in the dance, sharing a room without needing to be anything other than yourself.
Yoga for modern people. This belongs here too.
Big love to Dirish & Afterglo, Sound Healing Bliss , Lurks , Layalek and our hosts at Bread & Butter Arch . Thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund for helping us reduce barriers and make these gatherings possible. And to everyone who’s supported us from day one, or just walked through the door: look what we’re making together. Watch out for more of these from our CIC and wow, all the Social Yoga teachers, too many to mention, though .yogaflow needs a mention for some lit dancing 🪩
धन्यवाद — thank you. 🤍. See full schedule for Hackney Central and Fish Island at www.socialyoga.co.uk.

Yesterday was World Mental Health Day. But we know that for many people, mental health is about much more than a day. 💗

So throughout October, we’re offering spaces to people who might otherwise find it difficult to join us. Perhaps cost is a barrier, you’ve never stepped inside a yoga studio, or coming to class hasn’t felt accessible for whatever reason. There’s a place for you here.

Tonight at Fish Island: Restorative Gong & Sound Bath with Alberto Colombo, 7–8pm. An hour to get comfortable, rest and settle into sound, together.

Everybody’s invited. Bring the village. Let’s look out for each other — we’ve got you.

DM Brian at Social Yoga - Fish Island & Hackney Central for a space at tonight’s session. Please repost or share this with someone who might benefit from coming along.

Our restorative programme also includes Annie’s Restorative Flow & Yoga Nidra, Sonic Yin with live sound with Julia, and Ecstatic Dance.

All these sessions and our programme of 30+ classes across Fish Island and Hackney Central are included in our £74.99 monthly unlimited membership, with monthly guest passes and no minimum contract.

Class packs are 10 for £70, never expire and can be shared with friends. Whatever your membership or pack, we’re all yogis. This is our studio. We will never fine you.

Yoga, your way. Supported by the National Lottery Community Fund 🩷

An absolutely magical afternoon celebrating St Matthews Church 280 year birthday. Bethnal Green and all of its communities is home and it means so much to Social Yoga and to our CIC, to be able to serve this community and through the national lottery community fund able to do outreach work in spaces like this. If you know of any families in the area who are interested in movement, sound or baby sensory classes, please ask them to send me a DM.

So grateful to have been welcomed by the Bishop of Stepney, to come and attend mass this morning and meet some of the congregation and friends of the church who are going to begin Yoga and Baby sensory play. Please do DM us if you are in the Bethnal Green area and would be interested in sessions taking place at St Matthew Church in Bethnal Green. Fish Island Social Hub CIC is able to facilitate these outreach sessions through the kind support of the National Lottery Community Fund.
If you were local to the area, please pop in and have a chat. There’s a bouncy castle, just saying…

Happy Harvest Moon weekend, yogis. 🌕

Full moons get blamed for restless sleep, strange dreams and altogether too much energy. The obvious remedy? Get out of the house and move your body with us.

We’ve got a brilliant programme across Fish Island and Hackney Central this weekend, with yoga, Pilates, mobility, Ballet X, inversions, Yin and sound.

Saturday at Fish Island starts with Stretch & Mobility at 8:45, followed by Stretch & Flow at 10:00 — two full-body sessions with Andy to loosen things up, build strength and get everything moving. Both have just a few spaces left.

Manon takes over with Yogalates at 11:15, combining yoga’s mobility and flow with the strength and control of Pilates, followed by Ballet X at 12:30 — a mix of ballet, barre, Pilates and yoga flow.

Then at 2:00pm, Andy’s long-awaited Launchpad to Rocket & Inversions workshop finally arrives. This two-hour, beginner-friendly session will explore the foundations of arm balances and inversions, helping you build confidence, control and a better understanding of how to get off the ground.

We cannot wait for this one — and there are only two spaces left. Get ’em while they’re hot.

Over at Hackney Central, Andy is also teaching Stretch & Mobility at 12:00 in the Bread & Butter arch.

Sunday at Fish Island begins with Vinyasa Flow with Brian at 9:00, followed by Pilates with Maha at 10:15.

Later, Annie slows everything down with Yin at 5:30pm, before Francesco and Rose close the weekend with 90 minutes of immersive sound at Gong Bath Sundays at 7:00pm.

The Gong Bath also has only a few spaces remaining, so get ’em while they’re hot.

Class packs are available across both studios:

5 classes for £40
10 classes for £70

Class packs can be used at Fish Island and Hackney Central, shared with friends and never expire.

Social Yoga Unlimited is also available for £74.99 per month, including unlimited classes across both studios, workshops and guest passes, with no minimum contract.
