Belgravia has long been recognised as one of the most prestigious and attractive locations in London to support all aspects of a modern lifestyle. The atmosphere, businesses and residents all share an air of sophistication that has been the epitome of class in the capital for decades. In the 21st Century, this means having the ability to augment the elements of work and socialising with an appropriate ‘third place’ for people to find balance and take their self-care seriously.
The practice of yoga is the perfect way to achieve this for many of us. For over half a century, London has recognised the benefits and advantages this ancient art of wellness can bring. The influential practitioners and teachers such as B.K.S Iyengar and Swami Vishnudevananda were enthusiastically welcomed by the city’s population in the 1960s as they began to introduce their programs into western Europe, and it wasn’t long until workshops and dedicated yoga studios began to appear.
In 2025, there is a superb collection of places where one can regularly practice yoga in both a guided and self-guided way close to the Belgravia neighbourhood. Here is our guide to the very best amongst them.
Hotpod Yoga Belgravia
One of the defining features of yoga that contributes to its enduring popularity is how adaptable to innovations it is. Hotpod Yoga Belgravia is a fine example of modern resources and additions being matched with tried and tested practices to create an experience that is both new and familiar. Here, a selection of classes take place in their signature inflatable pods, heated to a consistent 37 degrees centigrade, using soft lighting, calming scents and a playlist of curated tranquil sounds.
Created by yoga teacher Nick Higgins and his business partner Max Henderson, their vision was to encourage an environment of total focus through an immersive design. The Hotpod Flow class is a great introduction to this methodology of balanced active and passive postures to suit all abilities. However, if you are comfortable with slightly more than a foundational level then the Dynamic Flow may present a more invigorating challenge for your practice. Hotpod Yoga Belgravia lives in the wonderful Eccleston Yards just five minutes from Victoria, so a post-session coffee or light bite is always an option too.
More Yoga
Just half a mile from Belgravia, within a ten-minute walk, you will find the Victoria Studio of More Yoga. This is a place that has been designed with a focus on simplicity of practice led by a collection of teachers that incorporate breath control, overall alignment and mindfulness for every program. Abby Rose and Meechai Tluphete concentrate on promoting elevated levels of relaxation to combat anxiety and Kasia Mizerska incorporates elements of holistic movement and Pilates to open up new paths.
They can also guide you through the traditional styles of Hatha and Ashtanga to build core understanding and capability before offering more modern and dynamic choices such as the fast-paced and highly-charged Rocket Yoga classes. With drop in classes and memberships delivering options for drop ins or more dedicated schedules, More Yoga is a great way to investigate which style and frequency of practice suits you and your lifestyle in the best way.
Yogamuni by Dipa
Dipa Trivedi is originally from Porbandar in India who has dedicated her working life to the combined approach of yoga, Pilates, breathwork and osteopathy. Since setting up her practice in Central and West London she has developed her innovative proprietary Osteo Yoga Flow that uses classic poses with alignment techniques for an invigorating and transformative experience.
The one to one sessions from Dipa are a great way to introduce a much more tailored approach to yoga practice that concentrates on where your body requires attention and development through poses. The Yogamuni specialism created for women’s health is a valuable way to address postnatal recovery and balance and has made this element a popular choice for many of the new mothers in West London over the last few years.
Dipa regularly operates out of studio locations in Hooke Street, Mayfair and Bissenden Place in SW1 that are both less than a mile from the heart of Belgravia and can be easily reached with a stroll of less than ten minutes.
Althea Massage Therapy & Yoga
Aristea Zougri has been developing her yoga instructional skills for over 20 years in locations all over the world. Her Althea Massage Therapy & Yoga classes operate out of some of London's most significant wellness centres that include The Light Centre on Eccleston Street in Belgravia. It was always her intention to create a practice that works on the idea that the body carries an innate power and intelligence to heal itself, and the movements and poses she creates are used to guide it towards that aim.
Her formal training in kinesiotherapy and the Sacred Geometry Vinyasa present an opportunity to experience classes and programs that are physically therapeutic and emotionally resonant. This can be applied for aspirations of fitness, functional movement and long-term recovery too.
With the time constraints of modern life occasionally making regular visits to yoga studios difficult, Aristea has developed a collection of online sessions too that allow much more flexibility around busy schedules. Private sessions for individuals and small groups can also be arranged in 60 or 90-minute sessions of dedicated practice and development.
Yoga provides a wonderful opportunity to explore the spaces where movement of the body and spirituality can truly connect. Finding the right guide to take you on that journey can be an incredibly personal choice, so it always helps to meet or speak with the instructor first to ensure that your energies align in the best way, before the real work can begin. The practitioners and studios that serve Belgravia are a great way to start that journey.
