Here's how to apply this to your yoga practice:

1. Warm-up effectively: A thorough warm-up prepares your body for the increased stress without exhausting you.

2. Prioritise skill-based work: Focus on challenging postures like Eka Pada Bakasana or handstands early in your practice when you have the most energy.

3. Incorporate strength-based flows: Add short, challenging flows that you can repeat. Rest between repetitions.

4. Continue with your regular practice: After strength work, proceed with your usual yoga routine.

5. End with mobility and flexibility: Address the areas stressed during the strength work to prevent injury.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively build strength in your yoga practice while maintaining flexibility and balance.

3 Reasons Yoga Will Transform Your Mornings ☀️👇🏼

Unroll your mat for a morning yoga session and discover an amazing way to boost your day. Here are 3 science-backed reasons why it's the perfect way to start your mornings:

Reason #1: Start your day with positive intentions.
We all know those mornings where everything goes wrong, it seems as though the universe is out to get you. But guess what? That negativity can spiral, turning a bad start into a bad day.

Including morning yoga into your daily routine can actually set you up for a successful day. Morning yoga calms the mental chatter and gives your brain much-needed space. It's your moment of peace before the day explodes. You're focusing on your body, breath, and movement, not the looming stress.

Reason #2: Support your body's digestive processes.
Our gut health goes way beyond just digestion - it impacts our overall well-being, including mental health! While we won't preach on your diet, keeping your digestive system happy is key.

Enter yoga! Unlike intense workouts, yoga's gentle twists and stretches (especially after water!) can keep things moving smoothly. This not only improves gut flora diversity, but also helps your body eliminate toxins. Plus, a primed digestive system means better nutrient absorption from your food.

Reason #3:
Feeling sluggish in the morning? It might be an oxygen thing! During sleep, breathing can become shallow, leaving you depleted.

Yoga to the rescue! By focusing on rhythmic, conscious breathing, yoga pumps your body with the oxygen it craves. This morning boost strengthens your breathing patterns for the whole day.

So, are you ready to add yoga to your morning routine? 🤩

Think yoga is just about impossible poses and pretty activewear? Nope! We're tackling common myths and showing you why yoga is for EVERYONE.

Myth #1: Yoga is only for flexible people.
Heard this one before? Yoga isn't about pretzel-ing yourself into knots. It's about YOU and YOUR body, regardless of flexibility. Yoga actually INCREASES flexibility in a safe, supportive environment.

Myth #2: Yoga is pretentious.
Nope! Yoga is for all walks of life. It doesn't care about your bank account or designer clothes. There are tons of affordable studios and online classes, and you can even do it at home in your PJs!

One of our core missions is to de-pretentious-ify (definitely a word) yoga and bring it to people who don’t think they’re ‘yoga people’.

Myth #3: Yoga isn’t a proper workout.
Think again! Yoga is a full-body workout that builds strength, improves flexibility, and can even help with weight loss. Don't be fooled by the slower pace - yoga can be super challenging (think Power Yoga!) and a great complement to other workouts.

Escape the overwhelming buzz of London. Between the tube delays, and the endless emails, it's easy to feel frazzled and forget to breathe.

Yoga isn't just fancy poses on a mat (although those can be pretty fun too!). It's a holistic practice designed to bring your mind, body, and spirit into harmony. Here's how taking a yoga break can help create a calmer, more centered you:

1. De-Stress and Recharge - Through mindful breathing and gentle stretches, yoga helps melt away tension, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

3. Boost Your Mood - Yoga gets your blood flowing and releases endorphins, those feel-good chemicals that leave you feeling energised and optimistic.

Hi! I’m Zoe - if we haven’t met yet, I took over this wonderful space in June.

I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your warm welcomes to the studio - it’s been so wonderful to meet you all over the last couple of months. If you’ve been to classes recently you’ll know this already, but I wanted to put it in writing: Leyton Yoga is officially changing its name to Fold Yoga.

The shift in seasons feels like the right time to go ahead with a change - everything's getting started again and I’m so excited by all the energy going around! With the name change comes a new website. It’s going live tomorrow morning but you can take a sneak peek now at foldyoga.co.uk and, even more excitingly, a new and MUCH easier to use booking system which will also be live by tomorrow evening. The switch should be straightforward - you’ll get an email asking you to log in again and change your password and your passes etc will already be there - but technology is technology and if you have any problems or questions at all, please do just drop us an email on [email protected]

If you haven’t been in the studio much recently you might not have noticed it’s had a little facelift too! We’d love to show you around; we are very proud of our wonderful teachers (who have stayed constant throughout the switch) and promise that while things may look a little different online, our ethos and principles remain the same as always.

Thank you so much for your patience as we move into this exciting new season! I can’t wait to see where it takes us 💛

Yoga is so magic and it’s so beautiful how it brings everyone together from different backgrounds. We’ll miss you all so much! 😘😘😘

❤️We also want to acknowledge all the teachers, without whom we wouldn’t be here. The team is stronger than ever and with their energy, care and commitment throughout the pandemic and beyond they have all been instrumental in moving the studio forward. 👏👏🫶🙌

🥰 It’s a mix of emotions as we said above. Moved and sad to leave but also happy to step into the unknown and welcome new space for creativity in our life. Leti will dive into her music, songwriting and yoga teaching and Quentin will focus on his career and corporate coaching. 🌷

🧚🏽‍♀️Zoe is a wonderful person and teacher and very experienced yoga-entrepreneur as she’s owned FOLD yoga studio in Stoke Newington for the last 7 years so you’re all in great hands.
