Studio Shout Out: Yoga House London

Our yoga teachers and studios were adaptable and awesome and have found new ways to connect and further teach and support their students. By locking, technical problems and learning to make adjustments practically via the zoom. This month we will throw a light on you! In January we will offer studios here in the blog and chat with teachers to celebrate those who kept us on the ground last year. Meet the yoga teacher and studio owner Kasia Blackwell from Yoga House London.

Tell us a little about why you have set up your studio?

I have been teaching yoga since 2016 and after the first year of renting rooms in my region (SE London) and the reporting in some studios I started to examine the idea of ​​a studio. It felt like a natural progress and something that our community needed. In February 2018 I opened my first studio, the Yoga House London in Lee, SE12, and the second in Catford, SE6, in April 2019.

What was your vision and did this come to light?

My vision was to create a room in which a yogi community can grow and experience the amazing advantages of yoga. To organize workshops, sound baths and retreats. To bring people together and to enjoy our studio full of nature (we have a lot of plants!). To create a beautiful room in which people can relax immediately and feel great as soon as they occur.

How is the lessons in the studio?

We have many different class styles in the studio. From beginners to the restorative yin to more dynamic rivers. We all want to welcome and have a wide range for all needs. Our online offer is also very diverse.

How did the studio help your community?

Create our community and let people experience what yoga can really do for them. It is not about changing your appearance, but changing your self -image and doing it with a friendlier view. People email us to share their stories - it's the most amazing. The operation of two studios requires a lot of work, but when we receive emails from people who say that this has changed their lives, it is really worth it. If you come to Yoga House, you can spend a little time away from the constant thinking of the mind. Treating yourself with this break can actually make the difference.

How is your personal yoga trip and practice and how has she developed over the years?

My personal practice has changed a lot and has almost closed for me.

When I started practicing yoga in 2014, it was only for my mental well -being. I had mental problems after my twin babies and yoga brought me back to a fuller life - it literally saved me. After that, my regular practice showed changes in my physical body, I felt so much stronger and healthier. And now again - especially this year it felt like massive support for my mental health. Practice changes forever like your life, but it can give you everything you need if you stay with it and stay open -minded.

What is a vision for the future, even though things are still in the air?

The first on the list would be to reopen our studios to offer yoga, workshops, sound baths and retreats personally.

Growth of the community and our offer - in the studio and online.

Further retreats in beautiful and sustainable places would also be surprising.
