Central Yoga School

I've attended the Intro Course during the weekend and the classes were great. James is a fantastic teacher, he has an amazing knowledge of Yoga and is very passionate to share it. I like the discipline and attention to detail and how clear he gave instructions. I like this course so much that I booked already six more classes. I totally recommend it!.

Great small yoga school. About 10 students per class so the teacher remember everyone name and be able to pay attention and correct everyone. I had 90 mins class, slow pace but precise and great to have correct position. Good price per lesson as well. Highly recommended.

I’ve been a regular student of Central Yoga for over 2 years now. James is unmatched in his care, knowledge and commitment to the practise. It is through Central Yoga that I have been introduced and am able to cultivate discipline, care and self-awareness. It is completely transparent, there are no short cuts - you show up, you do the work and see where it takes you.The monthly intro courses are great because he guides you through the foundational asanas over two days. As a beginner, the intimidation factor is lessened because you’re given step by step instruction of what you need to do in that moment and then you move to the next instruction. We use props to build towards the pose (flexibility isn’t a prerequisite). So starting from scratch is exciting because James understands where you and your body are at and works with you.If you are looking for an honest place, to build something real and meaningful - practise at Central Yoga School.

It's a great yoga school, I am attending it for 6-7 years now. Teachers are great - very caring, professional and friendly. If you have any medical condition you will be given alternative poses so you don't need to skip classes. Atmosphere is very inclusive - both teachers and students are very friendly, it feels like family.

The teachers are of a high calibre and they teach with very precise instructions that are easy to follow. Be prepared for lots of props that may take a little to get used to, but once you do it is well worth it!

I came to CYS after several years at a different yoga school because a young friend who was new to yoga asked to come along with him for moral support. Three years later I am still here. James’ focused and rigorous approach to teaching resonated with me. His many years of dedicated and disciplined practice are clearly evident in his teaching. He has shown us many adjustments and refinements, some very subtle, which has improved my practice quite considerably. Here’s just one example: His detailed instructions have enabled me (at age 69!) to get up into a handstand properly rather than in my previous ‘hit-or-miss-crash-or-crash-through’ approach, which usually just ended up in frustration. He has also encouraged me to undertake teacher training. With the right teacher one is never too old or too stiff for yoga, and it is never too late for new adventures and new explorations!

Whether you’re new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, I highly recommend Central Yoga School as a space for developing your practice. I’ve attended regularly for the past three years and can attest to the knowledge, care and attentiveness of all of the teachers - all of whom are equally wonderful people. James is a highly knowledgeable, dedicated, honest and engaging leader. I absolutely recommend trying out Central Yoga School for yourself - attending classes here has, and continues to be, a truly inspiring experience for me.

Classes have positive impact on us, very well structured to take us deeper into yoga practice . It's is my first time with iyengar yoga and I like to be corrected with my poses - this support is given for online classes too. I am addicted to this yoga style now as emphasis is laid on both deeper understanding of the pose and on how to slowly achieve perfection. With the flexibility offered in terms of attending online classes, timing and duration - it's perfect for anyone living far and yet looking for offline experience. Thank you Lorenzo master.

Small group yoga classes that are different from your gym group classes. All props (incl mats) provided. The teachers are attentive and dedicated to yoga and their students.

I have been attending Central Yoga School steadily for a couple of years now. If you have been thinking about starting or renewing your yoga journey this is the school for you. Classes can be strenuous at first but when you start to improve it is amazing. This school is all about the philosophy and your yoga practice. All the teachers are highly skilled and pay attention to each student with care. Add affordable prices and an easy walk to Central station and you have it made.
