. During the daytimes we are a lean, mean team so that does mean we have to lock the door while class is on.
Don’t pig out on a full English just before class if you can help it. If you eat a heavy meal less than two hours before class, you’ll feel terrible. Try to turn up with an empty stomach but not hungry. A difficult balance, we know, so here’s a handy tip from those in the know: a tactical banana or energy bar helps ward off the hunger pangs until after class.
At Sweat Studios we do yoga to live. We think it’s a damn good way to keep fit and healthy and hopefully live till we’re 100. On the flipside, we know some people live to do yoga. This is great and we’re happy they’ve found their passion. We’re also aware that for these people yoga can be a very serious thing. It is not our intention to insult or offend with our rather light hearted approach. Our goal is simply to get more people doing yoga (and living to 100), which must be a good thing!
Then, after four years, I found somewhere that seemed to do things differently. They spoke to me in English, knew my name, gave me pointers for improvement when I was doing things wrong and commended me when I made progress. There was no chanting, no preaching, no gongs and no showing off. I felt that I was getting something out of my yoga. It changed my body. I was leaner, fitter, healthier and more focused and finally I had the confidence to hand in my gym membership (by the way, I’ve never looked back). Unfortunately, though, that studio was in Singapore.
When I moved back to the UK, I wanted to bring that same friendly, approachable, no-nonsense experience to yoga here. So, I hung up my corporate suit, went off to yoga teacher training and here we are.
If you’re looking for a ‘traditional’ yoga venue (a dusty village hall, a dank basement with smelly carpets, that kind of thing) then sweat probably isn’t for you. We combine the high-end facilities of a gym with the welcome feel of a yoga studio. our space is bright, airy, clean and modern and we provide everything you’ll need.
Our classes are about you, not us. You won’t be left twiddling your thumbs while we crack out our latest moves. We know that being a great instructor is about leading a class, not showing you what we can do. So whatever your reason for turning up, whatever your ability, we’ll help you every step of the way.
