While yoga has really taken off in London over the last few years, firmly rooted itself into everyday modern culture and even influencing our fitness wardrobes, its development dates back some 5,000 years ago in Northern India.

So whether you’re a yogi pro looking for somewhere new to practice, or a novice interested in trying yoga for the first time, MoveGB is pulling all the stops out for National Yoga Month, reaching out to its 1,281 yoga partners to generate a yoga schedule for Londoners that will keep you inspired and feeling great throughout the month.

Monday 3 September
Sunrise yoga in the clouds at Yogasphere
Start the day with an energising yoga practice a view on Level 24 of the Shard. An hour of early morning mind, body and soul nurturing to leave you feeling supple, inspired, and ready for the day ahead.

Friday 8 September
Aerial yoga at Flying Fantastic
 Counteract gravity and clear your mind with an aerial yoga class, which allows you to move more freely with less effort. While suspended in the air, aerial yoga works on core strength while reducing tension in the bones and muscles, which in turn increases flexibility in the muscles and allows you to deepen your practice.
