Well hello!
Hi and a BIG WELCOME to Surya. Thanks for clicking through and finding us.
Our yoga philosophy is simple. We provide real yoga to fit who you are and what you need from your practice. Whether you’re a beginner or a devoted yogi, our classes will help you to restore balance to your mind, body and spirit.
We add heat to our some classes for its health and healing qualities to provide a yoga experience like no other.
Infrared heat creates a sun like warmth, gradually heating your muscles and joints which helps you move through poses with more ease. Research shows this kind of warmth can reduce stiffness and improve joint mobility. Plus the increased blood flow is great for your heart and muscles. It means better oxygen delivery and a quicker recovery after physical exertion. Coupled with the proven long-term effects of vigorous exercise to support mental health, you’ll build strength, enhance your energy levels, and get a mood boost to carry through your day.
If heat isn’t your thing, we have non heated classes to increase your strength, create skilful movement, build mindfulness and enhance breathing.
Our intro offer is 21 days unlimited classes for £50, so you can try out all of our classes and see what feels good to you.
Warning: It gets very addictive!!
The benefits
Physically your balance improves, overall strength increases and the body becomes more mobile and flexible. You breathe much better, sleep better and have more energy.
Mentally you become more focused and the challenge of the heat make you more resilient and deepens your power of concentration - so important in todays world of constant stimulation and hits of dopamine.
Yoga gets us to slow down, find stillness and go inside, encouraging us to ask deeper questions about who we are and what life we are here to live.
Yoga has been studied for its benefits for mental health and Bikram yoga in particular has been shown in studies to help with depression
The heat
The heat softens the muscles and opens the joints, making the body more malleable and able to move in and out of postures more easily.
Importantly it increases blood flow to help with injuries and getting oxygen to your body’s cells and tissues where its needed. In addition it makes you sweat creating a great detox for your body and keeps the lymphatic system moving.
It creates health and healing due to a phenomenon called hormesis or the idea that short, intermittent bursts of certain stressors on the body such as extreme heat or cold, can actually trigger a cascade of cellular processes that enhance overall health, increase immunity, slow aging, and make you more resilient to future stress (both physical and mental).
Free Workshops
One of the best ways to grow and understand the nuts and bolts of your practice is by doing a workshop. In workshops the practice gets broken down into smaller pieces. We can spend focused time going into more specific elements with greater depth and detail, and students can ask questions, which there isn’t time for during a regular class.
The heat is also off ;)
As a way of giving back to our community we have introduced regular free monthly workshops to support your yoga journey and grow your practice.
These workshops are free of charge and available to anyone currently practicing at the studio and has an active pass or subscription.
