Krishna Yoga

Krishna Yoga is a vibrant and welcoming yoga studio located in Kingston upon Thames, offering a wide variety of yoga styles and classes suitable for all levels. With a focus on creating a nurturing and inclusive environment, Krishna Yoga strives to make yoga accessible to everyone.

The studio offers a range of dynamic and restorative classes, each with a unique weekly theme. One popular class is Wheel Yoga, which allows participants to explore more challenging postures like back bends and inversions. Dund (stick) Yoga is also offered to improve postures and balance, making use of props like the wall for support and proper alignment. For those seeking a more gentle practise, Restorative Yoga is available and is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with stress and anxiety.

This class incorporates various props such as bolsters, blocks, and straps to facilitate deeper holds and concludes with guided relaxation and meditation.

Krishna Yoga also offers Chakra Yoga, which focuses on dynamic practise and further deepening back bends. Additionally, there are Beginner Yoga classes for those looking to build strength, flexibility, and core stability. Non-competitiveness is encouraged within all classes to create a supportive and inclusive environment. Gentle Hatha Yoga is another option for individuals seeking a relaxing way to improve strength and flexibility, while Iyengar Yoga emphasises precision and body alignment.

For individuals looking to strengthen their core muscles and improve balance, Dynamic Vinyasa Yoga is offered, where movements are synchronised with breath to maintain a calm and focused mind.

In addition to regular classes, Krishna Yoga provides Yoga Alliance-certified teacher training courses. As an established and registered Yoga Alliance Professionals school, Krishna Yoga has been running these courses since 2013, ensuring the highest standard in training and teaching. The courses are conducted in small, friendly groups with no more than eight trainee teachers to provide personalised attention and support. Upon completion of the course, students have the opportunity to teach at Krishna Yoga Studio, further enhancing their teaching skills and experience.

For existing yoga teachers looking to deepen their knowledge and expertise, Krishna Yoga offers a Yoga Alliance International accredited Restorative Yoga teacher training course. This course spans over two weekends, allowing participants to learn restorative postures designed to maximise comfort. The small group size ensures individualised attention, and ongoing support is provided during and after the course. Participants will also learn how to teach Yoga Nidra, a practise known for its relaxation benefits.

An early booking discount is available, and interest in Restorative Yoga has increased post-pandemic as more individuals seek stress and anxiety relief.

Krishna Yoga offers various pricing options for classes, including a pay-per-class option, class passes for multiple sessions, and monthly unlimited options. One-on-one sessions are also available for a more personalised practise, including meditation and Pranayama (breathing exercises). The studio also encourages community and connexion by offering a special “bring a friend” rate.

With its commitment to inclusivity, high standards, and comprehensive offerings, Krishna Yoga is a sought-after yoga studio in Kingston upon Thames. By providing a wide range of classes and teacher training opportunities, Krishna Yoga aims to cater to the diverse needs and interests of its community, promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being through the practise of yoga.
