The Centre

Hands down the BEST yoga class I’ve been too. Ever.
The Centre is located above Little Bird in Kingsland. It’s a small space but they don’t overbook the classes so there’s plenty of room to move. The big windows and high, lofty ceilings also let in plenty of natural light which helps.
What really made my class this morning though was the teacher, Jac, who was warm and welcoming but also didn’t seem to take herself tooooo seriously. As someone who likes yoga but isn’t (yet) a full time convert I found this refreshing and also quite comforting. Sometimes the super serious yogis are a bit intimidating for a part-​timer like me. She also was just a really good teacher — the class was challenging but moved at a good pace, giving her enough time to walk around the room offering tips on technique and making small adjustments. She also called everyone by their name when she was talking to them, which seems simple but it can’t be easy to remember everyone in the classes name.
Basically, the outcome of the class was that I wish that The Centre was closer. I’m just not sure that I can justify driving that far for yoga but if I was to turn into a full-​time yogi this is easily where i’d go.
Perhaps they’ll consider opening on the Shore…
