Our Hackney studio
Our Hackney studio is a 50-square-metre space inside Hackney Downs Studios, a creative hub of independent practitioners, makers and artists. We're tucked away from the courtyard, so sessions stay quiet and private.
The room is set up for both 1-to-1 therapy and group classes, with two professional treatment tables, a full set of pilates and yoga props, and dimmable lighting. We also have rooftop access, which we use for breathwork sessions and warm-weather classes.
It's the kind of space that sounds simple on paper but feels different the moment you walk in, high ceilings, natural light, and the calm of a building full of people who care about what they do.
