Brewer Street Yoga

I started at BSY in January 2023, and have loved attending regularly. It’s worth buying the affordable monthly pass and going to as many classes to get the feel for it, and you are not tied in to subscriptions, meaning you can dip in and out as you feel like. The instructors are superb, the atmosphere fantastic, and if you don’t have a yoga mat fear not as the studio provides their own but you are welcome to store your own there. My favourites are the partner classes, hot yoga and the weekend warriors. The clientele are eclectic and diverse. BSY is an oasis in bustling Soho and is increasingly becoming a big part of my life. And my god, do you feel fantastic afterwards!

I've returned to Brewer St after a couple of years away and have loved my classes with Peter. They're great for beginning again. Chilled, relaxed naked yoga and a wonderful partner class which is especially good for extra stretching. All the teachers are superb though!

Great space to practice yoga in a nourishing and caring environment! Love the camaraderie amongst the practitioners. A big shout out to the über-generous teachers who cover a wide range of styles. There is something for everybody. Patrick

I've been going to weekly classes here for over a year now and absolutely love it - its one of the best studios I've attended. Generally I do a 1-2-1 class with Matthew but have been to a couple of group classes too.The studio is conveniently located and immaculately clean. The class schedule caters for all levels but for me the 1-2-1 sessions have been ideal to help me improve my skills and focus my learning. I've improved my strength, balance and agility.Matthew always pushes me to better myself (!) and is on hand for adjustments - its been hugely helpful for my physical and emotional wellbeing.Highly recommended !

I became fascinated by yoga when as a small child in the early 1970s I used to love watching Richard Hittlemans Yoga TV show. Richards book is one of my oldest possessions. I discovered Matthew Goughs wonderful yoga school over 3 years ago by using the dry cleaner next door and I feel that's destiny at its best.Matthew once shared with me that he considered being a Priest in his youth.Well that may have not happened but what Matthew has done is created a wonderful environment that celebrates the dance of life that is yoga.It can be a lonely life at times being a gay man, especially if you have not been so fortunate to find The One."Matthew has also created a place whereby gay men ( and friends ) can be included and have loving fellowship.I am not especially religious but I do think that's the work of the God/Universe."

Jumped into the yoga scene in March 2023, and Brewer Street Yoga (BSY) became my yoga playground. Went in with zero expectations, and man, it's been a riot ever since! Not just because the yoga's awesome, but the whole crew is just super cool, creating this vibe where you can't help but want to be part of the community.Monday nights, Conleth Kane's Bikram Class is the one I continously go to the most —it's like a workout party with a lot of Zen. Conleth breaks down the poses like a rockstar and aligns my poses with kindness, zero judgment. For a yoga rookie like me, that student-teacher bond is the secret sauce. It really helped me commit to yoga and now I can see changes in my physical and mental health :)

Brewer Street Yoga is the perfect studio if you are looking for intimate men only classes.All the yoga teachers are super friendly, thoughtful and committed to providing great instruction for all Yoga levels. Due to the small class sizes instructors are able to provide one on one instruction (with hands on if you are OK with that) which I really appreciate.I have enjoyed excellent instruction in the classes that I have taken and benefitted from the lovely community-like environment.

Excellent studio. Teachers with tremendous love and experience of yoga. Respectful groups who will make you feel welcomed and at ease. Excellent selection of classes for all levels and needs. I have been going for 4 years, and this is a unique place. Not your standard yoga classes mostly geared towards women. These classes have the edge: strength, flexibility, focus.

Friendly, professional, really well organised and always a great workout, whatever your level of ability. I first went to one of Matthew’s classes back when they were being run in Vauxhall and rediscovered them (online) during the first COVID lockdown. It’s great to see him grow his business and open up a studio in Brewer St, and take on more instructors too. Everyone is made to feel very welcome, which is exactly how it should be. A lot of thought has been put into the studio – down to things such as a professional camera/mic/tech setup for zoom classes (using skills from his previous career!) and sensible COVID measures for those attending in person. Looking forward to going on my first retreat later in the year!

Having been a yoga sceptic for many years, I started doing Conleth Kane’s weekly hot yoga session at Brewer Street in mid-July. And challenging though it is, I’m really enjoying it.I’m continuing to do 2-3 sessions a week at the gym too, and the yoga’s by far the tougher workout. Stretching and toning parts of me I didn’t know existed…The studio attracts a lovely bunch of guys, too, and provides a surprising oasis of calm right in the heart of Soho. A great discovery!
