# Oval Yoga
Oval Yoga, based in London's SW9 postcode, is a specialist yoga studio founded by experienced instructor Alonso Seixas. The business offers Hatha Yoga classes rooted in both physical practice and philosophical tradition, designed to cultivate genuine wellbeing rather than superficial fitness trends.
The studio serves a deliberately inclusive clientele: absolute beginners, people with mobility impairments or disabilities, corporate groups seeking workplace wellness, and those managing anxiety or life stress. This accessibility focus is evident in their Chair Yoga programme and explicit welcome to mixed-ability groups. Testimonials highlight how their online recordings have provided genuine therapeutic support during uncertain times.
What distinguishes Oval Yoga is Alonso's methodical approach emphasising the "subtle aspects" of yoga practice alongside physical postures. Rather than high-intensity flows, they specialise in slow-flow Hatha, prioritising proper instruction and individual adjustment. The business maintains professional credentials through British Wheel of Yoga teaching accreditation and Sport England recognition.
Operating from Reay Primary in the Oval area, they combine in-person community classes with online accessibility, extending reach beyond their physical location. The pricing model—deliberately affordable at £13-15 per class—removes financial barriers to participation. Their refusal to process payments purely online suggests intentional, personal engagement with students rather than transactional scaling.
This is yoga positioned as genuine self-refinement and cultivation for real people with real bodies and real constraints.
