How we came up with this idea 

Community Yoga Project was born in May 2023 out of a moment of rejection that turned into inspiration. It emerged from a simple yet powerful idea: to create a space where people in London could genuinely connect. In a bustling city where the need for community is immense but often unmet, we saw an opportunity to bring people together through the shared practice of yoga and holistic wellness.

 

After several yoga studios told him he couldn't teach due to his lack of experience, our founder, Matti, decided to take matters into his own hands. He gathered a small group of people to practice yoga in the park, driven by his passion for the practice and a concern that people in London often fail to truly connect, even after a yoga class.

 

What started as a small, fun initiative quickly resonated with people across the city. Within months, we grew into the largest yoga community in the UK, now with over 10,000 members who share not just a love for yoga, but a deep desire for connection and belonging. Our events go beyond physical practice; they are about fostering real relationships, building a supportive community, and creating a sense of togetherness that is often missing in urban life. 

 

Today, Community Yoga Project is the largest yoga community in the UK, bringing together hundreds of beautiful souls each week who practice yoga and seek genuine connection with others. Our events are infused with love, kindness, and respect, creating an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.
