Lido Yoga with Em Thomson

Lido Yoga with Em Thomson is a yoga studio in London, with classes held beside the lido and looking out over the water. Reviewers describe a practice that focuses on strength, with each week built around a particular area, and Em is praised for clear explanations of poses and breathing. One review notes that Em trained as a physiotherapist, and says that knowledge shapes her teaching. Classes are described as suitable for all abilities, with variations for people who are injured or new to yoga. Candlelit evening classes and the lido at night are mentioned as highlights, and Ashtanga classes are part of the timetable. The room is described as warm and inclusive, with a wide mix of ages and experience.

  In just over a year, doing regular yoga sessions with Em, I've gone from intermittent back pain (due to long days slumped in front of a desk) to zero pain and a feeling of being newly flexible and nimble -- fully recommended!

  Em's classes are great! She's a wonderful teacher. I live just around the corner and feel like I lucked out with these being my local yoga classes. The setting is so peaceful looking out over the lido. I've been attending the classes regularly for over a year and definitely feel a lot stronger. Thank you!

  Always a great session with Em. I really enjoy how the weeks have particular areas of focus and she focuses on strength rather than achieving instagram poses. I always feel welcomed and comfortable. The lido by fairy light at night is beautiful!
