Movement at Mission

London’s home for serious movement practice

Movement lives here.

Mission is a movement institution in the heart of Shoreditch, where yoga, strength training, calisthenics, martial arts, and somatic disciplines exist under one roof.

Some of these systems are centuries old. Others are modern. All are taught with intelligence, precision, and purpose.

This is a place to build strength. To develop skill. To deepen practice.

Whether you are stepping into movement for the first time or refining a lifelong discipline, Mission provides the environment to train seriously and sustainably.

Yoga Inversions

Ancient yoga texts say turning upside down stops bindu (the essence of life) from leaking out your head. We aren’t saying this class will stop you ageing (but we aren’t saying it won’t!)

Yoga

Yoga is a catch-all term used when many different styles of yoga collide into one class. But there are common threads — breath, awareness and focus.

Bambu Bodies

All Classes

Levels

Foundation

A great place for beginners to start their practice. These classes are also for the skilful student who understands advanced postures cannot happen without a rock solid understanding of the simple ones. In every Foundation class, students will learn the fundamentals of breathing better, moving better and feeling better.

 

All Levels

A party mix of people. Every student is welcome in these classes — the beginner, the intermediate practitioner and the advanced student. Our teachers give lots of options, empowering every student to make the right choices for their body and mind on any given day.

 

Experienced

Life is not for the faint of heart. And neither are these classes. A certain level of knowledge and ability is expected in these classes as students will be taught advanced practices be they breathing ones, moving ones or still ones.

Trainings

Mission-accredited trainings are the gold standard when it comes to yoga and movement. Perhaps you want to learn more for your own personal benefit. Or, you are thinking of becoming a teacher. Maybe you’re a teacher already and are ready to start layering on additional knowledge. At Mission, we know the learning never stops and so offer trainings with the world’s best, offering trainings in Vinyasa, Restorative, Anatomy & Physiology, Yoga for Cancer, Rocket, Inversions, Yin and more.

Workshops

A Mission workshop taught by Mission teachers gives students a chance to unpack a particular skill, technique or posture, and linger a bit longer than you would in a regular class. A workshop is a chance to explore and to ask questions. They are generally taught on a Friday night or at the weekend, giving students more time to sink in, reflect and learn.
