At Jiva Yoga we take a modern approach to the ancient science of yoga, cherry picking techniques from a variety of different traditions and fusing them into a playful, dynamic class. Suitable for total beginners to advanced ashtangis, expect to follow a sequence of poses – set to a killer soundtrack – designed to tone you up, stretch you out and calm you down, followed by a much needed relaxation.
We believe that laughter is the best medicine. That prevention is better than cure. In the link between physical and mental health. That it’s never too late to learn, and that – whether on or off the mat – no effort ever goes wasted.

Founded by yoga instructor and theatre/movement director Zoe Sharp, Jiva Yoga brings its signature dynamic and playful yoga classes to venues across London.
Having sustained a neck injury surfing after years of kickboxing, static trapeze and pilates, Zoe fell into yoga as a way to put herself back together. Even after she could look back, she didn’t, and completed her 200hr teaching training in December 2012.
She brings a sense of experimentation, play and lightness to each class, aiming to teach athletic and dynamic flows to open the body and bring it into balance with the mind. Structured around the Ashtanga Vinyasa sun salutes, sessions at a Jiva Yoga class will leave you worked hard, stretched out, and calmed down.
