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.

Boxing

A class designed to guide you through the fundamental principles of boxing.

4BEAT

4BEAT is a dynamic vinyasa yoga where the breath is synced to the slow, regular beat of the music: a moving meditation.

Mysore Ashtanga Yoga

Taught early in the morning, Mysore Ashtanga Yoga is the root method of many yoga styles taught today. Traditional, accessible, quiet, humble.

 

Pilates

Pilates has a strong focus around strengthening and toning the core. Each class emphasises precision and control, sculpting and stretching muscles and using your body weight.

Handstands

Learn the basics and not-so-basics of handstands.

Hot Yoga

A unique blend of yoga styles taught in a hot and humid room to give you a powerful body and even stronger mind.

 

Rocket Yoga

Rocket Yoga is an energetic style of yoga based on the Ashtanga Yoga method. Designed to “get you there faster,” these classes will build strength and stamina.

Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar Yoga was designed by the late B.K.S Iyengar in Pune, India. The style is renowned for its detail, precision and alignment. Expect to use props — lots and lots of props!

Kundalini

Kundalini Yoga contains a vast array of sequences known as Kriyas, which are powerful enough to transform the body and release emotions, enhance clarity and strengthen one’s presence.

Vinyasa Flow

Vinyasa Flow links posture and breath with special awareness. The style, pace and intensity may vary between teachers but the sense of felt presence is always the same.

 

 

Daoist Flow

Daoist Flow unites into one class the practices of yoga, Qigong and somatic movement. Perfect for beginners and experts alike, this practice will bring about freedom, compassion, clarity and joy.

Dharma Yoga

Dharma Yoga is a graceful yet challenging style developed by Sri Dharma Mittra. Not for beginners, Dharma Yoga strengthens the skeletal, the nervous, and the cardiovascular systems.

Yin Yoga

Yin is the ultimate complementary practice to any dynamic style of yoga.  Practised on or close to the ground, postures are held for several minutes at a time, and work on releasing connective tissues in the body.

 

 

 

 

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

A mixed-movement class inspired by the beautiful capoeira practice.

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.

A Complete Ecosystem of Movement

Mission offers one of the broadest and most integrated movement programmes in London.

 

Our classes include:

  • Vinyasa Yoga
  • Mysore Ashtanga
  • Rocket Yoga
  • Yin Yoga
  • Dharma Yoga
  • Daoist Flow
  • Pilates
  • Bambu Bodies (capoeira)
  • Strength and conditioning
  • Boxing
  • Handstands and inversion training
  • Breathwork and somatic practices

 

Each discipline develops different capacities – strength, mobility, coordination, awareness, resilience.

 

Together, they create a complete and balanced movement practice.

A Place to Progress

Mission is not simply a place to take classes. It is a place to develop.

 

Students begin at different entry points, but over time they build:

  • Physical strength
  • Structural integrity
  • Technical skill
  • Nervous system regulation
  • Confidence and autonomy in their practice

 

Many of our students go on to complete teacher trainings, deepen into specialised disciplines, or build lifelong movement practices.

 

Progress is not imposed. It is supported.

Strength and Yoga, Integrated

Unlike traditional yoga studios or commercial gyms, Mission integrates strength training alongside yoga practice.

 

This reflects a simple truth: strength and mobility are not separate. They support each other.

 

Our strength and calisthenics programmes help develop:

  • Joint stability
  • Muscle strength
  • Movement control
  • Injury resilience
  • Long-term physical capacity

 

This integration supports practitioners at every stage of life, including those navigating physiological changes such as perimenopause and menopause, where resistance training becomes essential for maintaining muscle and bone health.

Taught by Exceptional Teachers

Mission’s teaching faculty includes some of London’s most respected movement practitioners, alongside internationally recognised guest teachers.

 

Each teacher brings depth of experience, clarity of instruction, and a serious commitment to their discipline.

 

We host regular workshops and trainings with globally respected teachers, making Mission a destination for movement practice in Europe.

 

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.

 

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.

  • The space includes:
  • Large, light-filled studios
  • Full calisthenics and strength equipment
