Lexi has been practicing yoga since 2003 after coming to the UK from Hong Kong and needing a discipline to compliment her martial arts and dance foundation. Through this love of mental focus as well as the joy of movement her classes combine strong asanas (postures) with an energetic and playful
spirit. As a musician with a keen interest in pranayama and philosophy, she focuses on how the mind and body can benefit from sound-work and meditation. Blithe Yoga is currently based in Forest Gate, London

Testing a new handled bowl. Enjoying the extra long resonances…she’ll be making an appearance tomorrow when I offer a soundbath to my son’s teachers at their school as part of an inset day relaxation offering (their teachers are so amazing and they deserve it!) and also this December with me and .kiran at our Resonance event on the 5th of December - tickets are on sale now and it will be such a beautiful event.

Apologies for the sound…A very quick update! And a glimpse of our new home in Stratford at The Lighthouse and Gardens after our studio closure. We’re going to pivot to a yoga programme of longer series to deep dive into and sprinklings of lovely and fun events here and there where I will make some appearances. In the meantime INCUBATION whilst we concoct all of that.

On Wednesdays iv taught babies baby massage. I’ve been teaching baby massage for over 7 years! Used to hire rooms to teach this before the studio was open. I taught and sung over zoom during the pandemic with my own baby as a teachers assistant. Time has flown by. I taught my last course in the studio and now Wednesdays feel strange without me singing to babies - but chapters must close and what a lovely dopamine filled one this was. 💜

Fully booked beautiful sound session last night.

Mayra and I are slightly changing our sound offerings here at Blithe. We’re now going to run them alternately once a month, and including complimentary modalities like breath work, group chanting and somatic movements to ease into the sound.

Last night, in the first sound bath for year of the snake, we did some breath and somatic movement to connect with the heart; and contemplated the difficulty in the snakes shedding of the skin and what that might mean or feel for us. Then chanted the mantra connected to the Heart Sutra with the harmonium.

It’s easy to feel powerless when faced with challenges like inequality, climate change, or political turmoil. But yoga offers a radical truth: transformation starts within.

It just takes one class to change everything. This January, practice with me and other amazing creators on Yoke Yoga for the:

Revolution: Reclaim Your Self, Power, and Purpose Challenge

To pause, breathe, and ignite the change you want to see in the world.

The challenge is to take 1 class with us. Just one class can shift everything. Start now. Of course, you can do more if it feels good. But start with JUST ONE of these On Demand or Live classes just for you
Feel supported.

Be Part of the Solution.

This isn’t just a yoga challenge—it’s a call to rise, reset, and reclaim the strength the world needs from you.

Our Story

"Blithe: showing high spirits or lightheartedness; joyfulness, playfulness and exhilaration."

Blithe Yoga was founded in 2016 by Lexi Elven. We moved into our studio location in the autumn of 2018.

The small team who teach our classes are extremely passionate about bringing all themes of yoga to their students. Each with a differing style but all with the highest quality. Delivering serious yoga with a playful spirit.

Our yoga & meditation ranges from stronger dynamic styles to gentler slower paces; for those that are pregnant; to parents and babies. We also provide a Community Yoga class every Wednesday evening at 6:15pm, this is a non-profit class where all proceeds go towards local homeless charity “Lola’s Homeless”.
