Blithe Yoga

Blithe Yoga Blithe Yoga is a welcoming, community-led not-for-profit dedicated to making yoga and holistic wellbeing accessible to all.

Come as you are - there’s always space for you here. BLITHE YOGA was founded by Lexi Elven in 2016. 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

3rd of March marks the first full moon in our lunar new year and the close of our festivities. We end on the lantern festival where there are many types of practices, from lighting lanterns to honour the moon, to writing riddles on lanterns to find true love, to eating round moon like sweet 湯圓 Tong Yuen dumplings to symbolise togetherness. Here I’m practicing the T’ai Chi/Qi Gong movement of Scooping The Moon to honour and meditate on the day. Inhale as lift arms, exhale as you sweep down to scoop the moon and lift it above your head on the inhale.

With love 💜 on this special closing day.

A little update. It has been a hectic 10 days. The news locally and internationally has been horrendous (apart from Hannah Spencer winning Gordon and Denton yay!) but this is our ongoing reality at the moment. There will be a long long road ahead to make this our home. There isn’t a place in my life for cute aesthetic yoga videos or updates on exciting motion graphics work - we don’t have a single surface finished in this home. There is a bay window that needs structural work due to a big crack and asbestos in the ceilings. I constantly feel overwhelmed in a new city where I haven’t settled into just yet and it can feel isolating. But here she is. Our doer upper forever home with good bones.

Starting tonight!

Over the next 5 weeks on Thursday evenings at The Lighthouse & Gardens at 7:15-8:45pm Sabina Bhandari will be guiding you through longer 90 minute classes exploring Ta**ra Pranayama.

Step into five immersive sessions where the breath becomes a doorway rather than a duty. This Ta***ic Pranayama course explores the subtle landscape of your energetic body and teaches you how to work with it with intention and ease.

Each week you’ll be guided through foundational and more advanced practices from non-dual Ta**ra and Hatha yoga, including channel-balancing techniques, working with your bandha (locks) and rhythmic breath patterns that support presence, spaciousness and vitality. Sessions weave technique with embodied wisdom, helping the breath become an ally for clarity, attunement and deeper inner connection.

Perfect for both curious beginners and experienced practitioners seeking a more soulful, energetically aware approach.

With options to join the whole course or to drop in, we’re so excited for you to join us.

You can book this via our link in our bio or from our website.

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”.
