About Pause Studio
Pause | London is a small, friendly studio located in the heart of Leytonstone. We offer a range of classes and therapies to help you find your balance and nurture your wellbeing. Our studio is a sanctuary where you can escape the demands of everyday life and focus on your physical and mental health. At Pause, we believe that yoga and pilates are for everyone. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a complete beginner, our dedicated teachers create a relaxed and inclusive environment where you can explore these ancient practices. With smaller class sizes, you'll receive personalized attention and guidance. In addition to yoga and pilates, we also offer reformer pilates and barre classes. And if you're in need of some therapeutic care, our studio houses a dedicated treatment room with skilled therapists, including physiotherapists, osteopaths, and massage therapists. We have recently moved to a larger premises at 478 High Road Leyton, E10 6QA, allowing us to expand our offerings and better serve our community. Stay updated on our latest news and events by signing up for our newsletter. Join us at Pause | London and discover the transformative power of movement and mindfulness.
