wellness beyond postures

who we are

the collective

&asanas is the space that has been a long time coming for the london community. as a wellness hub, built on a foundation of teachers, students, and passionate supporters, the collective inspires people to go beyond just the 3rd limb of asanas—to live into all 8 limbs of yoga.

with three studios and two treatment rooms under one roof, we offer both hot and non-heated yoga in addition to meditation classes, sound baths, breathwork practices, restorative practices, tea ceremonies, workshops, reiki treatments, and massage therapy.

our zen lounge is always fully stocked with complimentary tea, and provides the perfect opportunity to sip and decompress before heading back out into the world. our thoughtful experience and zen atmosphere combines healthy living, community, and the overall yogic lifestyle.

our founder

lena popa

the true origin of &asanas is rooted in my initial idea for a cafe and zen space that combined my passion for loose leaf tea & yoga. the concept, originally to be a cafe that could transform at night into a yoga studio, took shape over the last decade. when the stars aligned in february 2023 to make it all happen, my vision and direction for this space was crystal clear. i built the zen oasis i always wanted; a space the yogis who inspired me could call home & where others could fall in love with yoga like i did.

this zen space concept is really at the core of what &asanas hopes to foster – a beautiful, healing, peaceful environment for the community to connect and bloom. i’m thrilled to offer the home we all need for asana practice & beyond while sharing my love of loose leaf tea, offering it complimentary in our zen lounge.

it has been a collective that built &asanas, with annette mellor & cathy casagrande at its foundation. with all the love and appreciation, this space is dedicated to them & to the community that has been missing it’s yoga home. 

seeing this vision come together has been so beautifully rewarding. thank you for being here—i am honoured to be on this journey with all of you!
