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

Starting tomorrow!

Over the next 5 weeks on Thursday evenings at The Lighthouse & Gardens at 7:15-8:45pm Kim Gichinga will be guiding you through longer 90 minute classes exploring Yin yoga and the meridians. It’s hard to find consistent 90 minute classes nowadays, everyone is obsessed with fast classes. 45 mins over lunchtime ti smash out your goals. But sometimes you really treasure the opportunity to deep dive into a theme and topic.

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.

It’s the new year, and wintertime so we’re all about nurturing and preparing ourselves for Spring. At The Lighthouse & Gardens in E20 we are hosting two brillinat offerings this week. Starting on the 8th of Jan a 5 Week Course (of 5 consecutive Thursday evenings 7:15-8:45pm) with Kim focussing on Exploring Yin & The Meridians.

Then myself and Ramila are guiding an Intention Setting Workshop on Saturday the 10th from 4:15-6:45pm.

For those of you looking to nurture, care and expand. Here at Blithe we pride ourselves on teaching yoga close to its roots, these aren’t gym classes, we’re passionate on teaching the breathwork and philosophy beyond the poses too.

Goodbye to our Blithe Therapies room, three years of providing a pocket of calm and supportive healing in this part of Stratford. Thank you to all the therapists that offered up their wonderful work. It’s been a pleasure.

I’m also so impressed that my husband managed to fit this all in the boot of our car.

My mother never cooked with her mother, my grandmother was an amazing cook and we all learned her recipes. But we never cooked together, she was the Queen of her domain. Mum and I cook really well together, it’s probably our best shared skill. On Winter Solstice, us Chinese like to gather and eat with family and here is mum and I cooking for our family. May we gather to enjoy the longest night of the year and look forward to brighter days to come.

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”.
