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

No endings just new chapters.

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.

Whole Mama Village - Pregnancy Women’s Sharing Circle

Expecting a little one is a beautiful journey filled with joy, anticipation, and occasionally uncertainty. However, you don’t have to navigate this path alone! Our Pregnancy Women’s Sharing Circle is a warm and supportive space where mamas-to-be can connect, share experiences, and seek advice while uplifting one another. Together, we’ll breathe in love and celebrate the sacred journey of pregnancy.

Whether you’re a first-time mum or adding to your growing family, you’re invited to experience the transformative power of sisterhood in this nurturing environment. Join expert facilitator, Suzie, a Birth and Postpartum Doula as we create a space of connection and understanding.

In our circle, you’ll have the chance to:
Share your experiences, thoughts, and feelings in a supportive environment, and listen to the stories of others.

Discuss topics like self-care, pregnancy and postpartum wellness, and birthing intentions.

Forge lasting friendships with other mothers-to-be.

Tap into insights and support from our experienced facilitators.

Come join us for an uplifting experience as we honour the beauty of pregnancy together. All stages of pregnancy are welcome! This will be a bi-monthly event.

Let’s gather to celebrate the divine feminine and the wonder of new beginnings.

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”.
