FOLD Yoga.
The home of positive yoga.
Welcome! It’s great to see you here.
FOLD Yoga was born in 2016, from a desire to share our love of yoga in a calm, non-judgemental environment. We don’t care what you look like in lycra, or whether you know your downward dogs from your lotuses. We only care that you leave a FOLD Yoga class feeling better than when you arrived; whether it’s at our home or yours.
The success of the original studio alongside FOLD at Home meant that, in July 2023, we opened our second dedicated yoga studio: a bright, inviting first-floor oasis in Leyton. With our signature inclusive, welcoming yoga classes and an expanded team of teachers, we love both our studios — and we hope you will too.
So, wherever you are, whenever it is and whatever you’re in the mood for, there’s a FOLD Yoga class perfect for you.
The story
so far…
FOLD Yoga is the child of yogi and coffee-addict, Zoe Sharp. Having trained as a theatre director, Zoe caught the yoga-bug by realising just how limited her understanding of the way bodies function in theatre space was - and turning to yoga for the answers. After a head injury in 2016 made daily rehearsals and hours under theatre lights impossible, Zoe began teaching yoga full-time - and the seed of FOLD Yoga was born!
Zoe teamed up with fellow Stoke Newington-based yoga teacher, Phelan, to offer unpretentious, affordable yoga classes in the Greenhouse. Both Zoe and Phelan crafted classes where everyone, regardless of technical ability or yoga experience, felt comfortable, accepted and able to enjoy the journey.
A base of loyal yogis soon grew and the FOLD Yoga studio was born in January 2019: a dedicated yoga space in North London, designed to be inviting, accepting and relaxing. With a garden for al fresco practice and underfloor heating for the cosiest savasanas, we love our studio - and hope that you will, too.
FOLD at Home
While none of us could have predicted it, 2020 forced us all to pivot and bend in ways we didn’t know were possible. As yogis, we’re used to the stretch - but what we weren’t prepared for was the outpouring of support from across the world when we launched our online yoga classes, FOLD At Home.
Nudged along enthusiastically by Zoe’s Birmingham-based cousin, FOLD At Home was born to be the antidote to #FOMO for non-London dwellers and those of us who struggle to find the time in our busy days to get to the yoga studio. With students from as far away as Canada, Latvia and New Zealand practicing with our expert teachers, our ever-growing library of online dynamic, vinyasa, restorative, yin and power yoga classes allows us to spread the joy of yoga further than we could have ever imagined.
