Beginner yoga and pilates, Kyiv
Groups of six, an eight-week progression, and teachers who explain the basics instead of assuming you already know them.
First session runs 55 minutes. No flexibility or experience needed.
Before, during, after
No performance and no mirrors to impress. A group of six people, one instructor, and a sequence you can follow from the first breath to the last.
Before you arrive
Pick a session from the schedule and book it. We ask two short questions about old injuries and how you sleep, then place you with five other beginners so the pace suits the whole room.
Ten minutes early
Mats, blocks and straps are already laid out. Change, put your phone away, and take a seat on your mat. Your instructor introduces themselves and shows you where the props sit, so nothing surprises you later.
First fifteen minutes
We start with breath and weight distribution, feet bare on the mat. This is how body awareness is taught here: you learn what your shoulders and hips are doing before anything moves.
The main practice
Six to eight shapes, repeated with small adjustments and plenty of rest. Controlled movement means the instructor can correct your alignment in person, at your mat, without interrupting the rest of the group.
After class
You leave with a short note on what to notice in your body this week and which session comes next in the eight-week progression. Most people start with the same one, so you will not be the newest for long.

Foundational Techniques
Every session in the eight-week beginner program returns to the same few techniques until they feel automatic. Open any item to see what you will actually practise, and how a group of no more than six people makes it comfortable.
No flexibility or previous experience is required.
You learn to link each movement to an inhale or an exhale before adding speed. Counting the breath keeps the pace slow enough to notice where effort starts to replace control.
We find your neutral pelvis on the mat, then in sitting, standing and lying positions. Instructors use hands-on cues and mirrors so you can compare what you feel with what is happening.
Instead of bracing hard, you practise a light engagement you can hold while breathing normally. Small-group attention means someone checks that your ribs and jaw stay relaxed as you work.
Range is explored gradually, never forced. We work within the range you have today and note the point where the breath shortens, which is usually the useful edge.
Standing work starts close to the wall. You learn how pressure travels through the foot and how the ankle, knee and hip share the job of keeping you steady.
Moving between shapes is a skill of its own. By week six you can travel from standing to the floor and back without rushing, which keeps the practice safe as it grows.
Formats
Three ways to practise with us, ranked by how much individual guidance reaches you in a single session.
Not sure which one fits you? Book a first session and we will suggest the right format.
Each session stays at six people or fewer, so you get hands-on cues instead of a crowd. Choose a time below and reserve a place. We reply the same day to confirm.
Times are Kyiv local time. Sessions run at 42 Khreshchatyk St.
Student words
I walked in convinced I was too stiff for yoga. Six weeks later I can feel where my weight sits in my feet, and when a pose pinches I know how to adjust it instead of pushing through. With six people in the room, the instructor corrects one shoulder at a time.
Studio Contact
Reach the studio directly. We reply within one working day, and we are happy to talk through class sizes, timing and what to bring.
Sessions are capped at six people, so the teacher can see every body in the room. Reserve your place in the next 8-week beginner program.
