London’s Best Outdoor Exercise Classes

Penguin Yoga At London Zoo
Yoga has long been a hot pastime in the UK capital, and, in recent years, we’ve seen the practice evolve to combine sun salutations with animal-based exercise classes. But while you might have already heard of puppy or kitten yoga, what about penguin yoga? Yogis-in-training will have the opportunity to roll out their yoga mats in the company of London Zoo’s penguin community this summer. You can find full details in our guide here. londonzoo.org

Paddleboarding With Active 360
Bored of your workout routine? Mix things up with a stand up paddle boarding session on the Thames. Active360 is running classes at a number of locations across the city, including Kew Bridge, Paddington, Putney and Brentford Lock. Stand up paddle boarding is somewhat easier to master than other water sports, but still provides a full body workout. active360.co.uk
Pop Up At The Beach
No holiday plans just yet? Fear not, there are sandy shores closer to home. Fulham’s beach-inspired hotspot, Neverland London, is offering 60-minute yoga flows on Saturday mornings, led by Cassie McClements, founder of Pop Up Yoga Club. £20 per class, popupyogaclub.com
