Light Centre Moorgate

My opinion of this studio hasn’t changed but I thought it was time to write an update following an increase to the Ultimate Health Package (UHP) price earlier in 2015, and the fact that I’ve now had a chance to visit a few of the therapists here.
Drop-​in prices haven’t changed and are still between £12 and £15. The UHP 12-​month contract however is now £75 per month with an additional £10 bolt-​on per month if you wish to attend the morning Mysore self-​practice sessions.
The main reason behind the rather significant increase was to re-​align the studio’s yoga charges with other studios in the area. That being said, it still works out to be the cheapest monthly Mysore fee in central London. as other studios tend to charge over £100 a month.
One new benefit of the UHP membership though is that you now get to use the Belgravia studio which is open Monday to Saturday) at no extra cost.
I’ve now had a chance to try the annual health screening which checked the usual things such as blood pressure and cholesterol, and more unusual items such as my reaction times, my posture and my mindfulness. All of my results are put online so it’ll be easy for me to check any changes when the time comes for my next health check.
I’ve also had two massages here from different therapists. Both were good and really helped to ease my aches and pains. More importantly, there was no hard-​sell, with both of them telling me to come back only if I wanted to and needed it.

I’ve been having myself a little tour of London’s yoga studios recently, and have to say this is one of the best I’ve been to. It isn’t as hippied out as some places — shoes can stay on past reception — but it is clean and has excellent and convenient facilities.
Many massage and physical therapists have hours here and there is a dedicated wing for therapy treatments that looks lush. I almost caved on the £15 neck/​shoulder massage yesterday.
The changing rooms are individual cubicles. There is the downside of them not having lockers, but nobody will yell if there’s something you need to bring into the studio with you during class. Bathrooms are pristinely clean and lovely.
The smaller studio has no mirrors, but I kind of dig this. There is a fantastic range of teachers and classes (including pilates and pregnancy yoga) and the studio seems to get less traffic than some of the others in the area. I’m guessing prices play into that.
Mats and belts, bricks, boulsters, etc. are all provided.
If you work nearby, I’d highly recommend dropping in.

Man, am I glad I found this studio! I was in town on business so I was able to drop in for a couple classes…
I went to a Vinyasa Flow class and a Mysore class. Both were very well conducted and the teachers were very friendly and knowledgeable. The space is absolutely beautiful. There are various rooms for the variety of classes that they offer and the lighting and space is very tranquil. For your convenience, there are showers, changing rooms, and an area for props and loaner yoga mats.
The studio is really close to the Moorgate tube station so it was pretty convenient to get to and I think that the prices were a little better than the other studios that I was considering. Also, there is a Crussh juice bar in the same space to quell your post workout hunger. =)
One negative about the studio is that there are no classes on the weekend and, for this reason, I was only able to fit in 2 classes on my business trip. There was a little bit of construction going on so I think that perhaps the location is new so perhaps there will be more when things get into full swing.
In any case, the next time I come through London, I will be sure to be back. =)
