Yogini Ju is a specialist yoga teacher who trained extensively in India, learning directly from source traditions and long-standing lineages. Her training prioritised unaltered asana (postures), as they were originally taught, recognising that when postures are modified without understanding, their deeper energetic and therapeutic effects can be diminished.

In a world that has rapidly advanced technologically yet drifted from inner awareness, yoga offers a path back to balance. Modern life often disconnects us from feeling, presence, and energetic connection — both within ourselves and between one another. Yogini Ju’s teaching is rooted in restoring this connection, with integrity, safety, and depth.

As the practice develops, the soul refines and the chakras gradually balance and open. Proper guidance is essential throughout this process. Your safety is central to every class — not only physical safety, but also mental and spiritual wellbeing. Yogic practice offers a wide range of tools and techniques, and students are carefully guided in how to work with them responsibly and effectively.

Yogini Ju trained with South Indian teachers whose lineage spans over 20,000 years, rooted in Shaivism, Shaktism, Smartism, and Vaishnavism. Her own heritage is predominantly South Indian, and she weaves this ancestral connection with jnani (inner) knowledge and continued study of Vedic texts, including Tibetan Vajrayana yoga scriptures. Her work is deeply influenced by the teachings of Vasishtha, the Solar Dynasty (Ikshvaku), Vivasvan the Sun God, Lord Rama, and the Jain Tirthankaras.

Born and raised in the UK, Yogini Ju bridges ancient Indian wisdom with a Western mindset, offering teachings that are accessible, grounded, and relevant to modern life. Her passion also extends to the often misunderstood mystical traditions of the pre-Vedic 64 Yogini lineage, particularly the Chausath Yogini Temple, with which she feels a profound connection. Ongoing study and regular visits to India ensure her teaching continues to deepen and evolve.

She has taught yoga worldwide, including in Rishikesh (the yoga capital of the world), South India, and the UK. Traditionally, asana was always practised within deep meditation — it is this original approach that defines her classes. Through this, students are supported in accessing their own inner wisdom, ultimately recognising the inner teacher as their true guru.

Yoga is an ancient practice gifted to humanity to support the highest care of mind, body, and soul. It predates organised religion and is not bound to any single faith. Various traditions later embraced yoga because of its profound ability to expand awareness and cultivate what is often described as open or unified consciousness — the universal energy that connects all life.

Through correct and dedicated practice, the crown chakra gradually opens, petal by petal, guiding practitioners toward clarity, balance, wellbeing, and wisdom.

Class lengths: 60, 75, or 90 minutes.
