It can occasionally be frustratingly amateur - there'll be promotions from time to time that you'll ask gym staff about, only to find they haven't heard anything about them - but its heart is in the right place. Young and old go to this gym. You'll have early morning yuppies getting in 30 minutes on the exercise bikes at 7am, young parents taking their children to swimming classes throughout the day, heart classes for retirees also during the day, teenagers pumping iron in the late afternoons (bring nose plugs), and harassed-looking commuters sweating on the treadmills in the evenings. You know how sometimes you can go to the gym and feel out of place, because everyone is so young, toned and perfect? You won't have that problem here; it's full of regular people trying to drop a few kilos. And a good selection of classes, too. Spinning, Body Balance, Yoga, Tai Chi, Body Pump whatever takes your fancy, really. It's a really good way to meet friends. ... and I don't mean that in the dodgy 1970's do you swing? way.

I've attended Mindful Movements Vinyasa Flow yoga classes with Hana and her sister Aya for about 6…read moreyears. Initially I was less committed, but as I began to understand my own potential and got better at not comparing myself to others in class (mainly worrying I would never be as flexible or as strong as my fellow classmates!) I started to attend more regularly. Yoga with Hana and Aya is dynamic, challenging and fun. I go along to 2-3 classes a week now and love everything about them; the friendly and welcoming attitude, the wonderful opportunity to practice outside in beautiful Finsbury Park and the excellent teaching. The indoor class at the Redmond Centre on a Monday night is close to home making it brilliantly convenient as an after work exercise option with not far to go after the class has finished! With its clean, large, spacious studio overlooking the West Reservoir at Woodberry Grove, the centre offers a great, enlightening space for practice. Hana clearly and intelligently provides superb direction ensuring you can appreciate the true purpose of each asana. Using the full time of the class (an hour in the park, an hour & 30mins in the centre), she encourages us to be curious and explore postures, not to adopt a one size fits all approach, making for a safer practice and teaching for all attending. The classes are intense, the work goes deep and the benefits stay with you throughout the week. I've met many new friends through Hana's classes, workshops and retreats and regularly recommend her to friends, neighbours and colleagues.

I love the Vinyasa Flow style classes that keep me really fit as they are really challenging, building on my core muscles and strength. I am a keen runner and rock climber and I find that Mindful Movements Vinyasa Flow keeps me in tiptop condition. The classes outdoors are an ideal way to get some fresh air and nature into my weekends and I also love the ambience of the candle evening classes at Islington Arts Factory and the Redmond Community Centre. Definitely the best Yoga you can find local to N4 for really reasonable prices!

I am not such a follower of the discipline as I like to keep fit more with stretch exercises, running machines and resistance machines to enhance the aerobic performance of my body. But I went with a friend of mine who swears by it and I was pleasantly surprised at the way it is taught which is more related to breathing as opposed to anything else. Judging from how many people attend her class obviously her technique is very successful because she began by working from home and is now planning to open a posh studio some-where. Other than holding classes in London Bauman also teaches at several yoga retreats outside the UK.
