Yoga mornings

Yogasphere and The View from The Shard are proud to bring our clients sky high yoga classes! Join Leo and Mandy exclusively at our weekly classes in The View. Its a great way to kick start your weekend or trip to London! We recommend you bring your smartphone, prepared to take some stunning pictures.

You will get additional time to view before class and after, the class itself is from 8.30-9.30am. Our clients may also ascend to the highest accessible point of The Shard, Level 72, an open-air viewing platform exposed to the elements and sounds of the city below, offering the chance to gaze up to the shards of glass that form the top of the sculptural building as they disappear into the sky. On hotter days, we run the classes/meditation in the open air area if its not too windy!
