Blithe Yoga began as a small Stratford-based studio with a simple intention to make yoga accessible, affordable, and inclusive for every body. Founded by Lexi Elven in 2016 as a cosy yoga supper club in her Forest Gate living room, Blithe grew into a warm community studio space in Stratford two years later.

Now a Community Interest Company (CIC), Blithe Yoga continues to serve the Stratford community with high-quality teaching rooted in accessibility and diversity. Since becoming a not-for-profit in 2025, we’ve expanded our offerings through yoga courses, workshops, and special events, all designed to nurture connection, wellbeing, and joy.

We’re excited to be finding a new home at The Lighthouse & Gardens, a Stratford-based community centre that beautifully aligns with our values and community-focused work.

At its heart, Blithe Yoga is a welcoming space where everyone is invited to move, breathe, and belong, a reflection of Stratford’s rich diversity and the spirit of community that inspires everything we do.
