Only 3 spots per class for1-2-1 attention. Ease back pain, stress & anxiety in 45 mins of guided mat stretching. Kings Cross private studio.

What to expect

Midweek is when it catches up with you - the tight shoulders, the shallow breathing, the ache in your lower back from another day hunched over a screen. This 45-minute mat class is built to release all of it, physically and mentally, before you head into the second half of your week.

Led by Irina K, a former competitive gymnast, movement specialist, and Narvard Univercity educated in lower back pain, this class combines slow, deliberate stretching with breathwork to ease lower back tension and regulate the nervous system. It’s a different pace and purpose from a reformer session, no equipment, no intensity, just focused work to relax the body and calm the mind.

In this session, you’ll:

Move through guided stretches targeting the lower back, hips, and shoulders , the areas that hold the most tension from desk work

Use simple breathing techniques to regulate your nervous system

Get individual attention and adjustments throughout, due to the small class size

Leave feeling physically looser and mentally clearer, ready for the rest of your week

Who it’s for

This class is for anyone who sits or stands for long hours at work and feels it in their back, their shoulders, or their stress levels. No flexibility or experience needed; everything is adaptable to your body and current level of tension.

Class size

Strictly limited to 3 people per session, so you get near 1:1 guidance throughout . This isn’t a big group class where you’re left to figure out the stretch on your own.

Why Irina

Irina’s background in professional gymnastics gave her a deep understanding of how the body holds and releases tension. She’s since worked with professional footballers and office professionals across Central London, bringing that same precision to a class designed for the specific strain of modern work life.
