Embodied Love Community, operating through the Community Yoga Project, is a London-based community that combines accessible, affordable yoga with genuine social connection. Classes are frequently held outdoors in the city's parks, with a strong emphasis on inclusivity, belonging and creating a safe space where people feel welcome regardless of experience or background. Weekly gatherings, including Saturday sessions, are as much about building real connections and reducing urban isolation as about the physical practice itself - members describe the experience as being not just about yoga and wellbeing but about forming meaningful friendships. The project reports a large network of around 20,000 yogis across London and engages its community primarily through Instagram and WhatsApp groups rather than formal booking systems. Beyond regular classes, they organise yoga retreats, such as a Sicilian yoga retreat. The distinguishing feature of the project is its deliberate framing of practice as a social, community-building experience, pairing movement and breath with the post-class connection that helps people feel less alone in a big city.
Real Awake runs immersive, sober conscious-community weekends in beautiful UK locations — ceremony, movement, music and deep connection.
