BROUGHT TO YOU BY SŌMA YOGA & ELEMENTO BARBERS
Yoga for Men in Battersea Reach, Wandsworth
Men’s yoga for strength, flexibility, mental clarity, and community.
Suck it up. Push through. Perform. Look sharper. That's often the mindset behind how men work out, do their job, manage their lives - and speak to themselves. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it isn't enough.
Yoga for Men at SŌMA is a different way in: a space to keep achieving while actually enjoying the process, finding presence in both success and struggle, alongside a supportive community of men here in Wandsworth working toward the same thing - holistic wellbeing, together.
If you've been searching for non-intimidating men's yoga classes in Wandsworth or across SW London, with a friendly circle of men, this is a genuinely good place to start - whether you're completely new to yoga or already have a regular practice.
ALL LEVELS WELCOME.
What to expect in class?
Guided by Jonathan, this is an accessible yoga workout where you'll find the right level of challenge for you, whether you're after a proper sweat or something slower and quieter. All levels are welcome - from blokes who’ve never set foot in a Yoga class to those with years of experience, looking for a welcoming community of men.
Each session uses gentle breathwork and a short, simple meditation to ground the practice, before you’re guided through a slow, accessible Yoga flow. We’ll close with a relaxation sequence at the end to help you integrate the experience and leave feeling refreshed for the rest of your day. After class, there will be time for a guided reflection and a chance to get to know one another.
It's an easy, low-pressure introduction to yoga, and just as much a way to meet like-minded men in the local community.
Why Yoga for men?
Group fitness spaces don't always leave room for slowing down. This class is built around a different pace - one where strength and stillness sit side by side, and where working hard and feeling good aren't in competition with each other.
We’re passionate about teaching you simple meditation and practical tools to support the work and load you carry in your everyday life, with a bit more ease.
Men of any background or fitness level are welcome, whether the goal is stress relief, better sleep, more mobility, or simply an hour that belongs to you.
SŌMA X Elemento
Daniel built the Elemento Man barbershop in the heart of Wandsworth to reflect the modern man’s lifestyle: one that values health, family, ambition, and respect. The name was inspired by the belief that every man is made up of different elements - strength, humility, drive, care - and grooming should reflect the full spectrum of who we are.
This is so well aligned with SŌMA’s values - and we thought that feeling good and looking good can go hand in hand - so we joined forces to build a space where men can move, be, support each other, and get a good cut! :) We are sharing discounts between both businesses - talk to us!
Meet Jon, your teacher!
As a hiker, cyclist and nature-loving outdoorsy type, I first came to yoga "for the stretching" over 12 years ago, but I soon discovered it offered so much more, and I've been practicing ever since. This journey has led me to explore vinyasa, hatha, iyengar, acro, and yin practices, as well as the philosophy, chanting, and musical aspects.
I also came to meditation reluctantly and sceptically at first: "What's the point of sitting still when you could be busy getting things done?" But by exploring different traditions, I found regular meditation practice brought joy in "just being" as well as "doing", and greater presence and creativity in times of busy activity and dynamic movement.
My aim is for my students to find balance, joy, and insight through movement and stillness. I offer well-rounded yoga and meditation classes that help build strength and mobility - for the body, mind, and spirit. My classes are often inspired by nature, and I hope they will help you to tap into that deep source of energy, kindness, curiosity, and playfulness that already resides within us all.
Really looking forward to beginning this journey with you!
