Get your downward dog on with these online yoga and pilates classes!

April 19, 2020 by Emily Mertens

For those of us used to heading to gym classes and yoga studios, COVID-19 has forced us to turn to one walk or run a day, or instead trying the dreaded home workout.

It might not be the same as going to an action-packed fitness class with your best mate, but we think we've found the best alternative!

A range of local studios are offering online yoga and pilate classes, the perfect way to keep fit and have fun - plus, it's also a great way of supporting local businesses during these difficult times.

So, here are a range of Leigh and Southend studios offering a variety of workouts to keep you occupied during lockdown.

This local studio is offering a range of recorded classes for yogis and beyond to enjoy over the course of lockdown.

With the kids at home, there is also a ton of children's classes to choose from - a great way of keeping them entertained for a bit. The recorded classes last between 45 minutes - 1 hour.
