Downward Dog
Yoga cards from the Yoga Deck by Olivia Miller

Yoga. Just the thought of it strikes fear in the heart of most Londoners.

All that stretching, the heavy breathing, the hours of grunting and sweating - and for what? No climax. What's the bloody point?

Living near the yummy mummy Mecca of Triyoga, you occasionally see those sleek, dewy-faced whippets prancing by the Pembroke or Engineer with their Nuala mats tucked nonchalantly beneath sinewy arms. Oh, how we laugh, our ample bellies jiggling the wine-glass strewn table.

Poor dears haven't figured it out, have they? London's best bachelors spend most of their weekends three rounds in at the pub. Which means one thing: beer goggles, which every sensible girl knows is better than candlelight for the complexion. Go on: name one good relationship that started over a tall pint of wheatgrass juice?

We may be wrong. Look at Apple's parents; though rumour has it that Gwennie is now back on the chips. Triyoga Soho opens next month, giving meedja lovies and temp-office Sharons the chance to Bikram or Ashtanga straight after work.

The new location obviously means a new clientele. Located just off Carnaby street, we predict Triyoga Soho will become the new pickup joint for those hyper-fit queens so keen to stay in the A-group.

Kinda gives new meaning to the term downward dog, doesn't it?

 

Triyoga Soho - opens Monday, November 21
