Peace Be with You

Yoga. In theory: relaxing.

In practice: a stressful group activity with 100 sweaty stress balls who’ve schlepped across the capital after work to contort their bodies - in your face.

Yogoloji, a company that arranges bliss-inducing yoga retreats in Barbados, Brazil and Tanzania, has just set up a cozy nook on Ebury Street. Forget about hefty sessions of compulsory downward-dogging at sparrow’s fart followed by a rice cake and rank tea. The vibe is posh yet affordable, and all they do is one-on-one yoga. No stinky group classes: just you and whatever your body needs.

Which may be one of their unbelievably good massages. There are four kinds to choose from: worker bee, rubber neck, soul and body. (You know who you are). Do not operate heavy machinery or attend any demanding social functions after these; all you’ll want to do is curl up and go to sleep.

Do so. You’ll need your energy to cross the city again tomorrow.
