Budget yoga chain MoreYoga has opened a studio in Woolwich, London.

The launch is the first of 25 planned openings for 2019 and will be followed by four more new sites by the end of March.

Three of the new studios will be standalone boutiques – in Balham, Hackney and Croydon – while one will be in partnership with leisure centre operator Everyone Active.

The deal with Everyone Active will see a MoreYoga-branded studio open at Westway Sports & Fitness Centre. It is part of a larger plan which will see MoreYoga open at least three more studios at Everyone Active-operated centres over the next six months – in Bayswater, Victoria and Elephant & Castle.

The openings inch the number of MoreYoga studios in London close to 30.

“The London fitness scene is showing no signs of slowing down, with more people wanting affordable and accessible fitness studios," said Shamir Sidhu, CEO of MoreYoga.

"In a city where yoga classes can cost up to £30 per session, we are pleased that we can offer customers an option of under £10 per use."

MoreYoga has previously revealed plans to have 100 sites open by 2022.

The company's business model is to "fill the gap between village hall yoga and boutiques" and to concentrate on providing as much of a variety of yoga as possible.
