East of Eden launched 5 years ago and employs 40 teachers and front of house staff to run their 2 physical studios offering 100+ yoga, mat pilates, reformer Pilates and barre classes. When the COVID lockdown hit, they were just finishing a 6 month build to add a 3rd studio space to be used for teacher trainings and workshops, plus 2 therapy rooms, a café, shop and new toilets and showers. The studio reopening March 9th and by March 19th was closed again, however by the they already had 85 classes a week online. The online studio is here to stay, and will be a pivotal element in the future of the studios. East of Eden also collaborates with a number of partners to offer yoga in different spaces, such as NHM, IWM, Barbican plus hosts live music and yoga events with artists such as Joe Goddard and Hinako Omori. The cafe space is ready to go, and we are now looking for a barista and cafe manager to run it.
