Life Centre reviews
There are definitely some teachers who miss the self-development aspect of yoga - this is not a competition, people!
Apart from that, though, it's a good venue, everything is always fresh and clean, and the reception staff are friendly and welcoming.
Classes during the day are anything but packed, so if you can make it to those, it's a very good option. Try a few different teachers till you find one who 'gets it'...

An amazing place - such a wonderful welcoming vibe and some really terrific teachers. A nice community - there is a large, longstanding group of practitioners who go, which makes it more real and personal than some of the more fashionista centres. It has changed my life!

I took an advanced dynamic yoga class here and had the most obnoxious instructor known to man. When some of the students were unable to do the more difficult positions and chose an easier alternative, she literally barked "WHY are you doing that? That is NOT what I have told you to do!!", embarrassing the students and everyone else. She literally scoffed and snickered at every student who did not do a move correctly. I left feeling more stressed than when I arrived, not to mention completely furious that I had paid £12 to watch this horrifying woman ridicule me and my friends.
In addition to the traumatising teacher, the woman at the front desk took my £5 deposit for the locker key, only to pretend as I was leaving that she couldn't remember how much I had given her. I practically had to barter to get my 5 quid back. It was unbelievable.
I have been doing yoga for four years all over the world, and this is by far the most (and one of the only!) unpleasant experiences I have ever had. I am still reeling in disbelief.

I've never had a bad class or teacher here. Wish I lived closer so I could go every day!

I attend the Life Centre on a regular basis and was surprised to see such awful reviews on this site. The centre is such an amazing source for yoga in West London and I don't know where I'd be without it! Some of the teachers there are world known for their teaching and there's a huge range of therapies to choose from too. It's a really homely place with lovely staff.

Too busy, too money-minded, not enough care. I went there for a while because it's close to where I live, but I just couldn't take it any more. Sad really.

They are too busy. You have to get there 15 minutes before the class starts and wait to run in and make sure you secure your spot. They let far too many people in their classes, not to mention that some of their teachers (who teach on Saturdays) are really, really terrible.

The teaching and the range of yoga offered at the Life Centre is excellent.

Great centre and teachers. Iyengar classes are justifiably popular and they also offer quite a few treatments such as reflexology and massage.
