It's Yoga
Founded in 1989 in San Francisco, It's Yoga has been offering
yoga classes and teacher trainings worldwide for decades.
Our mission is to share the love of the practice!
relax, breathe and go with the flow
the purpose of It's Yoga Brighton
is to be a loving, spacious and nurturing environment
for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to experience the magic of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, The Rocket and more as we connect to our breath and our authentic voice, inviting transformation and growth on and off the mat. In this way, we have a thriving, grounded and connected community supporting each other in abundance and bliss.
Yoga for everyone
We believe that yoga is for everyone.
Modification is at the heart of the It's Yoga philosophy, as we prioritise function over form. That's why all our classes are mixed level - we don't mind if you're in a child's pose while the person next to you is in standing on their hands. And who knows, tomorrow it might be the other way round!
The most important thing is that you keep breathing and trust that all is coming with practice.
30 years of It's Yoga
We are an international family. The first It's Yoga was founded in 1989.
Larry Schultz - creator of The Rocket - chose the name because he kept being asked why he looked so happy and healthy after he had been practicing yoga for a little while.
His answer to all these questions was - "It's Yoga!"

The Magic of It's Yoga Trainings
I am currently in training in Oaxaca, Mexico, with Marie - who was Larry's wife - and other members of the It's Yoga community, and am feeling so much love and gratitude for this system and the people who are keeping it alive. I want to communicate that love to you, because it is something that is so needed and so worth sharing in this modern - often crazy - world.

The Silent Revolution
Have you ever wondered what this yoga thing is really about? Sure, we know we're bringing our bodies into strange shapes, breathing a whole lot and many of us like going upside down. We also know that the yoga we practice orinated in India, is rooted in the Vedic philosophical system, and stimulates both our energetic and nervous system. But why are we so drawn to it?

Testimonials
I became a member a year ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life. It’s Yoga has taken me on a magical trip of self discovery and wonder through the amazing world of yoga and essential oils, facilitated by the splendid teachings of Lena and her thoroughly committed wonderful team. Thank you all for enhancing my life at a particularly difficult time and helping me see the light.

I first tried It's Yoga Brighton classes on an open day, being prudent as it did not look like my kind of practice. Gave it a go and felt amazing (light, open, loving and peaceful) just after one Rocket session. I went for a real test of regular practice and it all confirmed the feelings from the first practice, with a deeper and wider opening through each practice. The location is simply beautiful, get out of the wild town for a view on the fields and two minutes away from a view on the ocean.
