Yoga Brunch Club: The Full Story + FAQ'S
/I started the Yoga Brunch Club in 2015, and I have built a business I am hugely proud of, putting on Yoga Brunch Clubs and retreats across London, Bristol and the South-West. I'm looking to grow this community wider, to reach more cities, more people, and to create more joyful connections and experiences…
Our Vision
Yoga Brunch Club started with a desire to bring people together through a love of yoga, great food and conversation. Sat around a well laid table, in beautiful surroundings and locations.
It’s an experience designed to carve out space and time in your week for you. Giving you the chance to become part of a bigger community, nourish and move your body and share conversations through a unique culinary experience.
From our Founder – Clem Balfour
So many of my favourite memories are from gathering around a table, sharing food, drinks, conversation with people I have known for years or someone I have just met that day. This memory becomes even more powerful when movement is involved, that deep connection you get from practising yoga in a room full of people. I have seen it happen hundreds of times, guests walk into the room as strangers then they practise yoga, breathing together side by side and this brings down invisible barriers. Conversations flow and continue over a delicious meal, numbers are swapped and friendships are made.
This is where the beauty and the essence of the Yoga Brunch Club community exists.

You can join our mailing list to hear about our monthly updates, we are hoping to be in more cities in 2023. Watch this space.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please note, we are a small independent business and have to pay fixed costs for venues and menus, therefore tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. If you can't make the event please find someone to take your place.
Do you share the menu before the event?
We like to keep menus a surprise to add to the experience of the day. When booking you can let us know of any dietary requirements and we will try and cater to these.
All menus are vegetarian.
Do you accommodate dietary requirements/food allergies?
Our chefs can accommodate most dietary requirements and food allergies, however it is important to consider due to the nature of the events and locations, dishes are prepared in non-traditional kitchens. We encourage conversation through sharing platters and meals, and the menu is set so we are unable to accommodate specific diets that guests may be on.
