Christmas is just 15 days away.
If you haven’t ticked off your gift list yet, or just can’t stand the idea of wrestling the shopping crowds, don’t panic.
There’s still time but more importantly, we’ve done the job for you and found the ultimate present – and you don’t even need to wrap it.
Clothes, fancy tech and festive items all hold a special place under the tree but in the interest of wellness, after what has been an eventful year, we have a different suggestion: Yoga.
Experience-led gifts are rising in popularity – especially fitness offerings, from quirky puppy yoga and FloatFit to reformer pilates and Trapeze.
One of our favourite deals for this year is from MoreYoga, for two reasons: there’s an affordable price range and the company has lots of different classes and locations – so users can easily choose what suits them best.
To make sure our recommendation is worthwhile, we tried it out for ourselves.
Of the 38 locations currently available, plus three more coming opening in 2026, we visited Balham, Brixton and Greenwich Creekside.
We tried a variety of classes, such as Vinyasa Flow 45 with Amandine – who swiftly became one of our favourite instructors thanks to her friendly vibe and helpful nature – and Flow to Restore with Sudhir G. (a great slower-paced class for anyone looking to ease into the practice).
You could also enjoy Candlelit Flow, Yin and Meditation, Sound Healing, Mandala Flow and more.
Each instructor brings their own personality to their class and they also mix things up a little bit each time so that regular Yogis get a challenge.
Among wellness experiences, yoga in particular is a good gift because it is a practice that encourages peace and inner reflection.
It allows nervous newbies to develop at their own pace – in difference to, say, a weightlifting class or a running club.
While the latter are both valid presents and great for mental health, they focus more on physical performance and stamina, and often require a social element that not everyone is comfortable with.
Yoga is about tapping into yourself.
Every MoreYoga instructor opens their practice with a breathing exercise, because the classes are just as much about exercising your mind as your body.
This year, there are several deals to choose from, such as three classes for just £10, a 12-pack for £106 or an annual pass for £450 – and more.
This is the gift of peace, and we could all use a little more of that in 2026
