We are a yoga business running yoga classes outside in the sunshine on Clapham Common. Our website link is www.yogaclaphamcommon.com. We believe that this is a relaxing, healthy and above all fun experience that could appeal to many different types of people in London or visiting London. We were wondering if it might be at all possible for these classes to be mentioned in your guide for things to do in London over the summer?
Best Wishes
The Yoga Clapham Common Team
