Why Trust Us
Disclosure
While we certainly don’t promote the mindset of working out solely to justify an indulgent brunch afterwards, the thought of a stack of pancakes that awaits can provide that extra motivation when you need it during a tough class.
We’re not the only ones who have figured it out – recently there has been a proliferation of special class + brunch combos hitting the City. Whether it’s to mix up your fitness routine with friends at the weekend, or to convince your other half to join a session, these places have got your food and fitness fix sorted for the weekend.

But it’s the perfect setting for a unique yoga session led by Psycle, followed by a two-course brunch in the Andaz Hotel’s Eastway Brasserie, served with bottomless juice and smoothie options. Special vegan dishes such as ‘Avocado Garden’ – a combination of avocado, hummus, quinoa, pomegranate and micro salad – have been added to the menu especially for the event. And if you’re on an energy high after all that healthy fuel, participants have full access to the hotel’s Health Club facilities, before and after the yoga session.
The yoga session will be hosted in one of London’s best-kept secrets, the Masonic Temple, housed in the depths of the hotel. Over 100 years old, the temple is an opulent combination of Italian marble, checked floors and heavy mahogany throne chairs. Guests will also receive a Scentered candle to take the relaxing vibes away with them.
