Welcome to CAYC - PronouncedโจCake
(a very Happy coincidence)
We are a Joyful Wellness community in Earlsfield, South West London serving up yoga, pilates, barre, pre and postnatal classes and a creative array of special events, retreats, workshops and more. Our passion is to nurture an inclusive environment that is free from judgement, expectation and any hint of diet culture.
CAYC's purpose is rooted in creating an experience that is welcoming and friendly to all. A safe pace to connect with yourself and others, leaving you feeling nourished, uplifted and with a renewed sense of joy for all the practices that bring you calm and connection. โโ
We hope to provide a solution to what we are all in desperate need of - community.
CAYC offers a cosy sanctuary
in a busy world.
Youโll find us just twenty minutes from central London, yet youโll feel as if you have arrived at a rural retreat. Our studio is surrounded by an abundance of nature, tucked away within the trees, the soothing sounds of the river flowing beside us, rustling leaves, birdsong and quacking ducks. The true definition of a hidden gem.
Our Joyful Wellness studio offers a refreshing perspective on how โwellnessโ is defined. Freeing ourselves from judgement or fitting into what is expected and leaning into our own unique exploration.
Through our offerings led by our passionate team of teachers, thoughtful language and intentional design choices in our studio, we celebrate rituals that nurture community. Feel good movement, conversation, connecting with new people over a pre-class cup of tea, gathering around a table of delicious cakes. It is all wellness.
We are slowly unlearning the idea that one thing is good and the other is bad, or that movement is a form of punishment for eating food that brings you pleasure. There is no such thing as a guilty pleasure, itโs just pleasure.
Come as you are. Everyone is welcome here.
