Best Outdoor Exercise Classes in London
Rooftop Yoga at Ham Yard Hotel
How does rooftop yoga amid olive trees and meadows of wild flowers sound? Ham Yard Hotel has launched a new series in collaboration with Third Space, offering 45-minute hatha yoga classes every Saturday followed by a healthy brunch in Ham Yard Restaurant. Book tickets via designmynight.com
Paola’s Body Barre
Feel the burn like never before at one of the outdoor classes from Paola’s Body Barre. A mixture of pilates, cardio, strength, ballet and dance-based moves, classes are harder than the average barre class. But your body will thank you for it – after just a few sessions you’ll feel leaner, stronger and more toned. Classes are taking place in Bishop’s Park, and all you need to bring is a mat and a resistance band. £10 per class, paolasbodybarre.com

Bored of your workout routine? Mix things up with a stand up paddle boarding session on the Thames. Active360 is running classes at a number of locations across the city, including Kew Bridge, Paddington, Putney and Brentford Lock. Stand up paddle boarding is somewhat easier to master than other water sports, but still provides a full body workout. active360.co.uk
