Data from events and technology firm Eventbrite reveals that London is the new capital of yoga. In 2018 alone, yoga teachers across London hosted more than 2,000 events on the platform – more than in both New York (1,100 events) and LA (700 events) combined. Londoners say the practice helps them to release tension and feel happy.
And London isn’t the only UK city following a path of zen. Data from the site reports a total of more than 6,000 yoga events were held across the country in 2018 – nearly triple the number of events compared to 2016 where just over 2,000 were staged.
