Reviews of Akila Pole Studio
S. G.I feel so lucky that my introduction to pole dance has been at Akila pole studio! Akila is a great teacher, super encouraging and enthousiast who motivates you and makes you feel very comfortable and welcome! Look forward to my weekly classes! I highly recommend it and get ready to fall in love!
C. O.Akila Pole Studio is a stunning space to train and attend classes. There is an amazing variety of classes available for different levels and disciplines of pole. The instructors I have encountered are all super experienced, friendly and encouraging - total professionals. I love the structure of the classes and the atmosphere! The website is brilliant, making booking classes or packages really easy to manage. I love training on my own and there are plenty of time slots available every week to do this and Akila is always very accommodating! I haven't been training here long but have been made to feel really welcome by all the people I have met there! I love the studio! :)
t.I’ve been doing regular pole classes at Akila Pole studio since November ‘21 and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I think this is mainly a reflection of what an amazing pole instructor Akila is. The classes are so much fun, challenging and empowering. I am continually amazed with what I’m capable of doing! Also, the studio itself is gorgeous😍Cannot recommend this place enough!!!
R. S.Akila is a very sweet & fun person with true passion for what she does. And it shows not only how she runs her classes and how talented & skilled she is in pole fitness but also in her professional approach to business.
Studio is bright and airy, with cute colours, always clean and it smells good too ! Booking is very easy and Akila also keeps communication personal what adds a really nice touch. There is a heavy demand for classes, and she keeps adding new ones to accommodate the needs of her growing clientele.
When I joined the studio I was a complete beginner who has been thinking of trying pole for a while. I discovered Akila’s studio on Instagram and what really pulled me in was the variety of different pole classes. I was interested to progress my floor work and there was a class specifically for that. I’ve been a regular to floor work flow for a few months and also tried different styles .
Support & expertise of the teachers ( I’ve had the pleasure to meet Rosanne, Akila and Lara ) is superb and I always feel accomplished and full of good vibes after a class.
I would recommend to people who are new to pole but also experienced dancers as there is a variety levels in classes
D. A.The studio is amazing, and Akila is so nice! I love the atmosphere and the teachers here, I can't wait to come back!
Z. D.Classes at Akila Pole Studio will have you doing spins and tricks you never thought you could do, all from day one. The instructors are so encouraging, and superb at pushing you that little bit further each class.
Also, so much love has gone into the studio, it’s a gorgeous place to dance and workout. I’ve never felt more at home.
In short, if you're thinking about trying a class out, stop thinking and book!
A. E.Akila is an amazing instructor and wonderful person! I have been doing pole dance with Akila for almost 2 years now and I would never go anywhere else! The studio is amazing and every lesson is fun and different from the others. Akila and the other instructors will always make sure you are comfortable and at ease and she will make sure you are progressing and learning new things! I could not recommend this studio enough! xxx
S.I have searched far and wide for the perfect London pole studio and I have to say I have found it at Akila's. Everything from the convenient location, to the beautiful studio, to the incredible talented teachers and the friendly, warm vibe they all create is just lush. The classes are intimate and you really get to know your teachers and fellow pole students too, which is definitely missing from a lot of other London studios. Akila herself is so warm, welcoming and a brilliant teacher who really makes you feel like you are part of her lovely community from day one. Could not recommend this studio more! Thank you team!
G. W.I can't recommend Akila's studio more highly! Akila is a pro, has such a great energy and I've felt so welcome and supported since my first class. I'd never done anything like this before but have progressed so quickly, had loads of fun and met some lovely people. I look forward to every class. It's super easy to book and the studio is clean, spacious and easy to get to. 5* if you're thinking of getting into pole then this is the place to do it :)
S. V.Love this pole studio, I have been wanting to do pole fitness for about 11 years but could never pluck up the courage to go! This studio was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad that I came here. This place was so warm and friendly and has such a nice supportive vibe. Akila is the perfect human to teach pole, so encouraging, bubbly and patient. I look forward to my sessions every week and all the girls are great and so friendly. :D Love love love this studio! <3 Thank you Akila <3
H.Beautiful studio with amazing teachers. Akila is so positive and dedicated. Every one of the classes I have attended at Akila Pole Studio has been so much fun.
C. T.I absolutely love going to Akila’s pole studio, the atmosphere is so beautiful and it is always clean and tidy. I’m currently taking one to one lessons with Akila and I have learnt so much, I’d honestly recommend it to anyone who wants to start their pole journey. X
D. A.The studio is amazing, and Akila is so nice! I love the atmosphere and the teachers here, I can't wait to come back!
R. P.Akila is absolutely lovely and so passionate about Pole - really inspiring! The studio is beautiful and it’s a pleasure to train here.
J. G.I would give 10 stars if possible. Akila has created a wonderful studio in an amazing location, and a community of strong empowered women that grow together in this amazing sport but also as friends.
I had never done pole before, and wanted to get out of my comfort zone and meet new similar minded individuals, and I couldn't have picked a better place to do so!
Every class is full of laughter and fun, and in a fitness perspective, it's the best way to get stronger and work on yourself. I could not recommend this enough, and if you have any doubts, just come join us for a class - you will not regret it!
S. A.I have been attending Pranayama Pole classes for around a year now and still have the same level of excitement every time I go! Akila is incredible - full of energy and passion for what she does. It's an instant mood booster and the best way to start my week (I usually go on Monday nights).
I started with no pole experience and my progress was exponential. I highly recommend trying this out, even if you've never done anything like it before. Its a safe and healthy space for beginners, intermediate and advanced students to explore this beautiful form of movement.
G. S.Pole classes at Pranayama are honestly the best fun I’ve ever had exercising. Akila is an absolute angel and so, so welcoming and lovely to every student, whether they’ve been coming since the beginning or are new to class that week. She’s an incredibly talented pole dancer but is really patient with those who take a little longer to grasp moves and will work with you for ages until you get it! She creates a really supportive and female-friendly environment and all the students are really lovely. If you want to do pole but feel a bit unsure or intimidated, don’t! Come and join in the fun with us!
s. k.What a wonderfully empowering experience!
I look forward to the classes every week. Akila is fun, energetic, patient, encouraging and enthusiastic!
My body feels better with each and every class. I feel like I get personal corrections and combos and at the same time have fun as a group.
I would highly recommend the classes. Join ASAP!!!!!
A. F.The best pole teacher I have ever had and I had 3 prior!! Akila is a natural teacher. She is highly skilled herself on the pole and is a great teacher. She really helped me and so many other improve far more than anyone else has before her. The classes and 1-1s are fun and not at all intimidating. Everyone is super supportive of each other. I can't recommend Pranayama Pole any more highly!!
s. a.After 4 years off the pole I decided to join Akila’s pole dancing class at Pranayama. Ever since I’ve been hooked and really look forward to my lessons. The class is so fun and has a really girly vibe, with everyone cheering each other on and having fun together. I think Akila creates this environment by being so warm and friendly, and the most encouraging teacher I’ve ever met. She challenges you to try lots of new moves, pushes you until you get them and praises you so much along the way. We also do choreo at the end of class so we get to practice linking the moves together. There’s lots of variety and challenge but so much support. I would encourage anyone to come try it out because you definitely will want to come back!! Even if you come on your own as a complete beginner you will feel instantly comfortable and at home.
S. W.I look forward to my pole classes with Akila every week! She is amazing on and off the pole, and I quickly became great friends with her as she’s so easy to get along with. Her classes make me feel so comfortable and it’s nice to be able to make conversation and joke around/ be sassy sometimes. Her classes have such a positive vibe and she’s all about female empowerment and raising confidence. Her ability on the pole is amazing and gives you different moves and combos to work on and always pushes me to do more. Her classes range from spins, technique, inverting and some choreo, and will help you work on moves you want to master! Can’t recommend her enough! 🥰🥰
S. Q.I'm been to 4 monday classes so far and I am HOOKED!! Akila is amazing and her classes are the main thing I look forward to each week. I was really nervous when I first started as I don't seem myself as being particularly strong but already in these 4 classes I feel like I've learnt so much and the confidence I've gained is incomparable to anything else I've done before. Also the community feel that Akila creates is one of my favourite things. All the girls are so supportive and encouraging and I've already made some friends!! Highly recommend =)
L. R.I have been going to pole lessons since it fort started, I had recently tried a class elsewhere before this one but I didn’t feel as though the instructor taught us much and explained things clearly. Even in my first class with Akila I had learnt so much, She has such a great energy, she is so passionate about what she does and I am always progressing very week. I have gained so much confidence since starting classes with her and I have also made some beautiful friendships with most of the girls. Highly recommend! Soooo much fun 🤗 xxx
C. L.I’d been looking for a pole fitness class to join for about a year before the Prayanama studio came along, as a beginner I’d been put off others due to location, cost or the general vibe I got but Prayanama ticked all the boxes!
I’ve only been to 2 classes so far but I can honestly say I love it! Akila is an amazing teacher - her enthusiastic energy is contagious, her encouragement is priceless, and her effort to know every student and their capabilities makes all the difference.
This class is full of fun and laughter, as well as some serious poling (!), with a group who cheer each other on week after week!
The progress you see yourself making in such a short time is so rewarding, I genuinely leave the class on a high!
J. M.Pranayama provides 2 different practices in the most dreamy studio by the riverside with two of the best classes I have been to!
Akila is an enthusiastic, inclusive & helpful teacher & I love coming to pole every week. She challenges us and ensures that you feel comfortable whilst allowing you to have the most fun possible too. I have been attending her classes for a couple of months now and I have been improving consistently each week! Akila always encourages you to push yourself and champions us all!
Maria’s sound gong meditation is both relaxing and moving. The studio is transformed into a beautiful calm space as Maria guides you. She emits the most calming, loving energy ❤️ My mum came with me having recently got back into meditation and she said it’s the best class she has been to in 30 years! I feel so comfortable in every session with Maria & I always feel calm, collected and ready for the weekend after her class!
Overall I love each different class that Pranayama provides and make it a priority to be there as much as possible!
I have recommended Pranayama to everyone I know ❤️✨✨
R. M.Akila is one of the loveliest people I have ever met. She makes every one feel so welcome and supports everyone so much. I have been to various pole studios in london and found them to be very 'cliquey' and the teachers didn't feel like they wanted to be there. Akila is the total opposite, she radiates this vibrant energy which is so contagious it just makes me everyone else so happy. I have been to three classes so far and I can finally say I've found my pole home. Thank you so much Akila!
S. R.My favourite class ever. Amazing teacher, lovely supportive girls and so much challenge and variety in every class. I was so nervous about starting pole again as I have had a few 'off' experiences with pole studios in london in the past but the experience is totally different here!! I leave each class feeling even more happy and confident than the last. Absolutely love it.
j. W.Great classes here! Lovely relaxing space. Love doing pole here, the instructor Akila made me feel so welcome and confident. Genuinely a great class for anyone who wants to start pole or improve in a fun and welcoming environment!
N.These classes are first class! I came to the first class and haven't looked back since. Every class I advance and am encouraged by a teacher who is skilled, positive and encouraging. A wonderful venue with all the facilities you need to get fit or be calm. There are showers at the venue (bring your own towel) and lockers available. The classes are full of fun tricks and tips. Highly recommended!
