Rooftop yoga at Madison


Take your downward dog up several flights of stairs to the rooftop of Madison restaurant St Paul’s where yogi Sophie Dear is leading a vinyasa flow sequence from 7am each Wednesday until 22 August. Unsurprisingly, most people find the views of the City skyline preferable to a sweaty studio so classes book out fast. Reserve your mat for £13 at sophiesfitness.co.uk.
