About us
Spooky Sidelong Yoga is an independent adult studio in Lyon focused on clear teaching, small rooms, and a timetable that fits working days.
The name nods to looking sideways at habit — the sidelong glance that catches when shoulders creep up or breath shortens. “Spooky” is our light-hearted reminder not to take the mirror too seriously. We are not a clinical clinic and we do not diagnose. We teach movement craft: yoga, pilates, and stretching for people who want to feel organised in their bodies after a long day on the Rhône or Saône banks.
Our teachers train regularly and share a preference for plain cues over jargon. Guests range from first-timers to long-time practitioners who want a quieter room than large gyms provide. English is the language of this site and of most classes; French greetings at the door are always welcome.
We opened on Rue de la République to stay walkable from metro lines and central offices. The reformer bay arrived after the mat room proved popular enough to need a second format under the same roof.
Studio principles
- Clarity
- Every class states level, props, and pacing on the board.
- Room to move
- We cap attendance so you can stretch without bumping neighbours.
- No medical claims
- We teach technique and comfort, not treatment.
