Breathe was born in 2000 when top London yoga teachers Robin and Emma Catto could no longer keep up with the enormous demand for their private yoga teaching.

They first met at a meditation class at university and started practising yoga together in 1989. Initially following conventional high-powered careers in the worlds of music and media in the early 1990s, they soon became disillusioned with the relentless stress of the rat race and made a positive choice to explore a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle.

Training in holistic massage, Thai massage and reflexology in the mid-1990s, their interest in yoga grew further from extensive studies with teachers around the world, including 15 months in India and South East Asia.

Having qualified as yoga teachers in India in 1997, their return to London in 1999 after three years on the road coincided with an explosion of interest in yoga, and they formed Breathe to provide a bespoke service for the wider public, sending top quality yoga and Pilates teachers to clients at their homes and offices.

The huge success of Breathe is due to Robin and Emma's personal attention to detail when assessing the specific needs of each client. You will speak to Robin, who will spend as long as you need on the phone in order to be able to select the best match from a network of highly qualified hand-picked teachers, offering a full range of yoga styles and a flexible approach to your ability, schedule and other requirements (from one-off classes to regular sessions).

All private classes in yoga and Pilates are charged at a flat rate of £60 per hour, regardless of location, group size or time of day.
