Skyline Yoga at JOIA: Where Mornings Meet Mindfulness in the Heart of Battersea
At the top of one of London’s most striking developments—where art, architecture and lifestyle blend in perfect harmony—emerges an experience that transcends the simple act of stretching or breathing deeply. Welcome to Skyline Yoga, a morning ritual hosted by the elegant and sophisticated JOIA Bar, located on the 14th floor of the Art’otel London Battersea Power Station—an icon of contemporary hospitality and visual identity.
As London’s winter rolls in, the “Sunrise Yoga” series has moved indoors to the warm and stylish restaurant setting at JOIA, where one can still savour the stunning views of the Battersea Power Station chimneys—now a revitalised symbol of South London. The yoga sessions, soon to return to the rooftop overlooking the heated pool, are currently held in an ambient space flooded with natural light and surrounded by the striking designs of Spanish artist Jaime Hayon, who curated the hotel's interior aesthetic.
But it’s not just the location that makes this experience extraordinary. The heart of Skyline Yoga lies in the energy and story of its instructor, Jinis—known online as @jinisyogi. More than a yoga teacher, Jinis is a beacon of resilience and optimism. Her inspiring life journey and the radiant energy she brings to each class create an atmosphere of warmth and belonging. Her gentle flow sessions honour each individual’s pace, guiding participants through mindful movement and deep grounding.
As the first light of day spills across the city, the combination of slow breathing, awakening stretches, and a panoramic view of Battersea Power Station makes for a magical start. Time seems to pause. In that moment, one steps into a reality where luxury, wellness, and inner balance meet.
After class, guests are treated to a complimentary fresh juice or hot drink and a pastry at the lovely TOZI Counter café—a sweet and soothing conclusion to a truly special morning.
The Art’otel London Battersea Power Station is more than a hotel—it’s a celebration of contemporary art, thoughtful design, and unforgettable experiences. And JOIA, with its Iberian-inspired cuisine and breathtaking views, has become a must-visit destination for those who value refinement with heart.
While JOIA is already a gem worth visiting, starting your day with yoga there, led by such a compassionate and charismatic instructor, and surrounded by architectural beauty, is a truly uplifting experience. In a fast-paced world, yoga offers refuge. It anchors us in the present, reminding us to breathe, to align, to appreciate.
Practising yoga at JOIA, against the backdrop of one of London’s most iconic urban restorations, is not just highly recommended—it’s a soul-nourishing essential.
