Cape Town has it all. Table Mountain, beach sunsets, and avo toast so good it should be illegal. But if your current Yoga classes feel like doing the dishes: uninspiring, and a chore, then it’s time for something better.
We wanted to know more about what makes Virgin Active Claremont’s Yoga classes stand out from the rest. So, we chatted to Cami Oats, Virgin Active South Africa’s Head of Yoga and Pilates. As a bonus, Cami also instructs Yoga classes at Virgin Active Claremont.
Step into Virgin Active Claremont: More than a gym
Nestled in the Southern Suburbs, Virgin Active Claremont isn’t just a place to train. It’s a Social Wellness Club. What does that mean? Virgin Active Claremont is built to serve your whole lifestyle, not just your reps. Think cutting-edge cardio floors, strength zones and luxurious change rooms. Then, add spa-style recovery areas and a Kauai with smoothies that taste like a reward, not a punishment.
You’ll find us in the heart of Claremont, just a quick trip from nearby neighbourhoods like Rondebosch, Newlands, Kenilworth, Rosebank and Bishopscourt. Even if you’re coming in from Observatory or Woodstock, it’s worth the detour.
The Mind Body Studio: Yoga like you’ve never felt it before
This is the first of its kind in South Africa. The Mind Body Studio at Virgin Active Claremont feels calm the moment you walk in. The space is simple, quiet, and designed to help you slow down. Here, movement meets mindfulness.
You can try Hot Yoga, Flow, Align, or unwind with a Sound Bath. Every class leaves your body lighter and your mind clearer.
Cami said it simply as, “This studio marks the beginning of something new. It leads us toward a more connected, more complete wellness experience.”
Yoga for every level, every goal
Whether you’re a total beginner or can already flow like a mountain stream, the Claremont Yoga line-up has you covered. You’ll find every type of Yoga you might want to try.
- Yoga Flow and Yoga Flow Hot for those who want energy, movement and a bit of heat.
- Yoga Align and Yoga Align Hot for building strength and body awareness.
- Yoga Calm for slowing down, breathing deeply, and reconnecting.
- Sound Bath sessions to let your nervous system melt into the mat.
- All instructors are trained to guide both newbies and seasoned Yogis, and the vibe? It’s warm, welcoming and always inclusive.
A Yoga experience that goes beyond the mat
Unlike standalone studios, Virgin Active Claremont weaves Yoga into a full-circle fitness lifestyle. Here, you can pair your Yoga session with strength training, a spin class or some quiet time in the steam room. Want to train hard and recover well? This is the place. Want to reset your mind after a hectic day in traffic or meetings? Also, the place.
As Cami puts it, “True wellness comes from combining movement types. Our members can build a complete routine in one beautiful space.”
No pressure. Just presence
Instructors work with monthly themes and weekly focuses to keep things fresh. Every class is an invitation to be present with your body, your breath, and your life. You’re never just another mat in the room. You’re part of a growing, connected community that shows up for itself and each other.
