Triyoga, the London yoga studio chain once favoured by celebrities, has abruptly ceased trading, leaving teachers and customers facing the fallout.
The Guardian reports that the closure came without warning in September, and that teacher Kate Comer said she was left with two months of unpaid wages. She estimated her loss at about £1,500 and said she was “reeling” and worried about the future.
The report says the chain’s shutdown followed financial problems that had already been affecting staff payments. It also says the business had been bought in 2022 by United Fitness Brands, which later entered liquidation, before the brand and other fitness names moved to Common Bond.
According to the report, some instructors had already experienced delayed pay in August, when bailiffs attended the Shoreditch site, and again in September. The union involved estimated that around 100 instructors were still waiting to be paid.
The report says customers who arrived at the studios found them shut, with notices saying the centres would remain closed until further notice. It also says Common Bond attributed the latest delays to a financial audit by its investors.
