About us

A welcoming studio for every body and every level — from absolute beginners to seasoned practitioners.

Serenity opened in 2015, in a sun-drenched first-floor walkup off Awolowo Road. The studio was founded by Funmi Adebayo, a former corporate lawyer who quit Linklaters at 34 to study yoga in Mysore. She returned to Lagos a year later determined to build a space that was rigorous, welcoming, and refreshingly free of yoga-bro nonsense.

Today our seven teachers hold over 4,000 hours of formal training between them. We teach Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, prenatal, and meditation. We do not teach hot yoga (the heat in Lagos is hot enough). We do not teach acrobatic Instagram yoga. We teach the practice as it has been taught for centuries — one breath at a time.

First class is always free. There is no contract, no membership, no commitment. Just show up.
