Every Body Studio opens second Oxford location in Botley

Every Body Studio will open its second Oxford site on Saturday, June 6, at Unit 6, The Kimmeridge, Westminster Way, Oxford, OX2 0FN, giving Botley and the wider west Oxford area a closer place for classes that many residents have had to travel across town to reach.

The new studio is not just a duplicate of the Magdalen Road room with a different postcode. Every Body Studio Botley will offer yoga, Pilates, barre, chair yoga, community classes, monthly workshops and a run club, widening the mix beyond standard flow sessions and giving the west side of the city more ways into movement. The location is behind the Premier Inn and near Missing Bean, putting it in the middle of a busy everyday route rather than tucked away as a destination-only space.

That matters in a part of Oxford still taking shape. The Kimmeridge is Grainger plc’s build-to-rent development at 2 Westminster Way, and Grainger says it includes 150 homes. Local coverage has already noted strong early demand for the scheme, with 20% of the homes leased in the opening weekend, and the development is being marketed with shared workspaces, social areas and a communal terrace. A yoga studio inside that setting gives the site a clear community anchor from the start.

Access is also central to the pitch. The Botley studio will have step-free ground-floor access and a wheelchair-accessible toilet, details that back up Every Body Studio’s claim that it is building a genuinely inclusive, judgment-free space for people of all ages and abilities. Founder Katie Gordon has spent nearly a decade growing the business, which began in a small St. Clements space in 2017 before moving to Magdalen Road in 2021. This new site extends that model into west Oxford instead of asking everyone to cross the city for the same kind of class.

Gordon’s team bio says she brings yoga together with mindfulness, breathwork, psychology, mental health and trauma-informed teaching, and that combination has been part of the studio’s identity from the start. Botley is meant to carry that same approach into a part of Oxford that has lacked a comparable neighborhood option.

For west Oxford residents, the opening changes the equation immediately: a step-free studio at Westminster Way, with a wheelchair-accessible toilet and a broader class mix, opens the door to regular practice without the trip into east Oxford.
