Practical sessions and workshops…

without the feeling you’re joining a cult

We started KALA because most wellbeing spaces aren’t built for a wider audience, often leaving out certain groups and individuals - or if they are more inclusive, they don’t speak their language. Too often it’s overly spiritual, vague, or you need to be an expert in yoga.

We wanted something direct, practical and built for the realities of today. Targeting Stress, isolation, burnout, poor sleep and being stuck in city life.

That’s why we created KALA Business, to bring accessible, team social wellbeing experiences directly into the workplace…

and KALA Social, offering modern wellbeing events for the everyman and everywoman who want to test the waters, without the feeling they’re joining a cult.

Who is KALA?

KALA was founded by two friends with a shared passion, to make wellbeing more accessible.

Breath, cold water, movement

Alex Abbott

Alex claims to be a regular guy and can be found watching any sport in the pub or squashed against the door on the Northern line. He found freediving a few years ago and with it the link between breath and mental state. Now a certified yoga instructor and Level 2 freediver, he teaches breath control as a practical tool for calm and clarity.
