LONDON | AN EVENING OF RESTING OUR BODIES AND BRAINS

Inclusive yoga teacher and movement specialist Lucy B and artist and yoga teacher Scottee are back with another workshop for fat, queer, neurodiverse and / or mad people often sidelined by yoga spaces, white wellness and thin superiority.

‘A Day of Stretching our Bodies and Brains’ has been touring the UK with lots of beautiful feedback and experiences. We are inviting pals who have practiced with us before and new friends to join us for a day of restful and restorative practices. Coffee, cake and care wraps around three practices exploring rest and reflection.

Should you want to carry on the fun, there is the optional low-key social in a local café where food is served and the chatting and bonding can continue.
