Yoga for Acceptance - an Event for Pride

This in-person session is a celebration of Pride and Acceptance through yoga and meditation. Everyone is welcome - just book a mat.

On the day of the Pride in London parade, join us for a 90 minute session to breathe and stretch and open our hearts, so that we can take a beautiful positive energy onto the streets for #PrideInLondon.

The session will begin with a breathwork and mindfulness meditation, then yoga followed by a loving-kindness meditation to wrap it up. We'll finish in time for you to join the parade.

Mats, equipment and refreshments will be provided.

This session is open to all (please see important *Accessibility information below), and all levels of yoga experience.

See you there!

The class will contain elements of a rounded yoga practice:

• Physical postures - to strengthen and tone the body and increase mobility
• Meditation – introduction to Buddhist mindfulness practices
• Breathwork - simple breathing practices to boost mood and balance the nervous system
• Relaxation – can you believe we have to learn that? But we do!
