Let’s Start Slow

Well it’s a yoga festival, so let’s start with a touch of yoga in its most common form. Movement on a yoga mat.

Join Georgie in the Zen Tent for a slow yoga session, a 40 minute class where you can learn the difference between your upward dogs and your downward dogs, and figure out some of the other moves too.

Don’t like it? As it’s in an open space, you can set up at the edge and walk away if you need to. OR just sit, watch, and rest. The choice is yours.

Ok, Let’s Try Dancing

When was the last time you got lost in dance? Ever considered dance as a from of exercise?

Moving your body in this fun and accessible way will have your endorphins up and your energy high.

Asha, a local Zumba teacher, will take you through multiple routines which are designed to get you moving, and easy to grasp. Perfect for anyone new to movement, or that hasn’t danced in a while.

    Why not find Emma from the Mvement Studio.

    Some Woohoo Stuff

    Take some time to learn the other side of yoga. It’s easy to assume that yoga is just stretching on a mat. But it’s so much more.
