Yoga in the Park

Living in the city, we can so easily forget and neglect the harmony and beauty of the nature around us. We believe in the importance of staying connected to nature. Even just regular walk through the park can improve our peace of mind and enthusiasm for life. So.......with this in mind we have set up some classes!

@ Finsbury Park

Finsbury Park is a 46 hectare (115 acre) public park in the London Borough of Haringey. It has a mix of open ground, formal gardens, avenues of mature trees and unsual trees. It was one of the first of the great London parks laid out in the Victorian era.

This beautiful and peaceful park, is an ideal setting for some mindful movements.

We are currently holding classes inside the race track indoor facilites, situated at centre of Finsbury Park. On sunny days we will take our classes outside! These classes are open to everyone and are on a drop in basis at a bargin price of £5.
