Yoga on the Road: Car-Free Day Sunday 22 September

Responding to Sadiq Khan’s call for Londoners to reimagine our streets and public spaces without cars and traffic, we will be running free yoga sessions across Hackney, so that the people of the city can open their lungs and breathe together. The classes will take place on closed streets and parks and there will be thirteen of them across five locations. The classes are completely free; there’s no need to book, just turn up. We’ll be teaching specially designed sequences; you can keep your shoes on, and there will be no mat needed. As Naomi puts it: ‘95 percent of Londoners live in neighbourhoods where toxic air particles exceed the WHO’s recommended limits by 50 percent. And so there’s something gorgeous about the thought of banishing those emissions-machines from our streets and reclaiming the road for the people. And what better way to celebrate a day of fresh air than by coming together to breathe as one. These will be classes that anyone can join, even if they want to keep their shoes on, a chance for experienced yogis and total beginners to reclaim the street.’

Wet Weather Plan

Due to poor weather it looks like most of these sessions will be cancelled today. We still hope to run the 11am class outside Hub, Church Street and the 4pm in Clissold Park. These will be with Naomi Annand and we would love to see you there! We have plenty of mats so just come. If in doubt, remember how good it feels to run in the rain, let’s reimagine space together.
