festival of brigid (imbolc) yoga retreat day
saturday 30 january 2027
Join me for The Festival of Brigid (Imbolc) with a day of uplifting yoga, seasonal nourishment and heartfelt connection. The Goddess Brigid represents fire, water and creativity and Imbolc marks the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. This is a time of subtle shifts - the slow return of light, the first stirrings beneath frozen ground, and the gentle promise of renewal. Imbolc does not celebrate visible growth, rather it honours readiness — the careful tending that happens before emergence. It reminds us that growth begins long before we see results. Our morning session will be a Vinyasa Flow practice, complimented by an afternoon session of quiet Restful Restorative Yoga. This Festival of Brigid takes place in the most stunning, spacious and bright venue in Kensal Rise and is open to all levels.
the yoga sessions
During this Festival of Brigid Retreat Day you will enjoy two thoughtfully designed yoga sessions.
The Morning Session (120 mins) Breathing, Vinyasa Flow and Guided Relaxation
The Afternoon Session (90 mins) is a stiller practice of nurturing Restorative &/or Yin Yoga and Guided Relaxation
All practices are woven together with poetry, insight and inspiration.
colourful & seasonal food
Enjoy a delicious, vibrant, Vegetarian lunch after the morning practice. All the courses and afternoon treats are homemade from scratch using fresh, seasonal ingredients.
