Come as you are yoga
This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2019.
Reclaim your lunchbreak with a science of yoga class that will be as informative as it is invigorating.
As you are led through simple poses and breathing exercises, you will discover the connection between the way you breathe and your nervous system. By the end of this class, you will not only understand the physical and emotional connection your brain has with your breath, but also feel the calming and self-regulating effects of connecting your breath, body and mind. This is yoga.
We invite you to come as you are. No special clothes, fancy equipment or elastic flexibility necessary. You’ll simply be taking off your shoes and learning how to breathe with your brain in order to find an oasis of calm and mindfulness amidst the lunchtime hubbub.
Please note that spaces are limited. We advise you to arrive early.
