BERLIN | A DAY OF STRETCHING OUR BODIES AND BRAINS

Inclusive yoga teacher and movement specialist Lucy B in collaboration with artist and yoga teacher, Scottee have been hosting events, workshops and retreats for fat, queer, neurodiverse and / or mad people often sidelined by yoga spaces, white wellness and thin superiority - and they are coming to BERLIN!

A Day of Stretching our Bodies and Our Brains includes facilitated conversation, yoga practice and the opportunity to meet other people a bit like you. The workshops starts with a cuppa and some gentle Vinyasa flow/gentle yoga practice (don’t worry if you’ve never tried it before).
After coffee and some nice baked goods we host a discussion about the relationship we have to our bodies and brains. Then there’s just time for some reflections and some super restful practice to end off the day of gentle questioning.

Should you want to carry on the fun, there is the optional low-key social in a local café where food is served and the chatting and bonding can continue.
This workshop will be shared and taught in English.
