About this Event
Inclusive yoga teacher and movement specialist Lucy B is embarking on a new collaboration with artist and yoga teacher in training, Scottee. Their new endeavour Lucy B and Scottee Present will host annual events and retreats for fat, queer, neurodiverse, weird and / or mad people often sidelined by yoga spaces, white wellness and thin superiority.
A Day of Stretching our Bodies and Brains will be held in London and includes a day of chat, yoga practice and meeting other people a bit like you.
The workshop starts off with a brew 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 will host a discussion about the relationship we have with our bodies. Then there’s just time for some super restful practice to end off the day.
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.

Content Guidelines
We’ll be discussing our relationship to our bodies, the nature of the discussion means we can’t pre-determine what might be discussed and how it will be spoken about. Scottee will endeavour to create a safe space for discussion with boundaries and closure
