Kindred Yoga Presents: Mental Health Awareness Week
Mental Health Awareness Week (15-21 May) is a national week to raise awareness of mental health problems and promote positive mental health. The theme for this year is ‘anxiety’, so as part of our ongoing wellbeing programme, presented in partnership with Kindred Yoga, we have curated a series of workshops that are specifically meant to help with symptoms of anxiety.
All of the sessions will be delivered in the serene and spectacular surroundings of the Painted Hall, making it a once-in-a-lifetime, intimate experience.
Relax and re-centre with a community of kindred spirits, guided by expert practitioners. There is something for everyone, suitable for all levels.

Join Rishin for an accessible but gently warming yoga practice that will prepare you for meditation by helping you focus on your breath, mobilise your joints and stretch and stabilise your body. The meditation will leave you feeling calm and grounded and ready to take on your day with a sense of focus.
Sound Bath and Supper with Junior Valentine
