A free one-day yoga festival, believed to be the first in Brighton, will take place this summer in the heart of Kemptown.
The Brighton Yoga Festival, which takes place in and around St George’s Church, Kemptown, on July 26, 2014, is a full day aimed at those completely new to yoga as well as seasoned yogis. Caroline Lucas MP for Brighton Pavilion is due to open the festival.
Co-founder of the festival Davy Jones, is also the Green parliamentary candidate for Brighton Kemptown.
He said: “The aim of the Brighton Yoga Festival is, more than anything else, to give a taste of yoga to people who are curious but have never actually tried it before. There will be free beginner and taster sessions, demonstrations and workshops throughout the day for adults and children, covering a number of different yoga styles, from Vinyasa Flow to Ashtanga, supported by the major yoga schools and teachers from across Brighton and Hove.”
Co-founder Mikaela Perera added: “As well as yoga sessions, the interior of St George’s Church will have a music stage, featuring a number of live performers, plus areas dedicated to massage and other therapies, as well as stalls selling street food. And the cafe will be serving vegetarian food all day, going exclusively vegetarian from 2pm. A by-donation creche will also be available all day to make it easy for everyone to try yoga.”
Tasters of the Brighton Yoga Festival will be happening in the run-up to the festival, as flash mobs will be popping up unexpectedly on the streets of the city.
The Brighton Yoga Festival itself will run from 9am - 5.30pm on Saturday, July 26 at St George’s Church, St George’s Road, Kemptown.
Entry and yoga sessions and therapies will all be free of charge.
The festival is not-for-profit and raffle tickets will be on sale throughout the day, as well as collections in charity buckets, with proceeds donated to two local charities, LifeLines and Brighton Unemployed Centre Families Project.
