Yoga State of Mind is hosting an outdoors wellbeing event to celebrate International Yoga Day!
The event will take place on Friday 21st June, with 16 classes across yoga, meditation, sound bath and energy and is taking place in one of the most breathtaking locations in the city, the Labyrinth, with stunning views over Willen Lake North and Peace Pagoda. Running for the first time this year, the initiative is planned to become an annual date for yoga enthusiasts.
Joanna Konefal is the founder of Yoga State of Mind, an enterprise comprising of different yoga & mental health related initiatives, including weekly Mindful Yoga classes, International Yoga Day event in Milton Keynes, and international yoga retreats at UNESCO protected areas including Southern Europe, India, Nepal and Jordan.
A spokesperson at Yoga State of Mind said, “We aim to raise awareness about the effects of yoga, meditation, and other activities on Mental Health. We recognise increasing need for support for all who struggle with long-term issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, but also those who are interested in self-development.
"For someone who has not been well for a while it may be difficult to appreciate the simple things like ability to breathe or enjoy nature. Yoga State of Mind has created opportunities for everyone to taste how it feels to be calm and centred.
“We strive for participants to continue their practice beyond this event. We have removed barriers to join by offering free tickets on first come, first serve basis, as well as pay-what-you-can tickets for individual classes.”
International Yoga Day event is a collaboration of local like-minded teachers and holistic professionals. Support of local sponsors and media partners shows that the community has incredible potential to grow.
Milton Keynes is becoming a hot spot of wellbeing services, offering many collaboration opportunities yet to be explored.
