International Yoga Day Event at Willen Lake North Milton Keynes

One of the heartfelt opportunities which arised as the years passed was to complement the classes and talks by bringing conscious local businesses who want to spread positive message and often offer healthy alternatives to otherwise modified products. We feel honoured this year to collaborate with several local entrepreneours, each and single one of them with an incredible personal story:

* Urban Om Yoga - find out about benefits of hot yoga for the body and mind, exclusive discounts and therapeutical benefits of yoga

* The Poplar Osteopathy clinic - sign up for a free massage (first come first servce) and a workshop on injuries (spaces limited to 😎

*Prana Wellness - a first time opportunity for MK residents to talk to an experienced practioners, including free consultations and therapy samples

* VeeFlow - one of our teachers launched her family business at our IYD event and it was hugely successful, we can’t wait to see what they bring back this year

* Humble Bakery - can’t miss these mouth watering energy balls, they run out last year so make sure to grab yours

* Awsome Coffee - serving alikes of Premier League this local conscious coffee business is bringing high quality coffee and pizza slices to the event

* Reena Ki Rasoi - will be nourishing us on the day with homemade foods - don’t miss this delicious opportunity to try vegeterian Indian treats, and support a local family business
