An afternoon of gentle Yoga, Pilates and breathwork in Hyde Park. Move, breathe, unwind and enjoy a little more of summer together.

A little more summer ☀️

Before the season begins to shift, we’re heading outside for an afternoon of gentle movement, fresh air and time together.

Summer Stretch brings together gentle Yoga, Pilates, breathwork and relaxation amongst the green of Hyde Park.

We’ll begin with a little gentle Pilates to warm and strengthen the body before moving into slow, stretchy Yoga. From there, we’ll soften into calming breathwork and finish lying back on our mats, taking in the sky, the trees and the sounds of the park around us.

Nothing too strenuous. Nothing to keep up with. Just feel-good movement, stretching, breathing and time outside together.

Hopefully, we’ll leave feeling a little more open, wonderfully stretched out and lighter than when we arrived.

Everyone is welcome

You don’t need to practise Yoga or Pilates. You don’t need to be flexible or particularly fit. And you definitely don’t need to know anybody before you arrive.

Everything will be kept gentle and accessible, with different options along the way so we can each move in a way that feels good for our own body.

Come on your own, bring a friend or bring a few.

And once we’ve finished, there’s no need to rush away. If the weather is kind to us, we’ll stay in the park for a little while afterwards. Feel free to bring something to drink or nibble on, stay for a chat or simply enjoy being outside for a little longer.

When

Saturday 29 August

16:00 – 17:15

We’ll meet at 16:00 before taking a short walk together into Hyde Park.

Once we’ve found our spot and settled onto our mats, we’ll enjoy some gentle movement, breathwork and relaxation.

Please try to be at the meeting point for 16:00 as we’ll be heading into the park together shortly afterwards.

Meeting point

📍 Italian Water Gardens (opposite Lancaster Gate station, at the entrance to Kensington Gardens)

As we’re meeting in a public space, we’ve included photos of the Italian Water Gardens and Ebony, your facilitator, so you’ll know exactly where you’re heading and who you’re looking for when you arrive.

From the Water Gardens, we’ll make our way into Hyde Park together to the space where we’ll spend the evening.

If anything about the meeting arrangements or event changes, we’ll contact everyone who has booked with updated information.

A WhatsApp contact number will be provided in your booking confirmation in case you need help finding us on the day.

What to bring

Bring something something comfortable to practise on (a yoga or exercise mat, blanket or whatever works for you on the grass).

It's also worth bringing:

water

comfortable clothes you can move in

an extra layer in case it gets a little chilly

If you’d like to stay around afterwards, feel free to bring something to drink or nibble on too.

We’ll be practising outdoors, so dress for the weather and be prepared for your mat to meet a little grass and earth!

Your facilitator

Summer Stretch will be led by Ebony Somo, founder of Fiery Hearts. Ebony’s approach brings together movement and breath in a way that feels warm, accessible and human, with less emphasis on how something looks and much more on how it feels to move.

A note about the weather

Summer Stretch is an outdoor event, so we’ll be keeping an eye on the Great British weather as Saturday approaches.

If the forecast means we need to cancel or make any changes, we’ll contact everyone who has booked. Please keep an eye on your email before travelling, particularly if the weather is looking uncertain.
