A cosy autumn afternoon to connect, relax, and top up your ‘to be read’ shelf.

Join us for a perfect autumn afternoon - relaxing yoga, good company and finding something new to read!

We’ll start with a vinyasa flow to move the body and help us settle in, before heading into the book swap.

During the swap you’ll have time to browse books, get recommendations from other people, and select the book(s) you’d like to take home with you! There will also be plenty of time for conversation, relaxation, journaling, or you could even settle in to start your new book… And of course, there will be snacks.

We’ll then move into a relaxing yin practice to end our time together feeling grounded and rested.

Please arrive at 12:50 to allow for a prompt start to practice!

What to bring with you:

For the book swap, you’ll need to bring at least 1 book you’re finished with and don’t want to keep anymore. You can take home as many books as you donate, so bring as many as you like! If you’re not sure what a book swap really is, see the FAQs below for more details

Mats, props, blankets and snacks will be provided. If you'd like to, you can bring your own mat and any extra snacks, drinks etc you may want

Wear something comfy to move in - I'd recommend bringing warm socks and a jumper to stay warm during yin

FAQs

What is a book swap and how will it work?

Really simply, a book swap gives you a chance to exchange books you no longer want for some books you’ve not read yet.

Here’s how it will work on the day:

Everyone will bring their unwanted books

We’ll collect all the books together and lay them out

You’ll get time to browse the books

You select the book you want to take home from the donations

You can ‘swap’ for as many books as you bring. If you bring 1 book, you can take 1 book home (to keep things fair). If you bring 10 books, you can take 10 books home!

Do I need to have done yoga before?

No you don’t need to have done yoga before! Both the vinyasa and yin practices are suitable for beginners. Vinyasa is a more energising practice where we move through different poses in a ‘flow’. Yin is a more restorative, relaxing practice where you stay pretty close to the ground and don’t move through as many poses.

Wear comfortable clothes you can easily move in. You might want layers so you’re not too hot during vinyasa or too cold during yin!

What if I don’t have any books I’d like to give away?

If you’re interested in joining us but you’re not sure you have any unwanted books, please drop me a message (@mollie.yoga (http://mollie.yoga) on instagram) and we’ll chat about options!
