If you thought it was all over for yoga/alternative festivals this year, think again!
This year, there's in a new kid on the growing block of summer UK yoga events: The Yoga Groove Festival (YGF) in East Sussex, running this weekend (September 17-19).
YGF promises to bring festival-goers 'eclectic dance workshops, show-stopping performances, holistic therapies of your wildest dreams', and delicious f
ood (raw and Indian, amongst other options).
And, of course, there's the yoga - from Anusara and AcroYoga to Astanga, flow classes and beginners' sessions.
There will even be a Rhythm and Dance tent and Shakti stage; the setting for live acts and cabaret.
A three-day festival pass costs £150; yoga abode readers can take advantage of 20% off this price (enter YOGAABODE in the discount code box when booking via www.yogagroovefestival.com - offer valid until September 10).
Apart from the enticing programme, there's an interesting story behind the festival, which wlil be run under the umbrella brand of Yoga Groove Foundation.
Triyoga and Life Centre teacher Lisa Sanfilippo is the brains behind the festival and charity; she comes from a 15-year background of managing non profit organisations, and says the guiding ethos is 'sharing a spirit of celebration that connects body, mind and spirit'.
It sounds like a fun, wonderful way to wave farewell to the summer. For details or to book, contact the team at info@yogagroovefestival.com or see www.yogagroovefestival.com
