How Yoga in Finsbury Park Began ...
Mindful Movements was born on a cold winters day, 2006 in Finsbury Park. Inspired by the idea of Yoga in this lovely park, we grew and built our once a week class into what is now our full time buisness Mindful Movements. Mindful Movements shares our passion of Yoga to people of all walks of live. Living in London, we know the stresses and strains of this fast paced and ambitious city. Gloomy weather and long working hours can take its toll and its so easy to find yourself stuck in a rut. Here is our magic...moving your body can move your mind! It is our mission to reconnect people with the wonders and miracles of the body in motion, allowing them to achieve their dreams and goals with ease. Whether it be some energising Vinyasa Flow Yoga or calming Yogic Sleep, we are certain its going to get you moving in an inspiring direction.
