Springtime Family Yoga with Hazel Gomez Sen

The days are getting longer and the flowers are starting to blossom – Spring is here! Replenish and recharge for the new season with yoga for the whole family.

Family Yoga sessions are an opportunity for families to bond together through movement, breathing and relaxation to build trust and share quality time together as well as learn new skills. The session will start with some breathing, followed by fun yoga postures, ending with a relaxation or mindfulness activity. This will feel extra special in the setting of Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery’s Eating Room, surrounded by its beautiful architecture and welcoming space!

Hazel is a Yoga teacher for children and teenagers, graduated from Yoga Campus. Hazel has been practicing yoga for more than 15 years and with her daughter since 2012. She currently teaches a Breakfast Club, children afternoon session and a number of Yoga sessions weekly at a local nursery. You can find more details on her website: https://yogahazel.com/.
