Somuchmore are hitting Primrose Hill this weekend with some fab free sessions. On Saturday there’s an hour of wild yoga and meditation followed by free healthy goodies, and on Sunday it’s something called ‘Mindfulness in Nature’. We don’t know exactly what this means, but apparently it’s all about relaxation and heightening your senses, which sounds rather lovely. We’re hoping to cycle over on Saturday (hangover permitting) so hopefully see you there.
