Things move fast in Boxmoor Yogaland, and I've had two more events confirmed in the last day or so. Here are All The Things that we have coming up over the next few months.

Family Yoga at the Three Blackbirds, Boxmoor 10am-11am, before the pub opens to the public Saturday 21st February and Saturday 28th March We use games, stories and fun partner poses to get ourselves moving, finishing with a cal
