SLOW sundays

AT THE MINISTRY, BOROUGH

A curated Sunday afternoon for movement, stillness and connection.

Next event: 9 August

Designed as more than just a yoga class, Slow Sundays is a space to slow down, reconnect and linger. Begin with a warming cup of ceremonial cacao before moving through an uplifting yang flow, gradually softening into nourishing yin, gentle acupressure and self-massage.

Afterwards, stay for coffee, conversation and an unhurried Sunday afternoon with a welcoming community.

Whether you're completely new to yoga or have an established practice, the class is designed to be accessible and welcoming. Come on your own, bring a friend or meet like-minded people over coffee afterwards.

What to Expect

❋ Arrive

Settle into the morning with a warming cup of ceremonial cacao and take a moment to land before practice begins.

❋ Move

An accessible yang flow designed to build warmth, energy and presence before gradually slowing the body down.

❋ Soften

Long-held yin postures, gentle acupressure and self-massage to release tension, calm the nervous system and invite deep rest.

❋ Stay

Unlike most yoga classes, there's no rush to leave. Stay afterwards for coffee, pastries and conversation, or simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings of The Ministry at your own pace.

Bridget is the founder of Meala Soul, a wellness brand built around the idea that feeling good should be accessible, genuine, and a little less serious. With six years of teaching experience across vinyasa, yin, restorative, and yoga nidra, she's led retreats and private group experiences across Europe. Ava brings three years of yoga teacher training experience and a background in fitness and strength training that makes her vinyasa classes genuinely energising.

Together they make a natural yin and yang duo — Ava will lead you through the dynamic flow to open, and Bridget will guide you into the slower yin stretching and meditation to close. Expect to feel moved, then deeply settled.
