The Festive Season at
the LBC

Sat 20 Dec – Sat 3 January | In-person & Online

The turning of the year is an opportunity to take stock and reconnect with what's truly meaningful.

The best way to make the most of this symbolic, magical time of year is to go on retreat – but if you can't make it to one of our winter retreats, we've got plenty to join in with at the centre.

Special Events

Join us at for three Day Retreats at the LBC on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day, and a special evening of collective practice and celebration on New Year's Eve.

We'll also be running two special Yoga Events and a two-week series of Morning Meditations, starting from 22 Dec.

All welcome.

Weekly Classes

Many of our regular weekly classes will be continuing over the festive period (see our What’s On page for full daily listings).
