This summer, Cumbria Yoga Foundation, a registered charity dedicated to making yoga accessible for all, is launching Yoga in the Park – a new series of outdoor yoga sessions set against the stunning natural backdrop of the Lake District.
Held in locations including Kendal, Cockermouth, Ulverston, Carlisle and Askham, these one-hour classes are open to all levels of experience and are designed to make the benefits of yoga more inclusive, welcoming, and accessible to communities across Cumbria or as a mindful activity for visitors this summer.
“Our aim is to create a supportive space where people from all walks of life can experience the physical, emotional and social benefits of yoga” said Caroline Robinson, Founder of Cumbria Yoga Foundation. “Bringing people together in these beautiful outdoor settings supports not only individual wellbeing, but a sense of community and connection.”
Tickets are priced at £8 full price and £4 concession, with reduced rates available for students, those on low incomes, single-adult households, and low income individuals over 65. In alignment with the Foundation’s mission of equity and accessibility, each full-price ticket includes a ‘pay it forward’ contribution, helping fund free places for those facing financial or health-related barriers.
In addition to offering accessible movement and mindfulness, Yoga in the Park will help raise awareness of the Foundation’s work across Cumbria and generate vital funds to support its year-round community programmes and initiatives. By attending a session, participants are directly supporting a local charity that champions wellbeing for all.
Yoga in the Park is part of Cumbria Yoga Foundation’s broader commitment to improving access to yoga through community partnerships, projects, and inclusive teaching practices. All sessions are delivered by experienced teachers who are trained to adapt practices to meet participants where they are – whether it’s their first class or one of many.
Sessions begin in May 2025 and run throughout the summer. Booking is available through Trybooking and at cumbriayogafoundation.org/yogainthepark
