Health and Wellbeing Festival To Be Held in Cannizaro Park

---

A chance for a weekend of inner peace after a tumultuous year

Cannizaro Park in Wimbledon

The Friends of Cannizaro Park are bringing some more positive vibes to the summer with the return of the ICANN Health and Well Being Festival for one weekend commencing Friday 11 June.

In addition to the programme from last year, which included a variety of yoga classes, pilates, meditation and Breathwork Therapy, there will be an introduction to the foundation of Tai Chi with a new Qigong and Tai Chi class.

The programme will be led by local specialists who will be addressing a range of health and well-being concerns. Within the tranquil setting of the Italian Garden, there will be a total of 11 different classes to choose from, held in a safe and socially distanced environment.

The Festival begins with pilates and yoga specifically aimed at those who have spent too much time at your desk in front of a computer screen.

If you are looking for a more dynamic experience there is a selection of yoga and pilates throughout the weekend. Kerry and Charles return with their introduction to Breathwork Therapy.
