About the event

Join us for a late-morning yoga class to the sweet symphony of birdsong led by MuMo Creative, in celebration of International Dawn Chorus Day.

Open for adults of all levels, this will be a gentle class focussed on relaxation, wellbeing and awareness for the beauty of birdsong, inspired by our upcoming exhibition, Wonder of Birds.

Please bring your own yoga mat, as these will not be provided or available for purchase at the library.

MuMo Creative is an Oxford-based charity that offers creative dance, music and movement sessions to promote the physical and mental health of older people with age-related health conditions.
