Yoga at the Natural History Museum
Enjoy a yoga session inspired by the Museum's connections with the natural world.
Find your zen at the Natural History Museum with a unique yoga class hosted in collaboration with East of Eden.
Rise and shine with an invigorating yoga class followed by a live gong bath and exclusive access to one of our galleries while it is closed to the public, including our Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.
Tune in to your own breathing, energise your body and move through a series of ancient yogic movements beneath Hintze Hall’s magnificent blue whale skeleton for a yoga experience amongst the treasures of the natural world.
This class is suitable for all experience levels. Remember to bring your own yoga mat.
