Yogathon 2025 – Celebrating 10 Years of Movement, Community & Giving Back
Our 10th Annual Yogathon was an incredible day of connection, compassion and collective strength. Held on Saturday 10th May, this year’s event brought together yogis of all ages and abilities for 12 hours of back-to-back yoga, raising money for a cause close to our hearts – The Christie.
We’re thrilled to share that we raised £9,185 (plus Gift Aid) this year alone – taking our total to over £60,000 raised for cancer charities over the past decade!
A Decade of Impact
Since we began, the Yogathon has supported:
£55,030 for The Christie
£7,000 for Maggie’s, Teenage Cancer Trust, and East Cheshire Hospice
Every pose, breath, raffle ticket and donation has helped make a real difference to those affected by cancer. Thank you to everyone who joined in – whether you flowed through one class or all twelve, cheered from the sidelines, donated, or celebrated with us at the end. Your support means everything.
What is the Yogathon?
It’s a joyful, welcoming day of yoga, open to all. With a wide range of classes throughout the day, you’re invited to take part in as much or as little as you like. You don’t need to be a seasoned yogi – just bring your heart (and maybe a mat), and be part of something special.
Together, we move. Together, we give. Together, we make a difference.
Ready to be part of it next year?
Save the date 16th May 2026!

Vinyasa Flow is about freedom of movement and expression. The style of this practice allows instructors unlimited freedom to express the practice, so no two classes or two teachers are ever the same.

Vinyasa Flow is about freedom of movement and expression. The style of this practice allows instructors unlimited freedom to express the practice so no two classes or two teachers are ever the same.

The term Hatha comes from the Sanskrit ha, meaning “sun,” and tha, meaning “moon,”. Hatha practice is about uniting these energies; dark & light, active & passive, masculine & feminine, in order to find balance.
