PRIDE AT EAST OF EDEN
Queer joy in motion — and you’re invited!
Classes are now live!
Join us for a weekend of free movement classes created for and led by our LGBTIQ+ family, a celebration of queer joy, community, and embodiment. Whether you want to stretch, sweat, dance it out, or just take a deep breath and connect, there’s a space for you here.
On Friday 25th July, we’re kicking things off with a couple of classes to get you in the mood for the weekend (and for Trans Pride, if you're marching with us!). Then on Sunday 27th July, we’re offering a full day of movement, from high-energy fabulous RIDE classes for those looking to start their Sunday with a bang, to more restorative sessions like meditation and Hot Yoga, if you're looking for the perfect way to nourish your body and wind down after a day of marching and celebration.
Maybe you’ve always wanted to try Calisthenics, or wondered what Reformer Pilates is all about. Maybe you’re craving the heat of Hot Yoga, the calm of meditation, or simply a space to move and feel good in your body. Whatever brings you in, you’ll be welcomed exactly as you are.
All sessions are free to attend, but we’re raising funds throughout the weekend for elop (East London Out Project), a local charity offering mental health and wellbeing support for LGBTIQ+ people, including counselling, support groups, and safe community spaces. You can donate via this link and book sessions here.
If you're part of the LGBTIQ+ community, we invite you to come and take up space, move with joy, and feel supported. And if you’re an ally, this is a chance to do more than just say you care. Showing up with a donation, big or small, is a meaningful way to turn support into impact. Your generosity helps elop continue their essential work providing care, connection, and mental health support to our community.
Half the spaces are available to pre-book now, and we’re keeping the other 50% for drop-ins on the day, so come however and whenever you feel ready. And if you don't fancy a class, that's fine too, you're welcome to join us in the café at 4pm for a social, maybe even some Bingo!
This weekend is for you, for us, to move, connect, take up space, and support something truly meaningful. All bodies welcome. All levels welcome. All identities celebrated.
We can’t wait to see you.
With love,
The East of Eden Team
