I have to admit straight off that trade shows aren’t really my thing.... usually pretty exhausting with lots of companies selling stuff and huge numbers of people.  

 

Having said that, this year’s yoga show was a pretty low key affair, perhaps because i turned up three hours before it finished but, it had a more relaxed atmosphere and the venue seemed more spacious and airy than previous years.  I was lucky to be helping out on the Yoga Place stand which was a hive of activity as people stopped to chat and find out more about the studio.  Yoga Place, situated on Bethnal Green Road, is a chilled out studio with something for everyone as it has a vast array of different classes for all levels.

 

This year’s stands ranged from the usual yoga stalls selling books and mats to an interesting inversion therapy one which, entailed the client being suspended upside down whilst having their face massaged....!  The best aspect of the whole weekend is meeting people: Making new contacts but also, catching up with old friends who you haven’t seen for ages.
