East of Eden is proud to announce their partnership with The London Zoo. Ground yourself on a yoga mat with a view of London Zoo’s colony of over 60 Humboldt penguins swimming and enjoying their evening.
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and step into a haven of nature and wildlife for a moment of calm.
Class starts once the Zoo is closed, so you can relax in the quiet and stillness that bears only the surrounding sounds of wildlife, under a canopy of greenery. Time is made available for you to enjoy the setting and see the penguins up close before the class begins.
A one-hour vinyasa yoga class is delivered by the experts from East of Eden. The class flows with the rhythms of nature, so that you can fully immerse in where you are. They welcome people of all abilities; from those who have never tried yoga before to experienced yogis who want to try something a little different. All you need is a water bottle and yoga mat.
To top off the evening, a zookeeper and presenter will feed the penguins whilst they tell you a little bit more about the incredible Humboldt penguin – did you know that they don’t come from the Antarctic, but from the temperate coastline of Peru and Chile? Or that penguins are incredibly inquisitive animals with distinct individual personalities? There will be an opportunity at the end to ask experts lots of questions too!

The experience is from 6 pm-8 pm, including a one-hour vinyasa and an evening penguin talk and feed.
