This session aims to help overcome imposter syndrome, something that research has shown disproportionately impacts women.

Where will this session take place:

This session will take place in the famous Vaults space at RSA House, 8 John Adam Street, moments walk from Charing Cross and Embankment Stations. Originally river-front warehouses, the Vaults offer striking exposed 18th-century brickwork.

What to expect:

- The morning will start with a yoga flow allowing you to drop into your body and connect with your breath.

- From there, you'll be guided through some journaling prompts to help you connect to your inner power.

- We'll then settle down for some rest with a sound bath, allowing space to let everything sink in.

Who is this for:

- This beginner-friendly event is open to all genders and requires no prior yoga experience, and is open to both members and non-members of the RSA.

- Please note that this workshop is not suitable to anyone who is pregnant.
