An amazing new festival is coming to the capital on Saturday, June 4th. City of Om is a yoga festival for the whole family.
This one day festival will take place at Lansdowne Park with classes starting at 8am and continuing until 10:30pm. City of Om features classes of all different styles and flavours to suit all levels of yogis, including a family yoga class beginning at 11am in the Aberdeen Pavilion led by Little Lotus Yoga’s very own Amanda DeGrace!
The festival will not only offer outdoor and indoor yoga classes all day, it will also feature workshops on topics varying from Body Image + Self Love to a Goals & Dreams Workshop (for ages 6-14), local artisans, food vendors and live music. After Little Lotus’ family yoga class why not enjoy a picnic near the Lansdowne Park splash pad and playground or take part in face painting.
Waiting for the next yoga class to start? Why not take a walk around the various booths to shop or chat with local vendors and artisans or grab a bite to eat at one of the many food trucks.
Now that you’re all geared up to attend City of OM, here’s what you should bring with you:
- Your family and/or your buddies (why not bring someone who has never experienced yoga before?)
- A water bottle (a reusable container is preferred)
- Comfortable (yoga friendly) and weather appropriate clothes
- Sun protection
- Your yoga mat
- Your debit card or cash
- Comfy shoes
- Your ticket
Did you know that purchasing your ticket not only are you getting to attend an awesome new festival, but $2 from each ticket purchased is going to benefit 3 charitable organizations, the Ottawa Humane Society, the Ottawa Food Bank and Care Canada.
After the festival why not keep the good vibes flowing by attending the Pure Love after party! At 9pm head to Pure Kitchen Elgin where the evening will come to a close with delicious veggie and vegan food as well as a complimentary signature City of Om cocktail.
What a better way to kick off the summer than to attend a brand new festival that promotes a sense of community, a healthy lifestyle and keeping our environment clean and green. See you on the mat June 4th!
