‘Slow Flow’ Yoga Session
2024-03-26 17:30 - 18:30, 2024-04-23 17:30 - 18:30, 2024-06-25 18:00 - 19:00 | Baker Street Hub, 62-64 Baker Street, London, W1U 7GB, United Kingdom
Slow flow is a dynamic vinyasa practice with flowing sequences. The flow is slower than the traditional Vinyasa to give students more time to breathe in each pose and move away from the “one-breath-one-movement” Vinyasa. A slow flow also allows you to come in to a pose without a rush and to further explore the key areas of each posture. The class offers space for stretching and strengthening the body without judgment or expectation.
The practice is open level and beginner friendly.
Your instructor: Sarah is a passionate yoga instructor with a background in nutrition and wellbeing. Her classes will guide you through a dynamic flow, where you can find space for stretching, lengthening, exploring and letting go. Sarah will leave you energized and with a grateful feeling for your body and mind.
If you would like to sign up to the class, we are asking for a £5 donation, which will go to a local charity.
This session is exclusive to employees of Baker Street Quarter Partnership member businesses. To check if your business is a member and you would like to sign up, please email events@bakerstreetq.co.uk.

Common myths around disorders.
NHS treatment.
Supporting colleagues who live with disorders – the law and available support.

As ever, expect a lively session – Kevin is known for his energetic delivery and innovative content!

Introduction to Excel Tables
2024-07-23 09:30 - 10:30
Because of Excel’s tabular format a lot of people believe that they are already familiar with tables, but they were only introduced in Excel 2010 – prior to this a crude version existed as a List. Excel Tables use a new type of cell referencing, called Structured Referencing, and have a lot of amazing new features, one of the main benefits being that their dynamic behaviour allows the data to grow over time. In this one-hour session we look at tables and structured referencing in detail. Introduction level, no experience necessary.
