Evolve Studio Reading open day

Something Exciting is Happening Up the Road

Saturday 19 September 2026 · 9am–5pm · The Evolve Studio, London Road Campus · Free entry


Some of you will already know that we collaborate with The Evolve Studio nearby on the London Road Campus of Reading University. The Evolve Studio is a wonderful wellness space led by Ann-Marie James and a community of teachers and allied health practitioners. On Saturday 19 September, they’re throwing open their doors for a free Open Day, and we wanted to make sure you heard about it.

A full day of free taster sessions

The Evolve Studio have put together a beautiful day of sessions and talks, each led by their regular practitioners. Here’s what’s on:

9:00 — Doors open
Tea, coffee and a relaxed welcome. A chance to meet the team before the day gets going.

9:30 — Neurodiversity in Couples Relationships (Talk · Kate Swan)
How neurodivergent traits can shape the dynamics of intimate relationships.  A practical and accessible talk for individuals and couples alike, with time for questions.

10:30 — Yoga for Resilience (Jo Morgan)
A grounding yoga session using movement, breath and mindful awareness. Suitable for all levels.

11:30 — Yin Yoga & Sound Taster (Lorena Rodrigo)
Long, supported yin postures followed by a restorative soundbath. Expect to leave feeling quietly unwound.

13:15 — Breath for Stress: Mini Workshop (Ann-Marie James)
An accessible introduction to breathwork for stress and nervous system regulation using simple techniques you can use straight away.

14:15 — Restorative Yoga (Jelena Ciric-Milenkovic)
Fully supported postures using bolsters, blankets and props. No experience or flexibility needed whatsoever.

16:00 — Breathwork & Yoga Nidra (Ann-Marie James)
A calming close to the day with breathwork and somatic movement followed by a movement-free yoga nidra practice.

Refreshments and snacks are provided throughout, and practitioners will be around all day for informal chat and questions.

Who is it for?

Anyone who is curious. You don’t need any experience with yoga or breathwork, and you don’t need to know what yoga nidra is. If you’ve been thinking about trying something new for your health and wellbeing, this is a low-pressure way to explore.

How to book

Entry is free but places do need to be booked in advance.
