Hiking & Yoga at East Brighton NNR
East Brighton Nature Reserve / behind the Marina
£35 | 4-5 hours
Behind Brighton Marina lies the East Brighton Nature Reserve with its fantastic views of Brighton's skyline, the coast, and the sea. Our walk will lead us through the Golf Course to Happy Valley and Mount Pleasure, passing rural sheep, cows and birds on the way. This walk feels very remote, with hardly any people or artificial noise.
Panoramic views
The day will start with some Qi-Gong-inspired movements to clear the mind before heading out for a scenic hike through wide-open fields and panoramic views of Brighton's famous coastline.
Yoga in nature
We'll stop for a beginner-friendly feel-good yoga session on a panoramic hill. On the way, we'll pass sheep, cows and many local birds. The tour leaves you with a fresher and more open feeling in body and mind.
Weather
The event is fine even with a bit of summer rain, but we have to cancel it in case of wind and rain warnings or thunderstorms. You will have the option to rebook or to get a full refund if the event is cancelled.
