Soulmala is also a one-day retreat where you will be able to create your own unique experience from the varied program we offer.
Bring your yoga mat if you have one.
There will be many yoga classes in the program to choose from. Each yoga session is a full class of 55 mins. Take a class with a local teacher or a guest teacher from further afield for something different. We’re making sure that each class is gentle enough, suitable for all, and can be adjusted to individual needs so you can take more than one class on the day if you wish to. All yoga classes will be presented by experienced, qualified teachers. More details and the teachers’ profiles will be available soon.
Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to easily move and dance.
Our embodied movement offerings explore somatic movement, and transformational and healing dance in a non-judgmental space. Each movement class will be gently guided with and without music. No dance experience is needed to participate. Bring curiosity, open-mindedness, and a willingness to move your body, be playful and dive a little deeper into yourself while exploring connection and having fun. Bring your water bottle.
Be ready to sing, make art, explore, and get your creative on.
Having space for creative expression is so important for well-being. Our program will include voice activation and soul song, an art expression workshop, a sound bath, and creative essential oils for well-being. We will add the detailed schedule nearer the time so you can plan your day with us. Why not register your interest now by subscribing to the Soulmala newsletter so we can keep you informed?

About Soulmala
Soulmala brings together wellness professionals in one place to offer a day of classes including yoga, somatic movement, intuitive dance, voice, sound, healing music, creative art, and mindfulness. The festival will provide participants with full-experience classes rather than taster sessions or exhibitions of products and services. This way, Soulmala is also a one-day retreat where you will be able to create your own unique experience from the varied program we offer.
Our vision is to create space for connection and promote well-being through a range of practices and modalities. We understand the importance of connection and community in sustaining physical, mental, and emotional health leading to more profound transformation both within us and around us. We aim to support and engage local communities as well as wider groups of visitors and friends, making this an inclusive, heart-centered event. Soulmala one-day festival project is the first of its kind to be offered in Bakewell, Derbyshire.
For further inquiries, our organising team of local volunteers would be happy to chat with you. Please feel free to connect with us at soulmalafestival@gmail.com
