Following the success of the inaugural Snail Mail workshop during the 2009 Festival, poet Miriam Nash returns to Foyles with a series of opportunities for you to rediscover the creative potential of picking up a pen. Sign up for one, two or all three of these Saturday sessions to explore what happens when you stop texting and start thinking.

Lunchtime Yoga is also making a triumphant return to Foyles with a six-week course of Wednesday classes to help you release morning tension and re-energise for the afternoon ahead. No experience is necessary for these gentle, but dynamic, classes which will be led by Tessa Watt, co-director of Slow Down London.

And Tessa will be joined by her fellow directors, Deepa Patel and Amanda Stone, to ease you through a full day’s worth of slowing down on Saturday 21st November 2009. Come along to Slow Down London Day and immerse yourself in slowness by, amongst other things, introductions to deep breathing and the pleasure of eating slowly enough to taste.

Further information can be found by scrolling down on the Foyles website, along with details of how to book your place for any and all of these mellow events.
