Going it alone to a festival {Soul Circus 2016 ~ Preview}

Whilst still on a high from attending Camp Bestival last weekend, with thousands of other family festival goers, I now look ahead to a calmer experience at Soul Circus. Challenging myself this year, and setting a few goals before I hit the magical age of 40, I'll be stepping outside of my comfort zone by attending Soul Circus alone. With the main focus of the festival being Yoga and Wellness I have a good feeling that the other 500 festival goers will be of a like-minded nature and I don't think I'll feel alone for long. That's not to say I'm not a little bit nervous though. To ease my concerns I have stream lined my usual festival packing list to make setting up camp more manageable and I have perfected the solo erecting of my tent - as long as the wind is calm! I plan to pack light; yoga leggings, crop tops and baggy vests to see me through plenty of classes and workshops and comfortable cosy yoga pants for some evening relaxation. I'll also be adding these, easy to pack, unbelievably soft organic bamboo eco, leggings and vest from Boody to my case. They are great to pair up with brighter clothing or layer for warmth.

Soul Circus have just released their Yoga Class Timetable and Wellness Workshop Schedule with plenty happening each day to keep me busy. In contrast to Camp Bestival, where we struck a good balance between family fun and adult me time, at Soul Circus it is just me to think about. Going solo to a festival does have some advantages that I can see straight away; I can get up when I'm ready to, prepare my own morning cuppa and porridge without the worry of having to escort any children to the toilets, set my own agenda for the day and change plans without upsetting anyone else, eat lunch and dinner when my stomach is hungry but most importantly I can do yoga whenever I like!

#YOGAPOWERPOSE {Active in Style Yoga Competition}

Since reigniting my love for yoga, starting a weekly class and making plans to take myself off to a yoga festival I have discovered the joy of yoga clothing! When bending, stretching and twisting oneself into a multitude of yoga poses it is essential to feel confident in the clothes that are bending, stretching and twisting with you. Active in Style, who sell a range of worldwide fashionable yoga clothing curated from the best brands in the business, came to my attention recently and I lost myself for a fair while online pouring over beautiful leggings such as these... 

Products are selected based on their ability to move with your body so fabric isn't getting in the way of your yoga poses - because let's face it nobody needs extra fabric when getting themselves into poses like Karnapidasana!

Speaking of poses, Active in Style have recently launched a competition to win a £200 gift card and entering is as straightforward as striking a pose!
Simply upload your photo of your #YOGAPOWERPOSE to Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest or Facebook, tag @ActiveinStyle in your photo and caption and keep posing.
The competition closes on 27/07/2016 and more details of the competition can be found here.
