There’s a massive free yoga event at the Fairmont Empress this month

Combine the tranquility of both sunsets and yoga this summer!

The Fairmont Empress will once again be hosting their Sunset Yoga event for its second year, taking place across their lush front lawn.

After last year’s positive feedback, they’ve decided to make it a series, offering two official Sunset Yoga events in partnership with lululemon!

The first session will take place on Thursday, July 10th from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with check-in opening at 7 p.m.

It’ll be led by their lululemon store ambassador, Sam Streeter, with accompaniment by Cascadia Strings Trio.

Be sure to bring your own mat and water with you, and there will be a water refresh station provided as well. 

“It’s truly beautiful to see our community come together to celebrate movement and wellness, especially with the backdrop of the sun setting over the Inner Harbour,” Lisa McPhail, Director of Public Relations for the Fairmont Empress told Victoria Buzz.

“There is something very special about moving together with intention, you cannot help but feel deeply connected to the setting, those around you, and the moment.”

What began as a way to celebrate the Fairmont Empress’ new lululemon neighbours, after they opened their new store on Wharf Street, quickly became an event of much buzz.

“We wanted to bring people together and promote well-being in our community…we invite everyone to come and connect, and share in the experience of mindful movement,” added McPhail.

So join them once again by connecting with local community members, take in the beauty of the Fairmont Empress and Inner Harbour, and relax into the joy of movement. 

This event is free to attend and is open to everyone, but because spots are limited, it’s recommended that you secure your spot. 

After July’s event, the next chance to get in on a Sunset Yoga session will be on August 28th at 6:30 p.m.
