TODAY Bestival has announced its line-up for Slow Motion - their festival within a festival that offers a programme of activities based around mindfulness and well-being.
Last year’s major hit Revolution Rides returns - joining the power of music with a pedal-powered workout led by all round motivator and Olympic sports coach Tim Weeks, and there will be massage therapies, yoga, transcendental meditation, hot tubs and, possibly the best kind of ‘me time’...tea and cake from the WI!
Talking about Slow Motion which will be at Bestival September 8-11 on the Isle of Wight, curator Rob da Bank said: “Slow Motion nailed it in its debut at Bestival last year - and did just what we wanted, providing an alternative space to get away from the hedonism for a while and rediscover yourself and your mates and festival family in a relaxing escape. Everyone loves a big party but we like to look after ourselves at Bestival too, and with everything from the amazing Revolution Rides’ spinning raves to meditation, yoga and the re-energising joys of The Hideaway Healers through to full on surfing action and The Huffington Post UK’s new Zen Den, this is the place to put the good stuff back in… Then to party!!”
Focusing on the self, festival goers should head to Bestival’s summit and step back from the melee in The Hideaway Healers’ Pamper Paddock. Select a therapy to re-energise both mind and body from a choice of Reiki, Shiatsu, Holistic or Thai Yoga Massage, or talk with the team of qualified therapists to tailor a treatment to your needs..
You can even indulge in the decadence of Bathing Under the Sky’s revitalising Hot Tubs, which you can book right now.
And you can head off site for some Slow Motion Adventures with the Isle of Wight’s iSurf, who will be leading surf and SUP (stand up paddleboarding) exploits for the more daring.
The Kids’ Field will be an oasis of activities, experiences, random entertainment offering a full programme of theatre shows, circus skills and crafts and games.
