Refugees Are Welcome: Free Community Yoga for Nottingham Refugee Week 2026
From 12–21 June, communities across Nottingham will come together to celebrate Refugee Week 2026, a week-long festival of welcome, solidarity and community.
This year's theme is Courage.
For many people seeking sanctuary, courage is found not only in extraordinary journeys, but in everyday acts: learning a new language, building connections, creating a sense of home and continuing to move forward in uncertain circumstances.
Refugees are part of our communities, our city and our shared future. People have always moved across borders, sought safety and built new lives. The earth does not belong to any one people.
As part of Nottingham Refugee Week, Bahia Yoga is delighted to be offering two free community yoga sessions at the Refugee Week Launch Event.
Free Community Yoga Sessions
Friday 12 June 2026
The Sycamore Centre
33A Hungerhill Road
Nottingham NG3 4NB
Session One: 6.00pm–6.30pm
Session Two: 7.00pm–7.30pm
No previous yoga experience is required and everybody is welcome.
Please bring a yoga mat if you have one. A limited number of mats might be available on the day.
The launch event runs from 4pm–8pm and includes music, poetry, food, community stalls, arts activities and opportunities to connect with organisations and communities from across Nottingham.
Free tickets for the launch event can be booked via Nottingham Refugee Forum.
Refugees Are Welcome
At a time when conversations about migration can become polarised, Refugee Week offers an opportunity to come together around our shared humanity.
Courage is not only found in moments of crisis. It is found in everyday acts of rebuilding, belonging, friendship and hope.
We are proud to support Nottingham Refugee Week and look forward to sharing practice, community and connection through these free yoga sessions.
Everybody is welcome.
