Back by popular demand, the Banqueting House events team organised a relaxing yoga session for event professionals today (Wednesday 25 February) under the venue’s majestic Rubens ceiling.
The familiarisation morning dubbed
#RelaxUnderRubens gave the opportunity for the traditional space to be shown with a creative twist for event agents and venue finders.
To invigorate the guests for the early morning start, delicious and healthy shots of kale, acai berry and wheatgrass smoothies were provided on arrival by approved caterers ‘Food by Dish’.
Vraja, the charming yoga instructor took guests through a gentle routine that incorporated the best views of the beautiful ceiling while relaxing classical music played softly in the background. Approved production supplier ‘White Light’, accentuated the soaring Main Hall columns with colour changing LED uplighters and floor wash gobos which they have installed as part of the Banqueting House’s new event package for 2015. To accompany the mood enhancing lighting, the venue showed off their new in house projectors with scrolling images of event set ups and funky hash-tag yoga slogans.
The event was rounded off by Food by Dish providing a post yoga networking breakfast buffet. Served in the Undercroft, a healthy theme was on the menu, consisting of natural yoghurt with granola and fresh fruit skewers and for those feeling far too healthy after the morning’s workout, naughty mini bacon butties were also on offer!
Fully energized, guests left ready to face the day with goodie bags which included a yoga mat and yummy macaroons as a reward for their hard work.
Jennifer Walker, Head of Banqueting House, added “ It was great to host an event where clients can view the venue from a different angle and for the Banqueting House events team to have the opportunity to showcase our new events offering for 2015”
