Why not challenge yourself to be part of something incredible for Mental Health Awareness! This May, to mark Mental Health Awareness Week sky-high yoga returns to the O2. The event is being held in association with the O2’s official charity YoungMinds, the UK’s leading charity providing support to young people, children and families all over the country.

The O2 will be hosting a series of yoga classes on the roof on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th May. Classes will take place from 8.00am to 8.30am on each day. Participants will take part in a guided climb up and over the roof of the world’s most popular entertainment venue, followed by a 20-minute yoga class at the top hosted by The Body Coach’s yoga guru Lucy Sesto. Refreshments for the event will be provided by Nestle.

With the peak of the summit 52m above ground level, climbers will enjoy 360-degree views across Greenwich, Canary Wharf and the Olympic Park. The climb has already been done by more than one million people so far, and this is your chance to be part of something truly incredible, with the proceeds from the weekend’s climb donated to YoungMinds.

Tickets are available for £40.00 per person, aged 8-plus, and the climb is suitable for all fitness levels. Pre-booking is strongly advised. All equipment for the climb and yoga sessions will be provided.

For those looking to make a day of it following their climb, The O2 is also home to over 30 bars and restaurants, as well as an Outlet Shopping, with over 60 designer brands, offering up to 70% off RRP all year round, including Adidas, Calvin Klein, Levi’s, Nike, Tommy Hilfiger and more. You can also try your hand at one of the many activities or experiences on offer at The O2 on your visit, from indoor skydiving with iFLY, to axe throwing at BOOM BATTLE BAR and even trampolining with Oxygen Freejumping.

Located just 15 minutes from central London, and easily accessible by tube, road or boat. There’s something for everyone.
