Don’t Miss: The Hoxton’s Fresh + Fit FestivalBy Angelica Malin
The Hoxton’s annual sell-out wellness festival, Fresh + Fit, is back and changing shape this year. Instead of the usual one-day festival format, they’re spreading the events over five cities for a jam-packed two weeks of exciting health and fitness programming. Here in London there’s plenty to get involved in, from crystal healing, to an exclusive yoga brunch with Melissa Hemsley, and a 5km run with speed demons, TrackMafia.
1. For a Healthy Start: TABASCO® x Melissa Hemsley Yoga Brunch
The Lowdown: Ready to pimp up your weekend brunch? Join The Hoxton and Melissa Hemsley for a jam-packed Sunday morning: work up an appetite in an invigorating hour-long yoga class with Sarah Malcom, then enjoy a delicious healthy brunch, where you’ll be taught how to whip up some of her great dishes before tucking in. In collaboration with TABASCO, Melissa will be hosting the brunch, where you’ll get to learn first-hand how to make some seriously tasty, healthy new brunch dishes, all with a TABASCO Green Sauce kick.
When: Sunday 27th Jan, 10am-1:30pm
Price: £10

2. For Cosmic Healing: Full Moon Ritual
The Lowdown: Let go of the shadows of 2018 and celebrate your spiritual side in joining The Hoxton for a full moon ritual with London’s favourite crystal dealers, She’s Lost Control, and shamanic healer, Wolf Sister. During the ritual, you’ll be introduced to the cosmic healing benefits of Green Calcite – the perfect crystal to clear out the old and get us ready for new beginnings, then everyone will get to take their fully charged new crystal home, ready to make magic happen in the year ahead.

Price: £25 tickets include crystal to take home

3. For Outdoor Exercise: TrackMafia Run Club
The Lowdown: Nothing says ‘new year, new me’ better than throwing yourself into a 5km run with the fittest kids in town, TrackMafia. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a pro or even have really done any running before. The guys from TrackMafia will be simply taking you through town at a leisurely pace, keeping the conversation flowing, whilst helping to motivate and encourage you to achieve your personal best. You’ll loop back to The Hoxton, Shoreditch to finish, where there’ll be food and drink waiting to help you refuel.
