What an incredible day at the club! Yesterday morning, we turned our outfield into a massive open-air studio for an unforgettable outdoor yoga session.

Seeing dozens of mats laid out across the pitch under the open sky was absolutely amazing. A huge thank you to everyone who took part, brought their positive energy, and stretched out in the fresh air, as well to our talented instructor Lisa for leading such a fantastic session in aid of someone very special..

Check out some of the moments from the morning below! 🧘✨
