Manchester’s biggest International Women’s Day yoga celebration has already sold out once — and now a second date has just been added.
Taking over Hallé St Peters, this special one-off event blends a relaxing yoga session with the soaring sounds of a live all-female string quartet, creating a powerful and uplifting way to celebrate International Women’s Day in the city. Originally scheduled for Friday March 6, tickets were snapped up so quickly that the organisers, Manchester based and woman-owned Yoga Social Club, have now added an extra date on Saturday March 7, giving even more Mancs the chance to get involved. What’s more, Secret Manchester readers are eligible for an exclusive discount, offering another reason to be part of this special celebration.
An iconic setting for a powerful celebration
If you’ve ever stepped inside Hallé St Peters, you’ll know it’s no ordinary setting. With its soaring ceilings, striking architecture and atmospheric lighting, the Grade II-listed venue — known as the rehearsal home of The Hallé orchestra and also as one of Manchester’s stunning Candlelight concert venues — provides a breathtaking backdrop for an immersive yoga experience.
The grandeur of the space is a world away from your typical yoga studio — and it’s precisely those intricate architectural details that make live music resonate so powerfully within it. As the string quartet fills the hall, every note carries beautifully through the room, creating a relaxing, spellbinding atmosphere that elevates the entire experience.
A chance to wind down to your favourite female anthems
The two hour session includes 50 minutes of breathwork and yoga set against live music performed by the Manchester Live String Quartet. Expect beautiful string renditions of iconic female artists including Miley Cyrus, Adele and Celine Dion — a soundtrack designed to celebrate the voices of women while you move and unwind.
Bringing women of the community together
After the yoga session, guests will receive a complimentary refreshing smoothie and have the chance to network and connect. It’s an opportunity to meet like-minded women across Manchester — to bring friends, make friends, and celebrate together in a space that is supportive, uplifting, and empowering.
Beyond the yoga itself, the event is about shared experience and carving out time to pause. In a city that’s always on the go, it offers a rare moment to slow down together and mark International Women’s Day with the real community that keeps the city’s heart beating.
