Organisers are now looking to visit other communities across Glasgow
Painter and decorator and yoga enthusiast Mick Gallagher, one of the festival's organisers, has said that despite some last-minute nerves, the event was even more successful than he could have imagined.He said: “The Easterhouse festival went really well.“When it came to the day I started to worry that at 4.30pm, in terrible weather and rush hour traffic, that people would just want to get home.
When Mick first spoke to the Glasgow Times last week, he shared his story of discovering the benefits of yoga in his 20s when he developed sciatica, a painful back condition. And now, the Easterhouse festival at the Phoenix Centre looks to be the start of a whole new chapter for the team as they seek to spread the benefits of the practice far and wide.
Mick said: “My ideal plan would be to take the festival to different areas like Drumchapel, Pollok or Castlemilk.“We have people in their fifties and even right up to 90 years of age.“We bring it to their doorstep in an inclusive space with teachers who put people at ease, crack jokes and have a good time with it.After taking part in the festival, Councillor Sharon Greer said: “[It was] a thoroughly enjoyable event.
