SAÏA Brunch Club with Meroula Hondrou (Galentines Edition)

Galentine's Day is celebrated on February 13th, the day before Valentine’s Day 

Galentine’s Day was created by a fictional character: Leslie Knope of Parks and Recreation. In 2010, the second season of Parks and Rec included an episode called “Galentine’s Day,” in which Leslie gathers a group of her closest gal pals for a brunch full of waffles and love.

“Every February 13, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home and we just come and kick it, breakfast style,” Leslie says in the episode. “Ladies celebrating ladies.”

So with this excuse we decided to bring our amazing community of women together once again.

One of the most empowering things a woman can have is a support network of likeminded women. This is why the SAÏA Brunch Club was born, to create a space for women to come together, connect and support each other ✨

Our venue for this edition was the iconic Bluebird in the heart of Chelsea

Our star instructor for the day was our ambassador Meroula Hondrou: @movewithmeroula.

At SAÏA we are always looking to shine a spotlight on women of empowerment whose stories we are inspired by.

Meroula is a woman who is no stranger to the spotlight. Her career as a professional ballerina has taken her to the biggest stages, touring with shows such as The Nutcracker, Swan Lake and Romeo & Juliet

 

Meroula turned to yoga after her dance career and has a huge passion for helping people and sharing her tools and practices with others. ️

We had a very special guest for the day; @pilot.sdaughter who shared a guided meditation experience 'Theatre of the Mind' with live music and vocals. We provided headsets which allowed to fully immerse in the experience. The perfect way to relax before moving on to the networking and brunch.

Our guests took home a goodie bag filled with some wonderful brands loved by SAÏA:

✨ Pamper Kit from Kiehl's
✨ Ginger shot and smoothie from Press Drinks
✨ £15 gift card from Sweaty Betty
✨ Gut-loving granola from Bio&Me by @theguthealthdoctor
✨ Probiotics from Symprove
✨ Shampoo from Nereus
✨ Clean Lean Vegan Protein from Nuzest
✨ And a  SAÏA London gift card   

Thank you to all the amazing brands for taking part in our event and to the beautiful ladies who attended. We cannot wait to see you again!

With love, the SAÏA London team
