Yoga enthusiasts turned out in force at Commonwork manor house near Sevenoaks for a festival in aid of impoverished street children.
More than £16,000 was sent to help The Hope Foundation educate and support thousands of young people in the city of Kolkata after the garden party at the Tudor manor house in Bore Place last week.
Now in its 6th year, the event is organised by Simon Low, Vikki Stevenson and Ruth McNeil for The Hope Foundation.
They were joined by participants across the UK who joined to try different types of yoga and therapies including Reiki.
More than a dozen stallholders and massage therapists donated their profits to charity, there was music all day and a children’s play area.
Simon Low, said: "Each year many people express how they love the essential ingredients of the Yoga Garden Party, the perfect venue, excellent yoga, wonderful atmosphere, and great cause."
