Across the past few months, BIRKENSTOCK has been collaborating on creative workshops with a range of London-based artists at its pop-up space BIRKENSTOCK STUDIO: WALK WITH ME in Shoreditch. Footwear designer Helen Kirkum, cross-disciplinary artist Jyrrel, designer Pia Schiele and FKABAM chef Lee Tiernan have all been in residence and now Joke Adejumo of Hackney-based massage studio Bodied is in the house for August.
Bodied’s mission is to help its clientele foster meaningful connectivity between brain and frame through bodywork and massage, and for the BIRKENSTOCK residency, Joke and the Bodied team have curated a specialist programme of events centred around foot health, mobility and wellbeing. Each Tuesday from the 6th August across the four-week residency, lower body massages will be available in the POD massage therapy room at the Studio.
On Thursday 15th August, Joke will be in conversation with Rotimi Odukoya, explorer and contributor at GQ, and leading mobility and running technique coach James Wauchope, discussing the importance of foot health and mobility in action sports. The final workshop on Thursday 22nd August will be an active recovery session supported by Yogi Bare and led by James Wauchope, focused around foot, ankle and hip health, with the option to join a 3k run looping the BIRKENSTOCK studio with LDN SLCT coaches Emmanuel Ovola and Daniel Sabiiti.
The POD massages cost £15 for a 40-minute treatment and both of the workshops are FREE to attend on a first come, first served basis.
