As winter drags on, we can often struggle with the dark, cold and damp of February. Trying to recover and restore balance after the frenetic yang activity of Christmas can be a challenge. 

Join Julie for this 'mini retreat' where our focus will be primarily the lower chakras. Our practices will be geared towards sloughing off the heavy tamasic energy of winter and reconnecting to a sense of lightness as we climb upwards towards the heart, Remaining grounded in this tough month whilst also building brightness and energy through chakra connection and embodiment. 

Come and join us to shine your way forwards into Spring!

All are welcome. 

Booking essential. 

Join Julie and make a concious choice to rest !

Replenish your strength and spirit with this evening of 'slow yoga'. Using restful yin, gentle enquiring movements and progressive muscle relaxation, we will seek to free the body of unnecessary tension and settle the mind's chatter. 

Come along to rest and restore yourself. 

All are welcome

 

 

 

 

The body provides the material base for all that we are. Our conditioning  is literally 'embodied' . How we are, how we feel, act and behave, is influenced by patterns that are grounded in the body.

This workshop highlights the importance of listening to the physical information that informs the conditioned mind. In turn, quality of mind determines how we read sensation as we enter into the body work offered by Yoga.

Booking for the weekend is preferable but single day bookings may be available if we have space. Please enquire before booking.
