Prop Workshop with Viv
How do you feel about props ?
Are they just for beginners ?
No, everybody can use them to benefit their practice !
Yoga props can make poses safer and allow for deeper movement and engagement for yoga practitioners at all levels
In this workshop we learn how to fully utilise props expanding our attitude to their use at the same time expanding our practice by creating space and allowing for additional movement, accessing spaces which may not have been previously available to us.
We will work with bricks, bolsters, straps and the wheel to give your practice a boost !

Shining a Light on Menopause with Monique
Yoga is known for its immense variety of styles and practices
which makes it a perfect to help perimenopausal and
menopausal symptoms.
Some days we simply need soothing breath practices that
help us to surrender to the waves of emotion and anxiety;
restorative postures with props offering aid to support us
when we’re in physical discomfort; for exhaustion and
insomnia, relaxation methods are designed to nourish, to
replenish and encourage rest.
Other days we have the fire and the energy to move with a
strong and steady flow, bearing our body’s weight to
strengthen our bones, increase our cardiovascular strength
and tone our ever-changing body shape.
Meditations, whether still or co-ordinated with movement, to
help the fluctuations of moods and calm the chaos, creating
space to reflect and enhance a greater sense of awareness.
We can reach into every part of the physical body to help
create balance and stability, and in turn, help us to balance
our mental and emotional worlds.
This workshop can be a sanctuary for perimenopausal and
menopausal women as we practice within a community of
like-minded women, connect over shared experiences and
come to realise we are not alone.
We will practice together using poses and techniques that are
specifically feminine; breathing and mindful meditation
exercises that in most women can help with hot flushes,
anxiety, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, brain fog and low mood.
In short helping to bring you back to yourself.
Together with our yoga practice we will TALK MENOPAUSE.
Nutrition, essential oils and therapies that both compliment
HRT or are stand alone. Offer support and advise each other
on things that have worked and things that haven’t. Gain the
knowledge to move as smoothly as we can through this time
of our life.

Winter Solstice Retreat with Jen & Kirsty
In winter everything lies dormant in the silent earth, it is a sacred time of rest and reflection before the awakening and the slow build toward brighter days.
The energy of winter is that of going within. It's the fruitful darkness and silence out of which our soul's yearnings and new inspirations can eventually emerge. As we consciously link our awareness to nature's cycles, our understanding of our own personal growth cycles begins to deepen.
In Chinese Medicine and the Teachings of Tantra Winter is ruled by the water element: the most nourishing and essential substance for life. This element is the seeker of truth, willing to dive into the stillness to see what is being called for. It stores much of people's reserves of energy. That's why rest is crucial in the winter.
Why should I come?
Come and dive into you, for you and through you in to sense and feel what you are yearning for from the wisdom of the teachings of Tantra and Chinese Medicine and the wisdom of your body.
A place to BE and share with others and work with the energy of the Winter to reconnect, restore and reflect on purposefulness, sense and being.
A day where you are always welcome exactly as you are, with whatever is there to authentically meet you.
A day to dive into the reminder of our innate cyclical nature and connect to the element of water through the lense of Chinese medicine and Non-Dual Shiva Tantra .
Inclusive of somatic yoga movement, shamanic dance, yin, guided cacao ceremony, mantra, soundscape for deep presencing, embodied practices and journaling for intention setting with the energy of the. Underpinned by tantra and the teachings of Chinese medicine. Guided by the Snow Full Moon.
What will the day include?
