Workshops & Events
Over the years we’ve had many different types of workshops. We have always been interested in giving everything a try from laughter yoga, Kundalini yoga and Chakra yoga, to big ball Pilates and Sound bath healing. But by far, our most popular workshops have been Restorative yoga, Yin yoga and Facia Flow Pilates. This year we are adding Slow Mindful Yoga and Woman’s Wellbeing to the Workshop series. We run these workshops/classes, usually on Friday evenings. The perfect way to unwind at the end of a busy week!

All events & workshops are payable in advance via our book and buy page.
Upcoming Workshops & Events
Womens Wellbeing how to Embrace, Empower and Enjoy Midlife, with the help of movement & relaxation techniques. This workshop is specifically tailored to support your health and wellbeing though out midlife and beyond. Both the workshop and the weekly course are also available for private/corporate groups and can be brought to your location, if required. Please contact us to discuss details.
As a woman approaches midlife there are many challenges to contend with not least career development and family life (young children, teenagers and or older relatives). Add to that mix a range of peri-menopause symptoms and things can get very complicated very quickly.
We are here to support you through this transition with a variety of movement including elements of pilates and yoga, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques. We include tips and information on a range topics from bone health to brain fog, pelvic floor exercises and the benefits of deep relaxation for both mind and body. If you missed this course earlier earlier in 2022 get in touch. Elements of this course will be available as a workshop on Friday 22nd Sept 2023 we are happy to discuss your needs and we are keeping a list of expressions of interest in either the course or a workshop.

Yin Yoga is a deeply relaxing, at times challenging, style of yoga which combines deep stretches with long holds to help you release deep held tension. It facilitates greater flexibility at the pace of the student, reducing risk of injury, working deep into the layers of facia. Yin Yoga is the perfect anti-dote to the fast pace of life and more active persuits and activities. We supply all props and mats needed in the studio but if you prefer to bring your own mat thats fine.

- Kundalini yoga workshop Friday 29th Sept2023 at 7.00pm. This workshop is a combination of breath, movement, and sound. Kundalini yoga is an uplifting practice that focuses on breath and asana (a.k.a. physical postures) along with chanting, meditation, and singing. It differs from other forms of yoga in so far as the asana are often practiced in repetition for a pretty lengthy period of time and move a lot of energy around in your body. The ultimate goal of Kundalini is to increase your self-awareness by silencing your mind and unblocking your chakras so that your vital energy can flow freely.

Fascia Flow Workshop
Try this full body facia flow incorporating Pilates. This 90 minute workshop will gently release tension in the body, rehydrate the muscles and regulate the autonomic nervous system. The facia forms the largest system in the body as it is the system that touches all other systems.
Facia is a complex network of connective tissue that extends continuously from your head to your toes. This web of tissue surrounds and protects every other tissue and organ of the body. Facia is a fibrous tissue that is extremely strong but also very flexible. Healthy facia is relaxed and can stretch and move without restriction. However, following physical trauma and inflammation (from sports injury, fall, car accident, repetitive stress etc) the facia loses its pliability. It becomes tightly restricted and a source of tension to the rest of the body.
