Spring through to Summer
Spring Series to take you into Summer is here.
This season is about not burning out.
Life can become a little like a dense forest — so much coming at us, so much to do, think about, carry and respond to.
Perhaps this one hour a week is your opportunity to clear a little space.
To step out of the noise and into a clearing.
And in that clearing, we practise stillness, receptivity and kindness.
Not pushing.
Not fixing.
Not trying to become anything else.
Just becoming quiet enough to notice what is already there.
Because stillness brings clarity.
And sometimes, when we stop trying so hard to find the way forward, we can finally see the path.
YIN AND SOUND BATH
🎄 End-of-Year Christmas Bliss ✨
Yin & Sound Bath — 90 Minutes of Deep Rest & Restoration
Monday 14th December | 7:00–8:30pm
Please arrive by 6:45pm to get yourself settled.
Before the Christmas madness takes over, how about giving yourself 90 minutes to do absolutely NOTHING?
Well, almost nothing. 😉
Join us for a beautiful evening combining the deep, gentle stretches of Yin yoga with the soothing vibrations of a sound bath.
We'll begin with a couple of deeper Yin shapes to help stretch out some of those "issues in our tissues", before gradually moving into longer-held, restorative shapes.
And when I say restorative, I mean the full works!
Bolsters, blocks, pillows, blankets, eye pillows… quite possibly enough props to build yourself a small fort! 😂
The idea is to support your body so completely that your muscles can begin to soften, your breathing can settle, and you can simply let go.
There'll be gentle massage, optional hands-on assists and very little talking from me.
Yes, you read that correctly. A Christmas miracle! 😂
✨ The Science of Sound & Stillness
Here's where things get rather fascinating…
Our bodies are made up of approximately 60% water, and sound is a form of mechanical energy that travels through vibrations.
Sound waves travel through air, water and the tissues of our bodies. Different tissues transmit these vibrations in different ways, which helps explain why we can sometimes feel sound as well as hear it.
During a sound bath, instruments such as singing bowls and other resonant instruments create layers of tones and vibrations, offering the mind something gentle to focus on.
Research into sound-based meditation is still developing, but early studies suggest that singing bowl sessions may help reduce feelings of tension and anxiety and encourage relaxation.
And then there's the Yin.
Longer-held, supported shapes give us an opportunity to slow down, notice our breathing and reduce the constant stream of stimulation we experience throughout the day.
Gentle movement, comfortable stillness and slow breathing can all support the body's relaxation response.
Combine this with the immersive sounds of a sound bath, and we create a lovely environment for both body and mind to unwind.
It's not about forcing yourself to relax.
It's about creating the conditions where relaxation becomes a little easier.
💜 A Little Less Doing. A Little More Receiving.
No experience necessary. No complicated shapes to master. And absolutely no need to touch your toes!
Just come as you are.
Let the props support you, the sounds surround you and give yourself permission to stop doing for a little while.
Because sometimes the best Christmas gift we can give ourselves is a little time to simply BE.
Rest to Rise - Mash up of the seasons changing.
7 weeks of Rest to Rise & Stillness to Bloom.
Make up sessions available in final week. Sept 21 & 24.
This series is support the journey from deep winter into the energy time of spring.
Walking alongside nature.
Springtime — a season of awakening.
A gentle stirring after the quiet of winter,
when the earth softens, breathes, and stretches toward the sun.
It is a time to set intentions,
to plant seeds within and without,
to honor the cycles of life as they unfold.
The days grow longer, the air lighter,
and everywhere there is movement —
buds reaching, rivers flowing, hearts opening.
Spring invites us to step fully into life,
to notice what is emerging,
to nurture what we wish to grow,
and to release what no longer serves us.
It is a time for courage and curiosity,
for gentle beginnings,
for listening to the quiet call of the soul
and following it with trust.
Spring whispers:
“Awaken. Move. Grow. Bloom. Be alive.”

WINTER BREAK
How do you intend to move through Winter this year?
We are all different, and we all require different things.
For me, right now, I need to travel.
I’m returning to the continent of my childhood — Africa.
Reconnecting with this beautiful land stirs something deep within me,
awakening a yearning to explore, to roam, to feel fully alive as an adult.
I will also be visiting my family in the UK,
gathering the quiet joys of home, connection, and belonging.
Winter, for me, will be a journey of reconnection —
to land, to roots, to family, and to the restless, alive spirit within.
Autumn Classes
Autumn is such a beautiful time —
a season for slowing down and reflecting,
for pausing… and noticing.
This autumn 2026, we will lay down a foundation
for deep listening,
for softening,
for letting go.
Six weeks of Yin classes,
gently carrying us through the season
and taking us to the end of May 🍂
Holiday Break
What is life about for you?
For me, right now, life is about balance —
the gentle weaving of work and rest.
I’m a gypsy at heart; it’s in my blood.
A quiet longing for freedom, movement,
for listening to the subtle call of the soul.
Gathering wisdom through learning, through travel,
through reconnection —
to family, to community, to fellow travellers.
With this small pause from Yin classes,
may you fill the space you’ve created
with something that truly calls to you.
A new language.
An instrument.
Meditation.
Time with those you love.
A reconnection long overdue.
Wherever this time takes you,
try not to lose it in the bottomless well of scrolling
or the hum of endless Netflix.
And if you do watch something,
let it be awe-inspiring —
something that stirs your heart,
awakens your curiosity,
and reminds you of what lights you up ✨

Annual Class Calendar
“Back to silence. Back to simplicity. Back to self.
There is more to life than the external world.
There is an entire inner universe to explore—mysterious, vast, and full of wisdom if you let yourself be still enough to hear it.
So take a breath.
Be slow.
Be soft.
Be with yourself”
