  • Feldenkrais Workshop with Anne Robertson – Sunday 21 April 2-5pm – Transitions Cost £40 or £35 concession (in advance), £45/£40 (on the day). Moving Easily Through Life — Throughout our lives we are in a constantly changing relationship to gravity. Anything that requires us to move in space is a transition. As we age this may be a source of anxiety, but it need not be. This workshop will explore and promote awareness and agility as the basis for lifelong ease. Please book with Anne annerobbo18@gmail.com tel: 07951728862. More information about what Feldenkrais is – Feldenkrais Method
  • Yoga Workshop with Christine Howitt – Exploring Spirals and Lateral Movement – Saturday 27 April 10am-1pm In our daily lives, so often our movement is limited, and as a result our movement potential is reduced. This workshop is a chance to explore how moving in the lateral plane as well as exploring spirals profoundly releases the spine and opens up new possibilities in movement. For those who have 3 months yoga experience with Christine or equivalent. Cost £40, payable by bank transfer. Contact Christine at christinehowittyoga@gmail.com
  • People’s circle with Darleen Klug – Saturday 27 April 3-5pm This is an event for people (of any identity) to come together in a safer space where they can show up for themselves and take away or leave what’s needed. We will journal, meditate, pull oracle cards, share (as you wish), move our bodies, drink tea (with a sweet treat!) and move through a powerful visualisation. £29 per person (plus booking fee, but see Note on event description on EventBrite).

Yoga & Movement Teachers

All our Teachers are fully trained with a high degree of continued professional development. Find out more about the Yoga Teachers and Movement Teachers.

What kind of Yoga?

We teach dynamic flow sequences harmonising breath and movement which build strength, vitality and fluidity. This is balanced by a quiet yin style yoga practice which cultivates relaxation and stillness. We limit class size to optimise personal attention. In a yoga class you will learn about the core movement principles that underpin the practice of yoga and experience how these develop strength in the body.
