Transitions - A Yoga workshop celebrating the changing seasons
Join me in September, at Shustoke Village Hall, to celebrate the changing seasons from summer to autumn.
In this workshop we will explore fluid and creative Yoga movement creating an evenness and balance in the body. Some Qigong energy building techniques to steady us will also be incorporated into the practice as well as breath awareness practices and relaxation.
The autumn equinox is a time when day and night are almost equal and marks the transition from summer to autumn as the sun is positioned above the equator.
Can we find a balance and eveness in our self around this time - any transitions or change can be challenging so it’s important to find steadiness in our body and ease in our mind.
Fancy it? Come along and treat yourself to a couple of hours purely for you.
Sunday 22nd September 10am - 12 Midday.
Time for a cuppa and a cake afterwards with friends.

February news
As we pass imbolc we see the stirings of spring start to appear around us. A slight change occurs and even though winter still has surprises for us there is the enrgy of growth and a lighter feel to our days.
Our Yoga sessions over the next few weeks will re-set with a ”back to basics” theme. Choosing asana (posture) each session and really building the foundations to explore our chosen posture, we will learn about the meaning of the asana, variations, alignment and how it might effect or direct our energy. Requests taken too!
Our Qigong sessions will be exploring some wonderful dragon forms as we move into the Chinese/Lunar new year. This year is a wood dragon year - change and growth may be ahead. Can we stay kind, compassionate and vast like the wood dragon? Let’s give it a go.
Our early bird price for the June weekend retreat is avilable through February - just a couple of spots left so don’t delay.
Ayurvedic massage treatments and 1:1 sessions are available every Wednesday daytime with me near Tamworth.

Welcome 2024! January classes and treatments with Denise
The new year is here and as always it’s a great time to start (or continue) to take care of your Self.
We are certainly in winter and yes, we need to make the time to rest and rejuvenate. But also we need to keep our movement and mobility flowing, removing any stagnation that can accumulate as we move into Kapha season in Ayurveda (and water phase in Qigong).
All of our classes this season will focus on a real balance of movement and rest - from gentle strength building flows in our Yoga classes through to nourishing kidney health in our Monday and Tuesday Qigong.
Come along, bring a friend or family member - it’s good to keep connecting this time of year.
Afternoon sessions 75 minutes are £8
Evening sessions 90 mins are £9.
No need to book unless you want to pay card - just turn up with a mat.

Bring your blankets and extra layers so that you can really enjoy some of the juicy relaxations through December.
