Christmas workshop and market with Denise at Shustoke Village Hall
Join us at Shustoke village hall for our Christmas gathering on Sunday 19th December 10am - 12 Midday.
It's been another year of change and it's important to have a chance to reflect and spend time with others. This 2 hour workshop will focus on the different layers of Self (Koshas) and how when we can notice fully the physical, energetic, emotional and wisdom aspects of ourself we can start to trust and move through challenges with an open heart and mind.
Prana flow-inspired movement, breath work , intention, meditation, relaxation and a chance to see and practice with friends.
Each year we donate to Birmingham Christmas Shelter and this year after our workshop we can enjoy a small Xmas market - 12-1pm - with handmade gifts from some of our regulars. Stay for a cuppa and a cake (feel free to bring something to share) with any donations going to Birmingham Christmas Shelter.

Classes and Playlists for week Monday 11th - Friday 15th Oct - The Magic of Mudra
A new theme calls us this month as all classes resume - The Magic of Mudra!
Mudras are mainly seen as positions that we make with our hands that encourage, guide and seal energy in certain parts of the body, although in classical Hatha Yoga we also see mudra practices with the feet, eyes and whole body. Directing the Prana/Qi/energy/awareness with intention can also bring about different states in our mind and emotional body.
This week we look at Mudra which can have a grounding and stabilising effect on us - ideal as we move through Autumn. Join us in-person in Castle Bromwich and Shustoke, via Zoom in your own space. Practices will also be uploaded each week to our on-demand library.
