Hey lovely,
October comes with cooler air and cloudy sunsets, we may be excited for halloween or the end of year celebrations, we may be welcoming in the season of warmer nights and hibernating. Im definitely a hibernator and have already found myself sleepy on an afternoon, my body wants to rest more and my yoga practice has slowed down to deep Yin practices with lots of cushions to prop me up!
I have lovely workshops to share with you this month and like last month, they're early in the month to set us up with a means to continue with what we share together. This month we are going to be exploring the solar plexus, the centre of warmth, inner drive & action. Something we will all definitely benefit from if hibernation mode always resonates. We dont need to constantly work hard, sweat or even punish ourselves to get the benefit of our practice, if anything we soon realise that we can change our practice to suit our needs and with such a concept in mind you'll notice I teach seasonally. Each season our constitution changes, as does our motivation, energy and emotional needs.
Its okay to slow down, its okay to loose your 'oumph', its okay to take time out. Yoga is a practice that allows us to show up where we're at and be okay with it. Im here to guide you through tools, techniques, postures & breath work that allow you to feel more confident in your own decision making, to create healthy boundaries & to give yourself permission to rest.
Lets celebrate finding ourselves & giving ourselves permission to pause this month.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Here are the upcoming events for this month and they're sooner rather than later, so soon they are THIS WEEKEND! Myofascial is definitely one to attend if you want to learn new techniques in which you can release tension & pain in the body and gain flexibility quicker. Its Fascinating and I cannot wait to share this workshop with you!
They are beautiful cosy practices that really help us to create more of a self care routine in our day to day, they are going to be incredibly soothing for the nervous system and the perfect reset as we move towards the last half of the year. Enjoy a mix of my offerings all rolled into these specific sessions, you will soon fall in love with yoga and may it be a welcome place that always helps you to find balance.

All workshops are deeper immersions with more of a personal touch, they really give you an opportunity to delve into the realms of self care and personal development. You don't need any experience, you don't need to do yoga, you just need a little spark of curiosity that wants to help you better yourself, improve your health and wellbeing, to gain a clearer mind and to live a more fulfilling life. I promise you wont be disappointed, and maybe, just maybe, after coming to one you may feel so much better within yourself.
