Hey lovely,
September is here! I don't know about you but I actually feel some sort of internal relief?! Theres a big sense of calm now we come to the end of the six week holidays and its time to find our way through the later half of the year. As the leaves start to turn, we can enjoy a contrast of cool & warm days, soak up beautiful sunsets and embrace the concept of change a little easier. Ive always been a chameleon growing up and love change (probably a bit to much) I still love to create, be practical, up skill and learn, I hope that through this month together we can enjoy new practices & postures that not only in-still peace of mind but also maintain that healthy fire and curiosity in our hearts & bellies!
Before we go head first into September I do think its important to reflect on the lessons of last month, what have you learnt? How have you felt you have grown? What came and swept you off track? Everything that happens in life can come as means of refining and rebuilding, so next time something throws a spanner in the works, let it be a lesson that can help you learn, gain strength & move forwards with more awareness.
September & autumn bring the season of change, the more accepting we can be that change is inevitable, we will feel less & less resistance.
I have to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined me outdoors throughout the sunny months, for the most gorgeous family yoga sessions at Arley Arboretum, evening sunset classes at Bells Farm & last but certainly not least the absolutely stunning Yoga & sound bath sessions within the glorious orangery at Hopton Court. I feel so honoured to be able to share what I love at these venues & cannot thank them enough for their encouragement & support!
Heres to next year! The outdoor sessions have ended for this year and we start to retreat into indoor spaces that are decorated like cosy cocoons to help you rest, read on for whats coming this month...

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.
You can find each individual workshop details and booking information on the classes & workshops page, if you have any questions or worries please feel free to get in touch.
INNER BEAUTY WORKSHOP
THIS SATURDAY
Last in person one for the year!
These workshops are very popular and are a lovely opportunity to inspire your skin care routine in a more natural way. Sharing simple and effective beauty tips that cost nothing and are product-less.
Learn to glow from the inside out, learn to heal your body with the touch of your own hands. Within this workshop you will learn natural skincare techniques that will give your skin a healthy glow, promote tone & circulation and can also relax and regulate the nervous system. You will learn Guasha techniques, facial reflexology points and myofascial release for the upper back & chest. By learning to release the neck it can create an anti-sag effect on the face. Release headaches, tension, grinding teeth. Beautify and tone the skin to reduce lines and wrinkles.
+ Learn a Dien Chan face map sequence to balance the hormones & promote healthy hair & skin. This is a acupressure point sequence which correlates to the internal organs (very interesting!)
+ Enjoy Guasha techniques to boost circulation to the face & neck, aiding lymph drainage and toning.

Food for the heart!
September brings cooler air and warmer appetite for comfort foods, we have already been making sweet potato brownies and they are a huge boost in vitamins but also a healthy treat! These brownies are dense, firm, moist and incredibly filling and don't have the overpowering 'choc' attack like many brownies do, thank me later!
