Weekly classes on Thursdays
Dates - 5th Nov, 12th Nov, 19th Nov. 26 Nov, 3rd Dec and 10th Dec
These holistic seasonal yoga classes will explore the descent into Autumn and Winter and how this affects our wellbeing. After the expansive energy of summer, nature is asking us to begin to slow down; to turn inwards and to return home to our bodies.
Expect a blend of gentle movement, breath, meditation and restful practices inspired by the teachings of Autumn. If summer has left you feeling tired and scattered, these sessions are a soft landing for you to come back home - ground into the earth of your bodies, bathe in the wisdom of your breath, rediscover who you really are beneath all the layers. Trauma-informed, suitable for all ages and abilities - come as you are.
Classes cost £12/class. First select the quantity of classes you want to attend 1-6. Then at checkout use the form to select dates and add your information. You can also pay-it-forward buy buying a class for someone else in need as a donation - follow this link for more.

Our Restorative Yoga classes at Space to Breathe offer a gentle, nurturing space to slow down, breathe, rest and reconnect - creating a little pause from a world that constantly asks us to do more.
Rest is a natural ability we have from birth, but life's challenges can make it hard to access this inner sense of peace. For those of us who have faced trauma, the nervous system may remain in a state of heightened alertness, complicating the process of relaxation further.
In our group sessions, you can look forward to being part of a welcoming and understanding group of a maximum of eight students, in a safe, nurturing environment with expert instruction to help you access the therapeutic benefits of deep rest.
Classes cost £12/class. First select the quantity of classes you want to attend 1-4. Then at checkout use the form to select dates and add your information. You can also pay-it-forward buy buying a class for someone else in need as a donation - follow this link for more.
