Forthcoming Courses

Women Only Yoga Classes: Tuesday 11.45 - 1pm


6 week course @ £27 per course;
£6 drop-in may be possible, contact Lou to check
New 6 week course starts 28th Feb 2012

These courses create a space for women to practice together with ease; to feel more in touch with their bodies and steadier in their mind. The class is steadily paced, emphasising breath & awareness, mobilising & strengthening the spine and focussing the mind. It will help you to feel stronger and more relaxed in your body; calmer and more aware of what is happening in your mind.

It is a point in the week to practice bringing your mind into the present moment, with your body with your breath; it is an opportunity to stop the mind from rushing around, constantly replaying past events and rehearsing for future senarios. It is time for you to catch up with yourself, take stock of how you are and let yourself just be... Come and join us, you deserve it!

It is suitable for women of all ages and abilities; provided you are able to climb the stairs to gain access to the studio.
