Spring is in the air and changes are afoot!

By | Blog | No Comments

If you come to my Pilates or Yoga classes you probably already know that I’m about to up-sticks to Sheffield! From mid- March I will be available to teach in Sheffield on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and will be happy to cover Pilates or Yoga classes and organise one-to-one sessions there.

However, I’ll still be teaching in Manchester Mondays and Tuesdays, which means my Monday classes will stay the same and my current Wednesday yoga class in Didsbury will move to Tuesday evenings from April.

I’ll also soon be announcing a Spring intensive half day yoga workshop with my friend and colleague Julia Osbeck.

In addition there are still places on the July and October Yoga weekends in the Lake District, as well as places on the September Yoga retreat in Italy. Check out the events page for more details and I hope to see you soon at a class, workshop or on retreat!

Namaste,

Leonie

storms!

Hi there,

due to the stormy and rather dangerous driving conditions tonight Tara and I have decided it is best to cancel tonight’s Yoga class at Cavendish School Didsbury.

Stay inside and safe and I hope to see you next week.

Pilates at The Christie

If you are a member of staff at The Christie Hospital in Withington, you have a chance to tone up and stretch before home time on a Monday. I’m teaching in the Education Suite for a maximum of 10 people at a time on a short course basis. Let me know if you fancy joining us – the next course will begin in January 2014.

 

 

 

 

2014 Lake District Yoga Weekends

By | Events | No Comments

This post was for retreats in 2014. For up to date information on upcoming retreats and events please see my events page.

Spring, Summer and Autumn 2014 Lake District Yoga Weekends

Friday, 28th February – Sunday 2nd March – FULLY BOOKED!
Friday 11th July – Sunday 13th July – FULLY BOOKED!
Friday 10th October – Sunday 12th October – FULLY BOOKED!
Fawcett Mill Fields – Penrith

The weekend will consist of a meditation and yoga session each morning. There will be a choice of a gentle Hatha class with Leonie or a more challenging Jivamukti (yoga flow) class with Tara.

There will be an opportunity on Saturday afternoon to get out and explore the beautiful countryside on a lovely long walk, where we pass ancient stone monuments and an Andy Goldsworthy sculpture.

There will be a much-needed deep relaxation and light massage session after the walk. Throughout the weekend there will be plenty of homemade food to enjoy. Feel free to bring a bottle of wine, put your feet up and relax in the peaceful surroundings with good company.

There is also a four-person sauna for that post yoga sweat, and a couple of sitting rooms with open log fires for rest and relaxation.

Booking and payment 

The full price of each weekend retreat is £205. A non-refundable deposit of £50 will be required three months in advance of your chosen weekend/s to secure your place on the workshop, with the balance due six weeks in advance of the weekend.

Early bird price £195 if booked and paid in full by three months prior to each weekend. 

The price includes accommodation for two nights, all yoga sessions and meals. Students who book early will get the option to reserve a room of their choice.

**Special rates**

Book two weekends at the price of £350 – a saving of £60
Book three weekends at the price of £515 – a saving of £100

Timetable update

By | Blog | No Comments

There have been a few changes to the timetable recently, so here is a summary!

The Monday morning Fallowfield Pilates class now begins at the slightly earlier time of 10.15am.

I have decided to close the drop-in Pilates class on Thursday mornings in Chorlton but am happy to run it again on a block-booking 8 week course term – please email me at [email protected] if you would be interested in signing up to this course.

After the success of the first Pilates course for staff at The Christie Hospital, I will be running a second course later in October and hope to run two classes a week on Mondays and Wednesdays. Yay!

There are also now two hot yoga classes to choose from at Lotus Five studios in Wilmslow on Tuesday evenings.

The Friday lunchtime yoga course in Gatley will be ongoing on a term by term basis, so you can sign up in advance by contacting Vered Hofton at Tatton House Studios (it works out at £6.50 per class).

Thanks

Leonie

 

p.s. Just a reminder that some classes won’t be on next week only as I’m away teaching in Italy from Sept 29-6 Oct.
Affected classes include Fallowfield Union Chapel and Hazel Grove classes. Please check with Lotus Five also to see if they have cover for Tuesday’s hot yoga class next week. The evening classes at Cavendish Rd School in Didsbury will still be on, with cover instructors including Tara who will be covering Wednesday night’s yoga, to give you a bit more of a challenge! :)
