Join Julia Osbeck and myself for a two hour yoga workshop focusing on releasing tension from the inner and outer hips. Connected to the second chakra and often an area where we store deeply repressed emotions, the hips can also get very tight due to prolonged sitting on chairs. We will use a combination of warming vinyasa flowing movements to fire up the agni, bring heat and energy flow to this area, followed by longer held yin postures to help create extra space in the hips. We will complete the workshop with a lovely relaxation.

Booking is essential, please contact me at [email protected] to reserve your space.

 

Where? Dean Row Village Hall, Browns Lane, Wilmslow. SK9 2BR

How much?  £15

When? 11.30-1.30pm Sunday 8th June

Bring your yoga mat, a blanket and a yoga block (optional)

 

 

Winter Yoga Weekend at Fawcett Mill Fields

Friday 7 November- Sunday 9 November
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.
