Feedback from last sessions ...
"Post the session, I felt lighter and had a spring in my step which provided some much needed energy for the weekend":) CG
"The class provided a much needed opportunity to get away from the madding crowd on a Friday evening & do something completely different. Yoga Nidra & chanting is a great way to sign off a busy week. Highly recommend!" Catherine
‘By the fireside SONG CIRCLE’ is the inspiration for these new, monthly FRIDAY SESSIONS ~ a perfect combo to keep both your heart & soul lifted💫, your immune defences firing💥 & deeply nurtured as we move into the colder days & longer darkening evenings🌚🌙.
No previous experience or yoga gear needed ~ mats, cozy cushions, bolsters & blankets provided.
We all know music lifts our heart 💓 & shifts our mood, the vibrations helping us to release tension & held emotions, triggering those ‘feel good vibes’. Sounding/voicing ourselves is like an inner massage & allows fuller exhalation with all the ensuing positive benefits, making space for the new, revitalising breath.
And there’s nothing like joining our voices together to feel connected & joyful ~ it's the best antidote to any Winter Blues !
And a note here, we all have a voice – these sessions are about kindly exploring together without judgment ~ it’s a perfect place to come & let go of that ‘I can’t sing’ inner voice & just give it a try !
The sessions will differ each month, but include gentle warm ups (body & throat), some simple call/response ancient Mantra & their meaning both in Sanskrit & English, as well as some fun songs ~ Then just rest back & enjoy listening to LIVE music leading you into a deeply restorative guided relaxation, Yoga Nidra ~ How does that sound? :)
‘It was a pleasure to take part. I loved the way you structured the experience & the guitar & singing were sublime.’ Clare
Looking forward to sharing more musical magic💫 & deep relaxation with you at our next SONG CIRCLE & YOGA NIDRA Session ! 🙏💚

Awaken out of winter hibernation & bring a spring to your step! Join to salute the Spring sunshine & breath prana throughout your whole being, livening up your inner-body zest ! We'll incluce heart opening backbends to help energize & revitalize, & twists to help detoxify sleepy sluggish organs & strengthen metabolic fire!
A little about the layout of the day… we'll start with a more dynamic morning session focussing on asana & awakening pranayama practices. After a shared light lunch, we'll continue delving a little deeper, including meditation practices which could be a stepping stone to home practice if you so wish. We'll round off the day with a deeply restorative guided Yoga Nidra (‘yoga sleep’).
This is a day for all to come & explore, for us to share our yoga practice in more depth, to unravel specific postures/practices, to question, discover, play & maybe challenge & stretch our boundaries a little further... but most of all to enjoy & relax together in the beautiful environment of Siobhan Davies Studios !
Open to all levels - for beginners, a perfect introduction & for existing yogis, an opportunity to deepen & boost your practice.
~ Please bring healthy light vegetarian snack to share ~
~ Miso soup, teas & afternoon snacks will be provided ~

Feedback from past workshops:
"I felt so grounded & fortified after the workshop last year, & this feeling carried through into the whole of my wintertime. I was surprised by how peaceful, gentle & calming the day was & I managed to avoid having any colds all season. That's a first for me!" Sarah Jane
"A whole day workshop sounds quite daunting but I took the plunge and have been keen on them ever since, perfect for detox and really sets up a relaxing weekend. The day is split into 3 sessions with the middle session working in depth on a few poses, so you have more time to practice and try different things (and sometimes get a breakthrough on some tricky bits you never thought you could try, but only if you feel energetic). And the final session is a completely chilled out yoga sleep, which is a led relaxation and just manages to unwind every bit of tension from the week gone by. Also get to meet lovely people and try Belle's v tasty flapjacks!! Would definitely book on another one" Zoe
~ Looking forward to a joyful day together ! ~
