Vin to Yin (Andrea)

Like a bit of variety? This is a comprehensive class which brings 4 Yoga types into one for you to leave with no stone unturned. Making our way from Yang through to Yin, we begin our practice with a rhythmic and more energetic Vinyasa flow which slows down mid way, moving through more even paced Hatha asanas and into static, healing, Yin holds. Ending with a Yoga Nidra to wind down for a relaxed evening at home, feeling fully nourished.

Children's crochet: make a basket Hosts: Val Riddiough and Shirley Mawhinney Time: 2pm - 4pm Price: £15 This workshop is for children who are aged 8+.

This class is for children who are beginners to crochet and for those who can already crochet. They will be taught how to make a basket. We will adapt the style to suit their ability so everyone will go home with something that they can use. They will learn skills which will help them to never be bored in their summer holiday. Examples of baskets will be displayed for inspiration. All materials will be provided at the class. If your child already has crochet hooks and yarn please feel free to bring them along. What We Need From You: Your name, email address and telephone number, your child's name. Please also make us aware of any disabilities, special requirements or anything you need us to be mindful of when teaching your child.

Hatha (Andrea)

A slower paced style which is appropriate for all levels of practitioners, including beginners, to de-stress and find calm. Each pose in Hatha is taken on its own and held for a few breaths, allowing for a more in depth examination of the asana, deeper flexibility and more mindfulness. A good practice for you to learn about your body in each pose, gaining strength and focus, which can be a great stepping stone to a Vinyasa practice.

Sound Bath (Andrea)

Melting into the therapeutic waves of a sound bath using different instruments including crystal singing bowls & drums. The instruments are all tuned to different frequencies and when played the vibrations ripple through the air and through your physical body helping to release tensions we hold in our organs, muscles and fascia. Warmth and comfort is key, feel free to bring any extra pillows and blankets to be extra cosy. ** Please notify us of any medical concerns/injuries prior to the event. For individuals with severe, unmanaged PTSD, epilepsy, or pacemakers, or in pregnancy, it is advised to consult a professional before attending, as strong sound vibrations could be triggering or physically affecting.
