Pause & Breathe CIC

Really excited to be part of this at The Yoga Social next Saturday. We're usually away on retreat, so have never made it before, but we're heading off a little later this year.

I'd love to see some of our community there too - so grab a ticket, and I'll see you next Saturday xx

Have you booked your ticket yet?

“Thank you for a truly wonderfully relaxing and unique experience in an equally unique setting. I was in bed for 8pm and slept.”

This lovely feedback came from someone who joined us at a previous Salt Caves retreat.

This autumn, we’re returning for another afternoon of rest and relaxation in this wonderfully atmospheric setting. There’s something about stepping away from everyday life and into the stillness of the caves that helps the body begin to soften and settle.

Our Autumnal Afternoon Retreat offers time to pause, breathe and receive some much-needed rest as the season begins to change. If life has felt busy recently, perhaps this could be the space you’ve been needing.

One of my favourite parts of retreat happens before breakfast.

We gather for a morning practice—sometimes meditation, sometimes Qi Gong—sometimes in our pajamas still. We stay in silence until breakfast.

There's something beautiful about not needing to make conversation straight away. Everyone gets to wake up in their own way. We're not immediately in with the small talk - we can really take our time to settle into the day.

This was our morning view one retreat morning on the Isle of Mull. I often take a cuppa outside before the morning practice and watch the day unfold.

It could be your morning view too if you come along to my Walking Retreat in May 2027 - held with Tony from

We have a new Community Yoga block starting on Monday 14th September 10-11am in our Bo'ness centre.

Join Ali from Ali’s Yoga for a welcoming one-hour yoga class, focusing on gentle movement, accessibility, and mindful practice.

Don't worry if you haven't practiced yoga before, this is an inclusive class, with modifications and adaptations offered to support different mobilities and abilities.

Ali works hard to create a welcoming space, where participants feel comfortable and supported.

These classes are subsidised, and so are just £5 to attend, with a discount for a block (one session is half price).

How often do you give yourself a whole evening to rest?

Join me and Jen on Friday 11th September for 90 minutes of movement, stillness and deep relaxation.

We’ll begin with some somatic movement, allowing the body to unwind from the week, before settling into supported restorative postures. I’ll then guide you through Yoga Nidra—a deeply restful practice where there is nothing to achieve and nowhere else you need to be.

Once we come down onto the mat, we’ll stay there for the rest of the evening, so you won’t need to keep moving between standing and lying down. You’re welcome whether you have experience of these practices or are trying them for the first time.

Friday 11th September
7–8.30pm
The Place to Pause & Breathe, Bonnybridge

Come and give yourself some time to pause, breathe and be supported.

Our latest newsletter celebrates the summer sessions we've been able to have in our garden - big thanks to our gardening group volunteers for all their hard work to make this a lovely place to be.

I share a little about our pricing structure - what the different choices mean, and how you can access our sessions even when finances are low. It's really important to us to be financially accessible: wellbeing should be for everyone.

I also ask you what you'd like to see more of at Pause & Breathe, share a little about something new coming in October and give a little more detail about next year's retreats - this feels like a good time to start planning ahead.
