The Autumn leaves are starting to fall and can you feel a change in the air? The Autumn season is a time of transition, everything is about to change, the daylight hours, the temperatures, and the general feeling in the air. Following the full heat and energy of Summer, self-care is even more important to keep ourselves in good health.

Join me if you can for a half day seasonal yoga workshop to immerse yourself fully into the rhythm, spirit and mood of the Autumn season. A time of year to let go of the dead wood and make room for the new, the falling leaves are about to show us how beautiful it is to let things go. Change can be beautiful, if you embrace it with an open heart.

The workshop will be two hours of creative restoring yoga sequences, breathing practices, inspiring yoga philosophy, poetry, soulful music, Ayurvedic wisdom, meditation and deep relaxation. The workshop will help you to bring about a sense of balance energetically, it will encourage you to slow down, take time to rest and reflect, and inspire you to align yourself with the energy and spirit of Autumn, when everything begins to slowly turn inward. It is two hours of pure self-care and nourishment, it is extremely stilling and quietening.

I have decided to make the most of the bell tent, or Belle as I call her, and I am holding two outdoor Autumn Equinox Yoga Workshops on the 13th and 19th September, and if any of you prefer an indoor venue, I will be holding the same event at the usual location, the beautiful Village Hall at Stanton Under Bardon on the 4th October. The bell tent events will be from 2pm - 4pm and the Village Hall event will be 10am - Noon. The next two weekends are going to be sunny and warm, so I am so excited to be able to hold the Autumn Workshop outside for once, it will enable an even deeper connection with the energy of the Autumn season.

The address of the Village Hall, is Stanton Under Bardon Village Hall, St John Cole Crescent, LE67 9AE. The bell tent is located in woodland between Ashby and Moira, and once you have booked in, I will give the full details of where it is, but it is really easy to find.

The cost of the workshop is £32 and once you have made payment, your space will be reserved. There are 10 spaces within the bell tent and 30 spaces at the Village Hall. If you would like a space, please message me and I will give you details as to how to book in.

I hope that you will be able to join me for this memorable, soulful seasonal event. Some of my yogis have been coming to these workshops since I first started teaching them many years ago, it has become almost like a tradition that we share to mark the changing of the seasons and I absolutely love teaching these sessions.

From this to this. ♥️♥️♥️

I'll never forget this Summer. I wasn't sure if it would work, I remember thinking, well if no one comes, at least I've had a great time working in the woods, and I've got an amazing tent to go camping in!

To all the yogis who have come so far, I think 70 people have been, thank you. ♥️🙏🌳🧘

Next weekend, I'm considering holding an Autumn Equinox Yoga Workshop, Sunday is looking sunny. ☀️♥️

☀️ Sunset Yoga ☀️

Practising yoga in a woodland has so many benefits both physically and mentally, but to practise it as the sun is setting takes it to a deeper level.

As we practised, I encouraged everyone to connect with the natural world, including the sun, as we often take it for granted, burning bright above us everyday. The sun's power is like a natural medicine, as sunlight boosts our immunity, it helps our bone density, it increases our vitamin D, and increases serotonin production. When we watch a sunset or sunrise or let ourselves feel a part of a sunset or sunrise, it can create a feeling of awe, taking our attention away from our everyday worries and troubles, and bringing our thoughts into the present moment. When we experience a sunset, the fading light helps our circadian rhythm or wake/sleep cycle to function more effectively. As the sun wanes, our pineal gland begins to produce more melatonin and reduces stress hormones, namely cortisol, so the sun setting helps to prepare our mind and body for sleep.

The yoga sequencing, the breathing practises, the meditation and relaxation encouraged a deep connection with the natural world. Our energy felt in harmony with the waning Sun as we gradually wound down for the meditation and relaxation. Everyone commented that they could quite easily have fallen asleep for the night there and then. Towards the end of the session, as dusk fell, one of my yogis saw an owl fly over the bell tent. It was another magical, memorable evening down in the woods. Thank you. 🙏🌳

I'm bored doing my book keeping, I saw this flying around on social media and gave it a whirl. I'm determined to be able to keep doing it until I'm 70! 🤞🤞🤞♥️ Let me know how you get on, but don't try it if you have knee/hip pain, problems or issues. 😘

☀️🌿🌿Sunset Yoga In A Bell Tent, Between Ashby and Moira, Next Week 🌿🌿☀️

Dates: Tuesday 1st, Saturday 5th September
Time: 6.15pm - 7.30pm
Cost: £15
What to bring: Yoga mat and blanket

There are so many benefits to feeling a part of the sun waning and setting. I will share with you, as we practise together, the powerful effects of the sun setting, and how it helps our daily rhythm, and can help to induce relaxation and sleep towards the end of the day. By practising yoga during the golden hour, we can meet ourselves with softness and use the natural waning sunlight to sync our circadian rhythm (internal body clock) and regulate our nervous system.

What to anticipate:

🌿 Nature inspiration
🌿 Comfort, relaxation, softness
🌿 Nourishing movement and breathwork
🌿 Woodland setting, owls, buzzards
🌿 Peace
🌿 Deep relaxation
🌿 A good night's sleep.

Please feel free to share this, to spread the word. 🙏

🌳This Afternoon's Woodland Yoga Retreat Between Ashby and Moira🌳

Watching the shadow of the trees 'dance' above the canopy of the bell tent was so relaxing. No blue light, no artificial light, just natural sunlight creating shapes above us, improving our internal focus and sense of wakeful relaxation. Within the circle of trees we breathed in the fresh air, we moved with grace and ease and felt the peace of the forest. We felt the strength of the spirit of the wood, and opened our hearts to it all.

It was an afternoon of complete relaxation and connection with nature, none of us wanted to leave the bell tent, or 'Belle' as I am calling her. She deserves a name, she's providing so much relief and healing over the Summer.

I'm down the woods again tomorrow, 25th August at 2pm and next Sunday 30th at 2pm, to lead some more peaceful retreats. If you want an afternoon to leave behind the noise, the rush, the busyness of life, please message me, it really is a beautiful experience for the soul.

I guess I'm lucky, I never feel lonely in life, even though I live alone and I'm self employed. I guess I've become so self sufficient over the years, I never really think about it, I enjoy the peace. But, and this is a big but, when my big sister came to my woodland retreat today, and she lay her mat next to mine, it made me feel such comfort. She's got my back through and through, and I've got hers, and you just know that some things in life will never change. It was just so great to have her there. I'm very lucky to have a sister like Emma. She'll kill me for writing this! 🤣♥️

💚 Woodland Yoga Sessions Next Week, Between Ashby and Moira 💚

If you would like to experience something a little bit different and even more relaxing than your usual weekly yoga class, come and try woodland yoga in a bell tent. I am so pleased that I went ahead and set this up, as the feedback I am continuing to get is wonderful. Practising yoga outside in the woods combines physical exercise with the healing power of nature. It deeply reduces stress, soothes the nervous system and boosts your immune system. The sights, sounds, smells and the fresh air of a forest, create a calming environment, that is hard to find in a normal yoga studio.

I will be holding two events again this week, Monday 24th and Sunday 30th August, it will be a deeply restorative and relaxing afternoon session.

🌳Woodland Yoga Retreat🌳

Date: Monday 24th August
& Sunday 30th August
Time: 2pm - 3.30pm
Cost: £22.50
What to bring: Yoga mat, blanket

A restorative and relaxing afternoon of heart opening and grounding yoga sequences, mindfulness, breathwork, meditation, deep relaxation and poetry. Similarly it will encourage you to connect with Mother Nature but on a much deeper level, so that you feel a sense of strength and support from the woodland itself. It will also offer insight into our ancient connection with the natural world and how our nervous systems respond to being outdoors in the open countryside. You will feel truly touched by peace.

If you would like to join me this week, please message me. There are 10 spaces available for each session and as soon as payment is received, your space will be reserved and I will send out further details of where to find the bell tent, it is very easy to find. 😊

I am so very very happy to be offering this to you. It really is such a peaceful, beautiful experience for your soul. 🙏
