Autumn Equinox - Yin and Restorative
Summer is quite rightly a season where we can be more sociable, sleep later and lighter, wake earlier and generally just live more outwardly which in turn results in us spending a lot of our energy. Marking Autumn Equinox by intentionally creating space to replenish that summer spending, nourish, ground and begin to build up the reserves again can be a true gift to ourselves and help us move through this seasonal shift with more ease.
Come and join me for an evening of Yin and restorative Yoga, slowing down, turning gently inward and coming back to your self.
Location: Private Studio Ruislip - Limited to 6 spaces
Date: Thursday 19th September
Time: 7:30 - 9:15pm
Cost: £20
Kirtan Love - A Monthly Gathering of Soulful Sound & Meditation.
Kirtan is a call and response meditation where we use our voices, singing ancient Sanskrit Mantra to come together and enter into the infinite space of the heart.
There is something quite unique about how the connection of our collective sound carries us inward to the silent stillness within, inviting us to rest in that which is inherently peaceful and ultimately healing and soothing for the soul.
If you’ve not participated in a Kirtan practice before, this is a lovely space to dip your toe in. You can join in, sit or lay and just listen or move around to the music if you wish. There are no pre-requisites and you definitely don’t need to be able to sing! All hearts and voice welcome.
Location: Private Studio Ruislip
Upcoming Date’s: Thursday 13th June
Time: 7:00 - 8:30pm
Cost: £10

An Introduction to
The Menopause Method.
An On-line Workshop to change your Life
Thursday’s 16th & 23rd September 7:30 - 8:30 pm. (recording available)
Entering into peri-menopause can seem like your whole life is unravelling. Natural changes to our hormones can leave us experiencing hot flushes, irritability, disturbed sleep, brain fog and much more.
There are many things that can help us to manage the symptoms but supplements are costly and can take months to make a difference, GP’s are often limited in their time and specific Menopause training and many Women experience difficulty and frustration in finding the right balance of HRT which can come with several unwanted side effects.
The Menopause Method is a unique protocol derived from studying evidence based neuroscience, biochemistry, chronobiology, breathing techniques and clinical hypnotherapy. So far, 300 women have been involved in researching the efficacy of The Menopause Method and every woman who followed the 20 minute, simple, daily practice experienced profound changes with most seeing a reduction of 80% in their symptoms within 7 days and often the changes were immediate.
In the first session you will learn the practices and be sent a recording to do at home daily. The second shorter session will be for and questions, clarification or feedback and finish with a nourishing yoga nidra.
Date: Thursday 16th September 7:30 - 8:30 pm.
Thursday 23rd September 7:30 - 8:15 pm.
Costs: £50
Location: Online Live-stream: Zoom (details to be sent once booked).
