This Workshop/CPD is for yoga teachers.

Lucy will be leading a module on Size Inclusivity, which examines weight stigma, diet culture and how these things impact our teaching and our practice. 

As yoga teachers, we need to hold space for any student who may enter our class, no matter their shape or size, providing all bodies with equity of experience. However many plus sized people are not made to feel comfortable in yoga spaces because teachers do not have the ability or the experience to adapt for their bodies.

This workshop will break down the reasons why it is so important to make yoga classes size-inclusive, the culture which has led us to exclude people in bigger bodies and give us the tools to create inclusive and accepting spaces for all of out students

Cost: £75

*Non-refundable

Date: Sunday, 24th of March 3.30 pm-7.30 pm

Sunlight is seeping into evenings, and with the spring equinox, the sun shines equal parts to night’s embrace. 

Celebrate this tipping point in seasons and the first official day of spring with this Yang and Yin-inspired workshop, which will leave you energised and rooted, ready to step into the sunnier months ahead. 

A split two-hour practice of flow and relaxation alongside together creating an equinox tree, with leaves carrying intentions for the year ahead - plus drinks and delicious baked treats. 

What to expect…

• Guided breath work to lead into a break, where together we’ll make our own ‘intention leaves’ carrying notions for the year ahead to create an equinox tree. 

• Break alongside drinks and freshly baked treats to re-fuel.

• Followed by a one-hour yin and restorative practice with grounding shapes connected to the element of spring, wood, and its energetic lines. Ending with yoga nidra informed by the intention set in the break.

This workshop is a perfect way to experience a nurturing extended yin yoga practice and meditation to start your weekend with renewed energy. Change of the season requires time to slow down to reset the energy and explore within yourself.

Kamila will lead you through a nourishing yin yoga practice focused on slow, floor-based poses held for 3-5 min using different props to support the body.

This practice helps settle the nervous system to prepare the whole body, mind, and heart system to release deeply in meditation.

This workshop will provide space where students can rest and release the tensions we all carry. Kamila will offer a gentle head massage during the practice and final resting part.

Sara has been using Myofascial Release, Yoga and Meditation/Mindfulness for many years as a way of managing pain and her relationship with it, to enhance recovery and improve her wellbeing.

She will take you through a 2h session that will include a grounding meditation practice with breathwork and body awareness and a slow intuitive yoga flow. You will then explore Myofascial release.

Myofascial release is a form of pressure massage, that helps to break down ‘sticky’ fascia and tension in muscles. You will learn how to use self-myofascial release techniques, with balls, blocks and blankets, to help with range of motion, injuries, scar tissues, tension, muscle recovery and function, connect you with your body and help you to de-stress, and to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes recover, relaxation, sleep and digestion.

The workshop will finish with a small Yin and Restorative yoga practice and relaxation to nurture you and to help you to end the week fully restored.

Props will be provided in the studio. If you are joining from home, you will need 1-2 tennis balls (recommended) or at least a pair of socks that you can fold, a yoga block, a blanket and pillows.

Saturday 30th December, 2:30-5:00 pm

As we move from one year to the next, I invite you to join me in an extended yoga practice together on the mat. A moment for reflection, contemplation, and practice together. My personal intention for this practice is to help you carve out time to be with your practice, connect to yourself, and to perhaps ground yourself through the festive season. It can be a busy time of year with complex and competing priorities. I invite you to connect in and hopefully find a place to be in the moment and move forward with into a new year. 

This practice will open with a short guided meditation followed by a warming and invigorating pranayama (breathwork). There will be an extended dynamic asana (movement) practice where I will offer places to find both comfort and challenge depending on where you are at on the day. As this is a longer practice, there will be an ebb and flow in and out of faster pace movement and back to stillness. We will close with an extended savasana, a second shorter gentle pranayama and meditation.

Practice: 2:30-4:30 pm

Tea & chats: 4:30-5:00 pm

Reviews

“The summer retreat was such a wonderful day. It was beautifully organised and the sessions were really thoughtfully sequenced. Delicious food, lovely company, and I left feeling happy and deeply relaxed. 11/10!”

“The summer retreat was wonderful! The timing was perfect because I’d just finished a very busy summer of work travel and this was exactly what I needed. I’d never been to a yoga retreat before, but having the whole day for yoga and meditation felt like a real luxury and went much faster than I expected. Becky and Venetia set a really fun and welcoming tone - I didn’t know any of the other attendees before I went, but got to know them and it’s been nice since then to see them again in classes. Venetia’s food was also excellent, and plenty of it! I’m looking forward to the winter retreat already.”

Join Bridget for a warming nourishing extended practice on a Sunday evening which weaves in yoga, meditation, breathwork and rest. Our focus will be on the core finding different ways to support our practice from our centre more. We will let our inner flame simmer as we flow through creative and traditional sequences and then come to a space of stillness and rest. 

There will be options and modifications given for all who want to participate. Let this be a space for you to go deep in and reap the rewards of a couple of hours dedicated to your practice.

As we transition from class to the world outside we can share a chai tea and chat (or moment of quiet- depending how you feel) before we go back into our weeks and lives.

Journey into your inner world with your breath and find greater connection with your body, emotions and subconscious. Breathwork is a powerful way to embark on a journey of self-exploration, compassion and healing.

Control of the breath has been used by many ancient and indigenous cultures for healing and spiritual development. Now, an understanding of the power of the breath is spreading into modern life, led by figures such as Wim Hof.

Benefits of breathwork include:

• Experience energetic flow and presence in your body

• Release stress, anxiety, tension and emotions that have been held in your body

• Connect with states of peace and love.

What will happen in the session?

• We'll connect the group and drop into our body and breath

• You’ll be introduced to the simple conscious breathwork technique

• You will be supported on your inner journey with the breath through spoken guidance and evocative music. Most people lie down for the session.

• There will be time at the end to share experiences.

Your Facilitator – Karen Iles: flowofpotential.com

Karen discovered the healing possibility of Breathwork on a visit to Bali in 2015. It was a powerful experience for her mind, body and heart, and in 2017 she completed the Alchemy of Breath facilitator programme. She has also explored Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release Systems (BBTRS) and in 2021 she completed the second year of training to become an Alchemy of Breath Certified Practitioner.

The practices and self-awareness she learnt through Breathwork have helped support her through her late husband’s diagnosis with cancer in 2018, and living with grief since his passing in 2019. Karen is also a yoga teacher.

Please be aware:

Breathwork is a stimulating practice that can connect us with our emotions and inner world. Each person's experience will be unique, and it is important that you are in a stable mental condition to take part.

This workshop is NOT suitable for people who are pregnant, have epilepsy or seizures, high blood pressure, heart conditions, personal history of aneurysms or in their family, severe asthma, glaucoma, bipolar, PTSD, schizophrenia or psychosis.

If you have any of the above conditions and are interested in trying breathwork, please contact Karen@flowofpotential.com to discuss or for a 121 session.

For attendees:

Please bring a drink/water, and avoid eating a heavy meal or drinking coffee in the hour before the session.

It is common to need some time to ground and process after the session, so please allow some quiet time for your integration. Please allow time to make sure you feel grounded before cycling or driving home and avoid immediate consumption of alcohol.

Price(non-refundable): £30

Sunday 8th October; 4:00-6:00pm

Yin is a slow, meditative style of yoga where the, mainly floor based, poses are held for several minutes at a time. On a basic level, the stillness and longer holds offer the chance for increased body awareness, relaxation and a really good stretch! However, there are greater therapeutic benefits which can be unlocked. If yin is practised regularly with a deeper level of sensitivity, it can help unravel persistent tension, pain and / or support athletic recovery.

Therapeutic yin yoga is much less about making a 'correct' target shape and much more about finding the right shape for your body to explore in a particular moment. How far we can (or should go) into, and the kind of sensations we experience a yin pose vary widely from person to person. So how do we get the most from a yin pose or even know how to choose the right pose to begin with? Come along on the 8th of October to find out....

In the workshop you will:

Learn about the basic principles of yin yoga

Find out why and how to use props to support your body in yin poses

Explore how to select the right pose(s) to help your body

Design and practice your own 3 pose therapeutic yin sequence

Our bodies love to move! Come celebrate movement for movement’s sake, dropping any dogma, coalescing our practices and principles and having a satisfying practice that brings together all the bits, set to some beautiful beats….

Join Bridget for a flowing class which includes both yoga and Pilates influences. A practice where we come together and get to move, stretch, strengthen, breathe, wriggle, meditate and rest.

Take some space and time to truly drop in and listen to your body, to let it guide you into a meditative state and perhaps reveal some intuitive wisdom. Some believe that our bodies carry their own stories, and they can take some time to open up and offer their insights. We will move in familiar and also at times some unusual challenging ways to feel into different layers of our physical selves. This full spectrum practice can tap us into that space of knowing and listening and can feel incredibly powerful and magical. All set to an epic ambient electronic soundscape, concluding with meditation and savasana to let it all to assimilate.

Open to anyone interested, Bridget will give supportive options and modifications, with room for your own embellishments. Please reach out with any questions (and let her know before the practice if you are working with any injuries or medical conditions).

Conquer your plies, master your ballet positions, and improve your balance and choreography! Barre has become one of the most popular fusions of ballet, pilates and interval training to build strength, muscle tone and flexibility. You will get a chance to tone, sculpt and stretch your entire body. There is no need to be a professional dancer or have any dance background.

In part 2 of the masterclass series, we will focus on the deep core muscles, lower body strength and mobility, with a separate part devoted to the upper body. We will use a variety of props (blocks, bands, weights, discs, etc.) with energising music.

In the stretching part, we will focus on deep stretching techniques to develop splits, hips flexibility and open chest.

This masterclass is a great way to try barre for the first time or to deepen barre practice by learning new movements and using more props.

We all know how good it feels when we laugh, right? It’s good for our health, both physically and mentally. 😃

It’s also a lot easier to do with others and amazing for connecting us as fellow humans, so let’s do it together! Let’s wake up our bodies and spirits with a good old laugh. 🤣

You don’t have to be a positive person and you don’t even have to feel like laughing. It’s simply a case of showing up, with an open mind and willingness to try something a bit different. Suzy will gently guide you through a series of exercises to bring us some good hearty belly laughs before a calming, grounding meditation. 😍

No yoga ability or equipment needed!

Previous participants have described feeling more alive, energised, connected, creative, productive, confident and calm. 🤩

So it might feel weird, but it might just might make you feel amazing!

What people are saying;

“Suzy is a fantastic facilitator, sensitive, knowledgeable and simply wants to create a moment of connection and playfulness in these challenging times.”

“I struggle with long term Chronic Pain and it’s helped. Thank you”

“I have been very surprised by the emotional impact of your class, I thought I just needed to cheer up a bit and re-find my joy but actually it has touched me in much deeper ways and the sense of community and belonging has been very much at the heart of the power of joining Suzy’s class”

“Suzy’s zest for life brings everything into perspective. Laughing for 10 minutes is the only time I manage to put down all the ‘buzz’ in my head, and just be!”

Suzy Harvey is a specialist in Joy and Connection. Her main goal in life is to create spaces where people feel welcome, safe and confident to express themselves, have fun, be their wonderful selves and feel good.

When the pandemic began, she shifted all of her in-person joy facilitation online and set up Everybody Laugh Together, hosting just over 300 online laughter yoga sessions on weekday mornings .

Pre-pandemic, she worked as a Giggle Doctor in children’s hospitals and hosted interactive, inclusive screenings of old musicals.

Join us to mark the Spring Equinox this March. Seasonal shifts can be a potent time to reflect and create intention, to process and release patterns and habits in our every day that are no longer serving us.

The spring can be a time of quickening energy, of renewal and release. At this time if we are able to ground and be present we can appreciate all that is beginning to flourish and grow.

At first Bridget will guide everyone through a 90-minute yoga practice aimed to centre and balance our energy; moving through some flowing, uplifting and invigorating sequences as well as more slow, gentle restorative ones. Breath-work and meditative moments will be woven in, helping us to integrate. Through the practice, we will land into our bodies and tune into our senses so that we can fully absorb the experience of our tea ceremony together.

TEA BOWL CEREMONY

Join us for a simple tea ceremony as we share teas that complement the season and bring us closer to nature. Vital and verdant green teas will be served to help us connect with the feeling of Spring inside and out. We will explore how paying mindful attention enhances the experience of sharing and drinking tea. Seeing for ourselves how ‘Zen and tea are one flavour’.

No experience needed.

COST (non-refundable): £35 per/person
