A special Sunday evening workshop to indulge in the quiet and gentle practice of Yin Yoga and soak up the transformative power of Meditation.

Yin Yoga is a healing practice of long-held poses where muscles completely relax & surrender to allow us to access the deeper layers of the body. It works on releasing constrictions in the connective tissue, ligaments, and tendons that support the hips, pelvis and lower spine. It also stimulates & opens the energy meridians of the subtle body, often described as a “needleless acupuncture session” for the body!
This nurturing workshop will take you through a specific series of seated & supine poses. Aimed at improving joint mobility, cultivating flexibility and help you heal yourself by releasing deep seated tension, breaking up blockages and thus encouraging easier flow of energy around the body, moving you out of negative emotions. You’ll discover balance and find a deep peace in your body & mind.

After the physical part of the practice, Freya will lead you through a guided meditation practice, to settle your awareness on the body and breath, whilst shifting the nervous system to a more restorative and healing mode. Meditation brings an incredible sense of calmness, stillness, space, quietness, and clarity.

Lets connect together and enjoy this shared experience!

Join Sound Therapist Craig Eddington live at Heather Yoga for this fantastic restorative way to leave behind the stresses of modern life as you step into the power of Sound Healing and Sound Therapy. The Gong is played gently along with Himalayan & Crystal Singing Bowls with the captivating tones lulling you into a deep relaxation & restorative state.

There are a number of health benefits associated with achieving this state of deep relaxation: lower blood pressure, increased blood circulation, balancing of the nervous system, reduced mind chatter, better sleep patterns. Some people gain mental clarity or feel very energised by the sessions. The session may even enhance your creativity.

Some people also experience a reduced sense of pain, plus relief from symptoms of ongoing medical conditions and illnesses. The sound helps to induce our natural relaxation response, taking us out of ‘fight or flight’ mode and into our restorative, parasympathetic state. Those with auto-immune & nervous system conditions have benefited considerably from this work.

Attending the session can leave you with a feeling of inner peace and tranquillity and a reduced sense of stress, anxiety or worry.

A Gong Relaxation works on all levels of your being – mind, body, soul & spirit. The sound vibrations will provide a ‘sonic massage’ to your physical self and subtle energy fields, leaving you feeling relaxed, refreshed and restored.

Everyone is welcome, sessions are open, informal and light hearted. Wear warm comfortable clothing. No special skills required, just bring a smile and let the sound work its magic!

Due to our health and safety measures during COVID-19 yoga mats, blankets & bolsters are no longer provided. Please bring your own yoga mat / blanket / cushions and eye pillow for your comfort.

Prompt start. Please arrive 10 minutes early.

Join Ella Young for this online workshop at Heather Yoga to connect to Shakti ~ the divine primordial power. This is a live offering so that we share the space to create a sacred circle bursting with shakti. Within the comfort of your own home, we unshackle perceived boundaries and expectations, instead we take a journey back home.

You will be guided into creating your own sanctuary space. In many religions, there is a special temple where you meet the Divine and so this is kept meticulous. In tantric philosophy, we have the opportunity to meet the Divine in every moment and every place, especially inside of our own body.

Prepare for the enchantment and awakening of the senses through smell, touch, taste, sight and sound. This multisensory experience will guide us back to the realisation that the Mother resides within us – she, and therefore we, are sacred.

Shakti is diverse, expressive and beautiful in all of her forms; wild and fierce, peaceful and gentle, caring and kind; you are free to be your own unique expression at any time you choose. Sometimes we forget or are unable to tap into our instinct because we are so unknowingly restricted through societal pressures. Rediscover the Divine Feminine and awaken the force within!

You will need:

Essential oil + carrier oil (if this is difficult, you can use any oil from your kitchen cupboard)
A special drink to taste – Ella will be using Rasa Teas, an organic blend made with heirloom cacao husk
All of the yoga props you can muster up!
A Spotify account in order to access the special curated playlist which will be shared with you

Somatic Yoga develops awareness of the sensations that arise as we move. Rather than following instructions in order to place the body in a specific way, Somatic Yoga invites you to travel inwards and explore the feeling of movement, the sensations of the journey, and to make conscious choices based on those sensations. Consequently, we are not so much interested in the final destination (a posture or shape) but rather the space that becomes available to us on the inside as we move towards that destination.

The word “Somatic” comes from “Soma”; a Greek word for “the living body”, the body as experienced from within. Somatic Yoga invites you to dwell on the inside during your practice and travel to, perhaps, unknown or forgotten areas, to experience an inner fluidity and connectedness.

‘Like love itself, Yoga has a texture. When we can immerse ourselves into our own personal sensations, and pay attention to them, then there is space for spontaneous and integrated movement to reveal itself’
Helen Noakes, Scaravelli-Inspired Yoga Teacher Trainer.

In this two hour session we’ll be inviting you to explore elements of Sun Salutation through a Somatic Yoga lens, and experience it like never before. No previous experience is needed, just an attitude of curiosity and wonder.

David and Amanda of Radiant Star Yoga are both experienced Somatic Movement Educators with over 10 years experience teaching a variety of movement approaches including Somatic Yoga, Aerial Yoga and Pranayama. They are also Aerial Yoga Teacher Trainers and Somatic Movement Teacher Trainers www.radiantstaryoga.com

Join me for this two-hour workshop to learn the tools in how you can craft & develop your very own practice that works for you & your body, your environment and schedule.
Have you ever wanted to get on the mat and do your own practice but not sure where to start? Maybe something before work to help you focus or a sequence which will support you post run, bike ride or training to help with recovery, or whilst baby naps/ the kids are in bed? But you’ve not felt confident to do it, because you’re unsure & confused about what to do first and what comes next?!

In this workshop I will guide you with the essentials to build and tailor your own personal yoga practice that will inspire you, motivate you and empower you to get on the mat and lead yourself with confidence in a practice at any time, anywhere.

Through discussion and practice you will learn the basic building blocks of sequencing, so you feel comfortable to get on the mat and know how to get from one place to another – moving at your own pace, tuning in and responding to what your body needs, and developing a greater consistency and frequency in your home practice. By the end of the workshop, you will have designed your very own class that’s simple, playful, interesting, and you’re ready to get going with!

In my own yoga journey self-practice was one of the standout ways I really started to deepen my own practice and it provided me so much more freedom & understanding with what I was doing as a practitioner of yoga and as I started my journey towards becoming teacher. And as a yoga teacher, home practice is one of the most important things to develop your own practice.

This workshop is open to all students except complete beginners who want to develop & tailor an enjoyable self-practice for your own body and lifestyle. This will also be a valuable offering for anyone who is considering becoming a Yoga teacher and those already teaching to refine & hone your own practice so you are more equipped to teach others.
This online workshop is also included in the Yoga Booster Master Class Series Package

Saturday 28th August 11am – 1pm
