Online Winter Wellbeing Series
Mondays 7.15-8.30pm
A six week wellbeing series with no need to travel - practice in your PJs is welcome!
Live, online classes, with replays available to nourish yourself over the winter months
Combining yoga, somatics, yin, myofascial release and acupressure
Starts Monday 18th November
The stillness that characterises winter, brings a subtle invitation to redirect your energies inwards. This is a time to rest, reflect, hold space, vision, hibernate, and withdraw some of your outwardly focused energy and redirect it inward.
Winter is characterised by cold weather, a sense of heaviness, increased moisture (usually in the form of rain or snow), cloud-covered days, and a grounded, slow feeling that sends many animals into hibernation.
Yet, for some of you the calm, peaceful nature of winter may be a bit oppressive at times and can leave you feeling weighed down, stagnant, or uninspired. For many of us, this season is often not full of nourishment and pro-actively staying well, and we often find ourselves victims of those colds and winter bugs when our physical and mental health takes a dive.
Comfort eating becomes more appealing, travelling to yoga studios less so. Socialising becomes less fun and more of an effort.
It’s a time when we need extra nourishment and support for our bodies and minds.
During winter our work is to cultivate our collective wellbeing to counter the cold, grey weather and the seasonal tendency toward melancholy and loneliness.
Balance your winter months with the deep rest and nourishment that our Winter Wellbeing series is designed to provide.
We combine the healing power of Somatics, Yoga, Yin, Myofascial Release and Acupressure to support you through the cold and dark of winter.
This course is for you if:
You’ve been feeling anxious, overtired, overworked or stressed
You want to fight winter blues and colds
You’re feeling overworked, overwhelmed and exhausted.
You’d like to explore how to enhance your health and wellbeing and restore space, calm and relaxation to your daily life.
What can I expect?
Each session includes 60 minutes of Yoga, Somatic Movement, Myofascial Release and Acupressure techniques, along with an introduction and guided relaxation to end.
You can expect wellbeing practices and themed focuses for each week.
This is a 6 part course to restore a sense of harmony and balance as we transition into the winter months.
Opportunities to learn:
How to incorporate simple techniques to rewire our system and restore a sense of ease and contentment.
Mindful and embodied approaches that reliably turn down the volume on your overactive nervous system

How to re-balance the subtle energy body as well as learn about the science of fascia and nervous system
Investing in our wellbeing can be the most important decision you ever make, especially during Winter, when a reduced immune system may leave us open to seasonal infections and feeling emotionally down.
Together, we’ll explore science based techniques which you can use at any time or place, to create your own individual recipe for feeling good.
FAQ
Can I catch up on recordings?
Yes! There is 6 months access to the recordings, so if you missed the start date you can join any time, catch up on the sessions missed and then join the group for the next session. I recommend and request you join live to get the benefit from our time and the community by being present. However you can watch the replays back in your own time and revisit the course content during tougher times. too.
What’s the investment?
Investment of £82.50 for the full series, with an option to pay in two monthly instalments.
What do I need to set up?
You’ll need a yoga mat, two tennis balls or massage balls ( for myofascial release), a bolster or a few pillows, and anything else you’d like to make your cosy nest, blankets, your favourite aromas, and something to cover your eyes for our relaxation. I will share a playlist each week which will be a Spotify link.
