UPCOMING EVENTS

YOGA RETREAT TO MOROCCO

31ST APRIL TO 7 MAY 2025

New Paragraph

LIFE DRAWING - return date TBC

Life Drawing has become quite a feature over the last couple of years.

Hosted by myself at the studio, the class is lead by art teacher Sam Watkins. Life models join us, both female and male, for a relaxed but fun evening.

Sam is on hand to offer you tuition and guidance should you need it, or is happy to leave you to your own devices if you don't need it!

You do not need to be artistically gifted, just have a willingness to give it a go. You will need your own materials. Easels can be provided. Refreshments are provided.

Typically these classes are held every other month, but you can contact either myself or Sam directly for more details or to book, on 07557 535916.

HOLISTIC FAYRE - NOVEMBER 2025

This will be the fifth Holistic Fayre held at the Yoga Studio, and they're gaining popularity with each one! We host a range of local traders selling ethical, natural or homemade products - ideally timed ready for Christmas. At each one we also offer mini treatments such as accupressure, reiki, reflexology etc. There is also the ever popular tarot reader and clairvoyant available to you. Importantly, coffee, teas and homemade cake are available!

Should you be interested in participating as as therapist or trader, do contact Luci directly. Otherwise you will be welcome to visit us on the day, betweem 11:00 and 16:00.

GONG BATHS -
FRIDAY * dates TBC

7:30 - 8:30 pm. £20 - Spaces are strictly limited and booking is essential. Contact me directly to book.

Gong baths are an easy form of meditation. You simply turn up, make a comfy nest and allowing you to immerse yourself in vibration and sound. I feel blessed to have met Gong Master Sam from Peace of Mind who conducts the Gong Baths.

Brainwaves:

Beta brainwaves is the usual working brain state, with a frequency range of between 12.5 and 30 HZ. This is how we function in the world. In a relaxed state we can change our brainwaves to lower frequencies; Alpha (8-12Hz) daydreaming, imagination and associative thinking are all parts of alpha brainwave activity. Alpha brainwaves are present in states of relaxation. Theta waves have a frequency of 4-7Hz and occur during deep meditation. Theta brainwave frequencies are most often where the gong will take you. You will most likely enter a dreamlike, deep meditative state.

It is claimed that Gong Bath mediation can do many things such as relieve anxiety, help reduce pain, help shed spiritual layers and aids peaceful sleep. We, however, don’t make any claims about what our Gong can do for you, as it’s such a personal experience. We have had lots of amazing feedback from our clients, each confirming what we claim, which is to give the person receiving the gong, ‘just what they need, in that moment’.

Light refreshments and chat follow the Gong Bath.
