YOGA AND MOVEMENT
Our bodies were made to move, they need to move. Through movement we can not only make ourselves fitter and stronger but we can access holistic healing by building a better relationship with and understanding of our body, mind and emotions.

HATHA YOGA
WHEN: Every Monday at 7.30pm (60 mins)
WHERE: The Wych Centre, Civic Way, Middlewich, CW10 9BX
The intention of this session is to build strength and flexibility to support your functional every day movement. It’s a fun and energetic class that incorporates a warm-up flow, standing postures, seated postures, balancing, back-strengthening, core-work and inversions. We work to challenge ourselves in each posture but with ahimsa (compassion, non-violence) at the forefront of our approach. All levels, including beginners, are very welcome. Please bring your own mat or contact me in advance if you need to borrow one.
YIN YOGA
WHEN: Every Monday at 6.15pm (60 mins)
WHERE: The Wych Centre, Civic Way, Middlewich, CW10 9BX
My Yin Yoga sessions blend longer-held postures with somatic movement that is initiated from our bodies, rather than our minds. Each session will take you on a deep journey into your own body to support you to build a more meaningful connection with yourself. This practice is about ‘being’, not ‘doing’, with no right or wrong way to move. The session allows you to cultivate a practice a yoga practice that works for you whilst improving flexibility and joint mobility. Sessions are underpinned by Tantric philosophy, principles of embodied expression and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Suitable for beginners and no prior yoga experience is necessary.
SOMAYOGA
WHEN: Every Saturday at 11am (60 mins)
WHERE: The Ministry of Yoga, Walthall Street, Crewe, CW2 7LE
SomaYoga is a unique practice which blends together my favourite aspects of yoga and somatics to provide you with an opportunity for inner exploration. This is a body first, mind second approach to movement where there is no right or wrong and no expectations or judgement, just a space to ‘be’ rather than ‘do’. Moving between liquid flow states, yin poses, restorative pauses and intuitive movement this is an invitation to be guided by the direct experience of the body, rather than doing what the mind ‘thinks’ you should be doing. This session is informed by the methodology of the Soma Method. Working with the body in this way can be transformative, building a deeper connection with your authentic self, learning what you truly need and how you can support yourself in each moment.
