Welcome to the monthly full moon closed group, where our practice is devoted to honouring the cycles of nature, connecting with our bodies & being in community with other women.

This will always be a longer session, 90 minutes to two hours. This gives us plenty of time to catch up with the group and enjoy a spacious practice.

The Yoga practices are designed to be supportive and nourishing for women, to help the reconnection with the body & the natural cycles of the Earth.

This six week course is designed to help you explore your bodies wisdom, in particular, when recovering from trauma.

Yoga is increasingly recognised for its ability to support mental health. In this six week course for women, you will be guided by Katie Sayles, to learn practical techniques and mind-body explorations to support your trauma recovery journey.

This is a six week exploration of Therapeutic Yoga, Somatics and Polyvagal Theory to support you in your journey of self-discovery, embodied healing and meaningful change.

Each session is 90 minutes long and will consist of psychoeducation, movement, breathing practices, somatic practices and rest.

When embarking on this course, you are likely to meet like-minded souls who may have had similar experiences to you. It may therefore be a beautiful way to open yourself up to being witnessed by others, and supported in a held space where any and all of your expression is welcome.

The session topics will explore:

Week 1: Choice - Often when we experience trauma, our choice may have been taken away from us. This session will help you to find a sense of safety in your body and increase your capacity to be with emotions and sensations without becoming overwhelmed.

Week 2: The Witness - This session supports you to non-judgmentally observe your thoughts, emotions and sensations using a range of practices and gentle stretches.

Week 3: Cultivate Equanimity - In this session, we will explore Polyvagal theory and practices that aim to facilitate greater balance in the nervous system.

Week 4: Embodiment as Empowerment - This session is designed to support you to safely upregulate and mobilise the body and mind, enhancing the felt sense of vitality.

Week 5: Brain and Body Integration - This class explores the impact that trauma has on our body and mind, with practices to support brain integration.

Week 6: Opening to Love - In the final class of this course, practices aim to facilitate a gentle and safe opening of the heart, an inward turn towards yourself and softening of muscular tension.

A blend of two favourites. Yin Yoga is a slow paced, meditative style of Yoga which is based on traditional Chinese medicine principles. Stretches are held for a while to release physical tension & stimulate the energy system.

Restorative Yoga is stilling and gentle, the class is particularly useful for busy people who are wanting to slow down and bring some ease into their day.

Practicing rest regularly is useful for immunity, digestion, menstruation, menopause & the reproductive system.

Rest also benefits social bonding, resilience and energy levels.

A yoga class for all Mothers - pregnant people, those with tiny babies and those that had their children many years ago; if you’ve experienced loss or abortion; if you’re a carer. However it is for you to Mother - you are so welcome here. This is a space for you to be tended to and receive care and connection. You are welcome to bring your baby if you need or want to!

This class is designed to support our ever changing bodies as we move through all phases of Motherhood. We rest deeply.

This class is to bring all of our experiences of Motherhood together and there will be variations offered to best support you in the moment.

The small class size makes sure that you receive individual attention.

We support the pelvic floor and core and offer release for constricted areas; we work with the breath to bring a sense of spaciousness and ease. If you’re pregnant all movement will be there to support you and help in the birth of your baby. We believe postpartum care should last for many years after birth.

Each class finishes with a long period of fully supported rest through the use of props or yoga nidra.

*Please note that upon booking, you are consenting for your baby to be part of the class, if you do choose to bring them.
