A monthly closed-group class for anyone wishing to support their health by deepening their connection with their body. The group is led by Katie Sayles, Somatic Coach, Registered Mental Health Nurse and Yoga Teacher.

What is a closed group?

A closed group includes the same members each month, allowing familiarity, trust and friendliness to develop. This consistency is especially valuable in therapeutic settings, where a sense of safety supports deeper exploration and learning.

This group meets on the third Monday of each month and each session is 90 minutes. We ask participants to commit to a minimum of three sessions to help establish stability and connection within the group.

What is somatics?

Somatics is a body-based approach to healing that recognises that our emotions, experiences and histories are held not only in the mind, but also in the body. Instead of focusing solely on thoughts or verbal processing, somatic work invites gentle exploration of sensations, patterns, and tension as a pathway to deeper understanding.

Using practices such as breath, mindful movement, grounding and body awareness, somatic therapy supports reconnection with inner resources, release of held tension, and a return to a more regulated, authentic and embodied way of being. It is an approach that honours the whole person—mind, body and spirit.

Is the pace and rhythm of modern life starting to feel disconnecting and tiring?

Every Tuesday evening, our wonderful Katie Sayles leads a very special closed group. This is a therapeutic style closed group, based around women’s circle. Expect community, conversation, somatic movement, rest, breathwork and wild woman energy. To give you a flavour, themes in the past have included embodiment, somatic's and desire.

The fee is £64 per four week phase. You are not required to attend every session but we cannot refund any missed sessions in a closed group.

At Grow Yoga, our purpose is to support your connection Mother Nature and the natural rhythms that so often get drowned out by the noise of modern life. Through simple yoga, spiritual concepts, meditation, rest, sound, and the ancient power of women’s circle, we create space for you to explore and lean into a slower and more intentional way of life.

🌕 Important Notes About the Closed Group

This is a closed container, meaning your place is held just for you.

You’re welcome to miss classes, —there’s no pressure to attend every week.

However, because your space cannot be offered to others, we’re unable to provide refunds for missed sessions.

You may leave the group at any time.
We simply ask for two weeks’ notice before the end of a cycle so we can offer your space to someone on our waitlist.
If less notice is given and we cannot fill your place, we may ask you to complete payment for the next phase.

If you book now, you will access the 2025 rate of £64 per phase before our prices increase for 2026.

This small, closed-group class is designed for those who need a gentler yoga practice due to pain, fatigue, or other health-related needs. With only four participants, the group offers a spacious, supportive and personal experience.

A closed group means the same members attend for at least four weeks, helping create consistency in the teachings and a friendly, comfortable atmosphere. Please note that, due to the nature of the closed group, we are unable to offer refunds for missed sessions.

The class is led by Katie Sayles, a Yoga Teacher, Somatic Coach and Registered Mental Health Nurse. Katie has extensive experience offering one-to-one therapeutic support for people with pain, fatigue and other health needs, and is passionate about creating a nurturing community space.
