BalletBeFit Classes are a whole body workout for everyone, using elements of Ballet technique. With all the benefits of strengthening, toning and stretching that Ballet gives, using barre, centre and floor work. Each class is adaptable to personal fitness levels and individual fitness goals.

Hundreds of cultures across the globe have used dance as ritual, for expression, connection, or during times of celebration. In this Yoga Dance Meditation practice, we will experience what it feels like to be fully present, fully aware and fully alive in our body, using movement as medicine.

Yoga Dance Meditation, was born out of trying to find a fitness practice safe for my post partum body. Not having the time to do traditional meditation and many postures inaccessible to my healing body, this class was devised to help me sweat and let go, as well as being a hell of a lot of fun! As this is not choreographed and we don't try to get into rigid postures its perfect for all body shapes and sizes and especially for pregnant or healing mommas!

The class is divided into three parts, first the guided dance section where we'll close our eyes and let the music take us away. This is followed by a yoga sequence to help stretch and strengthen our warm bodies, encouraging exploration, self discovery and resilience both on and off the mat. We finish with a relaxation, bringing it all together, so you leave feeling relaxed and ready for your week ahead.

All you need in order to do this practice is to:
Wear something comfortable
Have a body.
Close your eyes and let the music take you away!

You don't need to be a dancer in order to do this practice! Just move however FEELS right for you.

This class is based on the classic hatha track and is suitable for complete beginners or those in the initial stages of yoga practice. Brilliant for building awareness, strength, stability and flexibility with a focus on breath.

Each class will end with a guided relaxation so you will leave feeling grounded and relaxed.

The class will be infused with a combination of mindful breathing techniques and pranayama breath control techniques designed to quieten the mind and wake up the physical and energetic body. Included are subtle movements will be included to release tension and encourage calm and clarity of mind.

A union of breath and movement. Using a combination of Swara Cycles imbued with breath practices, meditation, and repetitive flowing movement (asana). An energising class (slightly more dynamic than Wednesday Hatha) with longer holds designed to strengthen and uplift you, whereby incorporating various aspects of traditional yoga techniques to promote self awareness and vitality.
**A perfect complimentary class to Smile and Breathe as you will learn more of the functionality of the breath practices to incorporate into your asana (posture) practices.

Meditation is a grounding practice which helps you to know yourself better, appreciate yourself and others more, and allows you to get a more relaxed and sound sleep. This class is designed to bring deep relaxation and restore both body and mind. We will start with some gentle movement, followed by some pranayama and finally with a guided meditation. You will leave powerfully restored and refreshed. All meditation levels are welcome.

This Yin insipred yoga and guided meditation is great for those who are new to yoga, looking to stretch after exercise or a long day sitting down.

With each posture (Asana) held to help aid relaxation and deep tissue stretching this is a slow pace class.

To end we Lisa will guide you through a meditation, no experience required to aid relaxation.

Join Amanda and Aron for this nourishing gathering at the lovely Santosha Well Being. To gather as community and open our hearts to the frequency of Love through Cacao & Sound.

"We are excited to be coming together to combine the heart opening medicine of Cacao with the grounding and nourishing Guided Sound Journey's that we love to offer!

Cacao has been such an important part of both our lives. When we were living in Bali we sat in weekly Cacao Ceremony for three months. This medicine has a very special place in our hearts and we want to share more of that with you.

Combined with the intention to channel love through the sounds of the rav vast and frame drum, we will invite you to simply relax into your own heart centred journey and sink into the healing vibrations that will surround you."

How it will flow:
After receiving and sharing the Cacao (which will be provided), we will relax into the sounds of the Rav Vast drum, a steel drum, with the G pygmy scale which balances sounds of the Solar & Lunar energies. We will connect with our hearts further through heart centred meditations, practices and song.

This event is open to all people, regardless of gender.

A bit about Cacao:
Cacao teaches us to open our hearts, connecting us to the energy of love and allowing us to enter into a beautiful blissful state. It has been used ceremonially for thousands of years across Central and South America.

It's active ingredient; Theobromine, is translated as 'Food of the Gods', and the people of ancient Meso-America attributed a sacred status to Cacao, and would drink it ceremonially to commune with their Gods. The Cacao beans contained in raw chocolate have a wide array of unique properties.
(As with all plants and medicine, there are some contraindications. When booking you will be asked some questions to establish the appropriate dosage that could work for you as an individual.)

What to bring:
~ A journal and pen
~ A bottle of water
~ A special cup for your Cacao
~ Instruments to play if you have any (drums,rattles etc)

Focusing on restoration, increase your strength, stability and flexibility whilst reducing your anxiety, stress and pain.

The Wellbeing Girl Self Care Workshop Series is designed to inform, empower and protect individuals from stress, overwhelm, compassion fatigue and burnout.

This workshop will:
Explore what self-care actually means to you and how we go about doing that.
Identify the 5 different types of self-care.
The workshop will assist individuals to incorporate a daily plan to bring more of this into their lives
The workshop will support individuals to explore boundaries and ways in which to support and protect themselves from vicarious overwhelm and burnout.
The workshop will look at personal values and how this knowledge can further support the development of a personal self-care practice
The workshop will provide support in a safe space among likeminded people and provide you with your own personal support network to make the changes needed and to continue to grow.

This class follows the classic hatha track and includes: sun salutations, 12 classic asanas (postures), breathwork and guided relaxation.

We will follow a similar sequence each week to help you track your progress. Variations are provided to accommodate all ability levels.

Approachable but challenging Vinyasa flow, with influences from Forrest Yoga and Mandala, focusing on body control and strength using the breath to carry my students through their practice. I like to challenge everyone to have a great time, challenge their minds, doing strong movements and long holds while providing a safe, encouraging, and non-judgmental environment where each individual can achieve their full potential.

Improve your respiratory and cardiovascular systems, brighten your mood and enhance your energy levels, and reduce your levels of stress and anxiety.

This workshop focuses on Yin Yoga which will leave you feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated. It is the perfect counter balance for our busy ‘yang’ lifestyles. Postures are held for around 5 minutes and the body is supported with props so we don’t engage our muscles and don’t over stretch - this helps us to release deeply.

The workshop will begin with pranayama (breathing practices) to start stilling the mind and settling the body. We will then come into our yin yoga practice allowing time to find the variation of each posture that works best for each of us. Towards the end of the session, we will use yoga nidra to fully absorb our yoga practice by relaxing the body and mind fully. Finally we will ground ourselves using all of our senses in preparation for going back into our everyday lives while still maintaining a feeling of calm.

£30 per person. Once booked, you will receive a confirmation email with details on how to pay for your slot and what you will need for this amazing workshop. You slot will only be secured once paid for.
