Nothing has changed my life and priorities so profoundly as becoming a parent. And never have I related more to an elephant. If you’re familiar with the children’s classic ‘Five Minutes Peace’ then you’ll know the struggles Mrs Large faces as she strives to carve out just five minutes for herself amongst the constant demands of caring for a young family feel very familiar.

 I’ve had so many of you reach out to me to say that you’d love to pop along to class ‘but’…lots of different explanations follow, all valid, all deeply personal, none of them excuses. I can remember that feeling. I can remember scrolling socials and seeing all these lovely things happening around me that were just out of reach. It’s the struggle of the juggle and we all experience it in some capacity but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t worthy of rest. 

 I really want to offer a regular space that you can nurture your body and mind, relax, breathe and connect with like minded people. The intention is to share tools to help manage the day to day demands of life with a little more ease, perhaps a little more compassion for yourself without feeling obliged to make a commitment to attend weekly classes.  

 

So what’s involved? 

  • I’ll be offering a monthly yoga class with a focus on mindful movement, breathing exercises, meditation techniques and Yoga Nidra to promote a deep sense of rest. 
  • 1 hr 30min in length to allow space for both active and passive movement of the body. This also allows space to explain and teach some of the meditation practices and breathing techniques in more detail.
