In Harmony With Winter is an invitation to rest and replenish — to flow rather than push, to find strength in softness, and to trust that stillness can bring the deepest clarity.  Like water, we learn to move with life, not against it.

One of the most valuable lessons yoga has taught me is that it’s easier to flow with life’s current than to constantly swim upstream against it. This isn’t about passive acceptance — it’s about recognising what is working and releasing, or approaching differently, what is not.  Winter isn’t trying to be Summer; she carries her own quiet gifts. When we meet her where she’s at, we can open ourselves to stillness, clarity, and renewal.

What to Expect

This slow, soulful practice has evolved from over 20 years of learning — drawing from the discipline and structure of Ashtanga, blending in seasonal awareness and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, making use of mantra and mudra to soothe and settle the mind, and benefitting from the stillness of yin and restorative yoga to encourage an additional layer of comfort and balance for the mind and body. The practice will move from gentle activity to nourishing stillness, calming the nervous system and restoring inner balance.

 You can typically experience:

  • A mantra, mudra or pranayama practice to help you arrive and settle
  • Gentle somatic movement to awaken awareness in the body
  • A slow flow to balance and release energy and provide another hook for the mind
  • Yin/restorative practice using props and supports, often with the option to incorporate myofascial release, acupressure or mantra.
  • A deeply restful Yoga Nidra or Sound Bath to close — for one more layer of bliss

It should feel like a massage for the brain and body

My passion is bringing women together to support each other, ease anxiety, soothe busy minds, and nurture hormonal health through yoga. In Harmony With Winter will be a nourishing evening designed especially for women seeking calm, connection, and renewal as we move with — not against — the rhythm of winter.
