Welcome to my first Newsletter!!

I have a few things to share with you over this month and next so I thought I would put it all in a fancy newsletter :)  I hope you like it.....

Covering things such as Yoga in Winter, a workshop I have coming up, a little taste of Xmas shopping I am offering, a recipe, and our Yoga classes up until Dec 20th.

Enjoy!

As we move into Winter, and it really is getting cold isn't it?! It's so important to keep wrapped up & warm, but also to keep moving! We naturally want to slow down on our exercise, increase our sleeping and sofa time, (hibernation would be good!) and we often meet Winter with some resistance. It's not as fun as the summer, or a bright and colourful as the Spring & Autumn but there are still many things we can learn from and enjoy during the later months of the year.

With the cold weather we also crave bigger heartier meals too which can have a tendency to make us feel sluggish. 
So we need to keep moving and create our own internal fire & warmth. 
Our Yoga practices will be adapted to keep us moving to alleviate sluggishness, detoxifying the body, and keeping our immune system boosted throughout the colder months. November is a great time to take a step back - relax a little, slow down, and get yourself mentally & physically prepared for December. No matter how hard we try, we all end up with overly packed schedules, a few too many parties, and no time to stop and relax until after Xmas when we are all craving a detox!

So if you are like me, a very busy person, doing as much as you can in a day, join me in making a little down time for yourself this month before we hit the December toboggan straight toward Xmas day....!



 
FOLDING INTO WINTER
Workshop
With Laura & Bailey
Red Hot Yoga
Thursday 27th November
7pm - 9pm


My good friend Bailey & I are putting on a workshop this month, and would love it if you could join us! 
Bailey has taught some of you when covering my classes, and we are really excited to be putting on this workshop together.


As we fold into Winter, we need to pay extra attention to our immune system, and our vital energies – especially the kidney energy which needs to be nourished and protected.

Asana practice for this includes flowing sun salutations, gentle back bends, long forward folds and deep relaxation.

Let Bailey and Laura guide you through a winter evening of flowing vinyasa, interwoven with steady holds to stoke your internal fire. This workshop will flow to music, and we will move through twists to help alleviate sluggishness, and deep forward folds to relax your mind.

Ending the practice with a long relaxing savasana to really allow your body to rejuvenate, and be nourished from your practice letting your senses draw inward.

Blankets are provided to keep you snug during your relaxation, but please bring some clothing to keep yourself warm and cosy when you leave the class.

All levels welcome.

Fee £20

Some of you may know I also run a craft business under the name of 'Lolly & Pearl'
I have always loved making things, and 2 years ago, turned my hobby into a small business. This year I have made some Yoga straps & purses from Indian trimming I picked up on my travels, lavender eye pillows (great for Savasana!) Lavender heat bags, and some 2015 diaries amongst other bits - great for Xmas gifts!!

Some of my frames are on the wall in the studio, and I also do personalised wedding & baby frames to order.
You can see everything on my website at:
