A soothing mini retreat with mindful movement - based in pilates, restorative meditation and journaling to bring an mmm to your weekend

Peace and Pilates - Awaken your Joy

Join us at Goring Heath Village Hall for a relaxing mini 'retreat' for mind and body.

Enjoy the calming and strengthening power of mindful movement based on Pilates, alongside the soothing and unwinding power of meditation, connection and reflection.

This event aims to help you find a space of inner peace, friendship and support and to be nurtured in this month's theme of finding calm in the chaos

Be supported and soothed on this journey with like-minded women.

As we reach the Christmas busy season, this session is an invitation to slow down, enjoy time for you and discover the power of pausing as a reset in the 'noise' and chaos of this time of year.

Together you'll be guided through the thoughts, feelings and emotions that Winter and the approach of Christmas can bring up, while enabling you to awaken your inner peace and outer joy, while moving your body gently - yet effectively.

Peace & Pilates is a monthly relaxation and movement session to restore a sense of peace to mind and body, and nurture your spirit away from your troubles, whatever your body is feeling like!

You've heard of yoga and meditation, Liisa and Judy bring a fresh alternative: Peace and Pilates. Whether you are new to meditation or pilates, or an expert, this session has something for all to soothe away worries, with conscious movement and meditation and reflective journaling.

Liisa has particular skill in supporting women recovering from injury to rediscover strength and help you to find ways to ease pain. Liisa will tailor each movement piece to your ability to gently stretch and awaken you from overthinking. Enjoy this peace to stretch, breathe, and unwind together!

Judy uses her skills in meditation, reiki and energy healing to help you find a space of peace in the busy-ness of your mind.

Together this session aims to help you find an inner power and an inner peace - you perhaps didn't realise was waiting for you!
