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

Peace and Pilates - Mindset Menopause

Join us at the small barn, Purley on Thames for a relaxing mini 'retreat' for mind and body on Saturday 7th November.

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 menopause and the power of developing your mindset to help you manage the additional anxiety this change of life phase can bring.

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

Together you'll be guided through the thoughts, feelings and emotions that come up in perimenopause and menopause. Discover how calling your mind back to a place of calm can help improve sleep and brain fog and explore how gentle yet effective movement can feel like true nourishment for your body.

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!
