An afternoon of gorgeous deep rest and relaxation, time for YOU to take some important me-time. Leave feeling calm and rested.

Join me for my October Slow Saturday Mini Retreat.

Come and find some calm as we transition into Autumn. Taking time to ground, nourish and nurture yourself is so important. As the season turns to grounding Autumn energy this can be a perfect time to pause and reset.

Lets gather at the gorgeous Stables Yoga Centre in York. A sanctuary of calm and a beautiful light filled space, and taking some time for yourself to pause, rest and reset. This "Slow Saturday" mini retreat is gentle yet powerful, an opportunity to slow down, pause, and unwind. We will systematically move, stretch, breathe and deeply relax, setting you up for the week ahead. Allowing you to come into your parasympathetic nervous system, and dial down your bodys stress response. Ensuring you are putting yourself first (for once) and you feel just brilliant.

The afternoon will be a blend of gentle soothing slow-flowing postures, stretches, and longer held Restorative yoga and Yin yoga postures, along with simple yet effective breathing techniques to restore balance and calm. We'll end with a beautiful deep guided relaxation (called a yoga nidra). Accompanied by a beautiful gentle soundscape, aromatherapy oils and beautiful soothing light to add to the feeling of tranquility and restfulness in this most lovely space of The Stables Yoga Centre.

Come and look after yourself with some yoga 'me-time'. Modern life can be busy and stressful and we can often find ourselves running on empty with racing minds and exhausted bodies, unaware of how to really switch off. Taking some me-time can feel like an unavailable luxury. But the reality is that when we are fully rested our body heals, our minds find clarity and our sense of energy and vitality is restored.

This sumptuously long yoga session will leave you feeling nourished and rejuvenated, deeply rested, and with greater calm, clarity and vitality. Come along and press the pause button, and enjoy some well earned me-time.

Suitable for all levels of yoga practice. Beginners and those totally new to yoga are very welcome. Pregnant and postnatal women also very welcome and adaptions made to suit you. Please contact me before booking with any injuries or illnesses you want to discuss.

Time: 2.30pm to 5pm

Location: Stables Yoga Studio, 10A Nunmill St, York YO23 1NU.

I look forward to seeing you.
