The Strong Yogini

🌞Summertime Yoga + Brunch🌞

Join me on the first official day of British summertime for an expansive Yoga, pranayama and meditation practice followed by a delicious homemade and locally sourced brunch. In the most exquisite location just on the outskirts of Bedford, we have access to rolling fields and a gorgeous meadow space as well as a stunning 14th century barn to practice in, its breathtaking.

After gathering an offering from our surroundings (or something you’ve brought with you) for our co-created altar that is blessed with all the hopefulness and sense of gratitude that summer brings, we will journey through a dynamic 90 minute asana practice followed by a grounding meditation into savasana. For those who wish to receive my touch with essential oils i will be giving hands on assists to throughout the practice as well as during your stillness at the end with the intention to deepen your experience.

Following our practice we can take a barefoot stroll through the meadow to connect to the earth once more and enjoy our wholesome brunch together either sat on the earth under the sunshine or back in the barn where we practiced.

These lands are sacred and the work carried out here is a devotion to mother earth herself. Sustainability and eco conscious movement at the forefront, Rush Matters create bespoke, handmade rush products on a global as well as local scale. We will be lucky enough to peek at the most recent creations in their fully functioning workshop. I cannot think of a more divine setting for our practice.

Message me directly to book your space, all are welcome, yoga is for every body.

Lots of love, Hannah :)

I'm coming to Bedfordshire to hold space for anyone who feels like they want/crave community... and yoga of course! Join me for this afternoon into early evening of vinyasa style practice with a playful theme (invoking laughter and light spirit) progressing into a deep release Yin yoga practice for the second half and all of this rounded off with a lengthy savasana which I will incorporate essential oil touch into.

I've invited some incredible people to cook us a delicious and wholesome curry (veggie and vegan) to share and enjoy over conversations and connections after practice too (how delicious!)

All of this takes place in one of the most sacred and special places that's grown to be for me over the years, headquarters. Lots of you know felicity from yoga and she has kindly given us exclusive access to her beautiful barn and workshop (a rare chance to sneak peak the incredible work this team do!).

So, message me to book in if you fancy it. Limited spaces and on a first come first served basis. I cannot wait to see you there ❤️

Love and hugs, han # #

*please note, due to the nature of this event (needing numbers for the catering) it is non refundable. You may transfer your space to someone else should you not be able to make it.

Happening in the most beautiful location in nature with lots of undercover space available too- this is set to be a beautiful day, connecting to practice, breath and the community.

I am blessed to have friends with very special spaces for us to take our practice to and this one is the meadow on the grounds of just 10 mins drive from Bedford (and a 25 min cycle!)❤️

Enjoy idyllic views whilst upside down and the sound of birds and the breeze in nidra. It couldn't be more perfect for what I have lined up.

Get in touch if you'd like to book your space for one or both of these, £30 each or £50 for both. Snacks and tea on hand to replenish and bring a packed lunch for a picnic in the meadow if you fancy it (no obligation to hang around!)

Big love,

Summer solstice celebration: connection to nature.

I am so inspired to bring you this evening gathering where we will be pulling together the elements we associate with the nature around us but also that which we recognise inside of us. Also celebrated as international yoga day, I wanted to honour this ancient practice, loved by so many, by creating something for us to share outside of the usual asana focus and I saw this as an opportunity to connect to a few of the other layers of such a divine lifelong practice.

This is an invitation for you to grab your blanks, cushions and all the sacred smoke/candles/crystals to build yourself an altar as an offering to mark the shift into midsummer. Ideally, this practice will be taken outside somewhere in nature but if that’s not available to you then join with the windows open, light and air streaming in to support this gentle journey.

We will open the space with a lengthy connection to the breath followed by a short meditation. This will lead us to be able to explore and expand this auspicious moment of the year and what it means to us. Journaling here will be offered (optional) as something you wish to explore as a way of processing thoughts that arise.

I will guide you through a deeply restorative yoga Nidra practice to conclude our time together and if you can be with your body on the earth outside for this, incredible.

This offering is open to anyone and everyone, no prior exposure to the above necessary. Just show up and allow yourself to be held.

Date: Tuesday 21st June 2022
Time 7:30pm (90n mins appx)
Location: Zoom
Investment: £18

Upon payment I will send you a zoom link and prep in the lead up will be made available. No refunds available, you may transfer your space to someone else should you not be able to make it.

I am so looking forward to celebrating with you.

Big Love,

Hannah # #

✨Arm Balance workshop with Eimear✨

The lovely Eimear is coming back in April for a two hour discovery of different arm balances and how we can get into them with our bodies!

Arm balances are such fun and exciting poses, but they can feel scary or impossible without an understanding of how best to do them. Join Eimear for this 2-hour workshop where she will break down a range of arm balances into manageable steps and teach you the most efficient ways to do them. We will start by moving through creative flows that incorporate key strengthening and flexibility exercises to prepare the body for the arm balances to come. We will then work on several popular and more unusual arm balances, and possibly even ways to transition from one arm balance to another. There will be something for everyone, with basic and more advanced variations. Expect to learn lots, challenge yourself and have lots of fun!

✨Inversions workshop with Eimear Kelly✨

I am excited to announce that we have a guest teacher coming to share her wealth of knowledge on turning upside down in yoga! I know you're all gonna love her style + delivery with such superb 1:1 adjustments too!

"Inversions are exciting and fun poses, but they can also be scary and challenging to master without an understanding of how to work on them. In this 2-hour workshop Eimear will break down what you need to know to balance in headstand, forearm stand and handstand!

We will begin the workshop with a range of drills to work on building the strength, mobility and flexibility you need for inversions. This preparation is key to helping you create a solid foundation on which to practice the skill of balancing upside down.

You will learn good technique for headstand, forearm stand and handstand, and the best ways to work on these poses as an individual depending on your unique range of motion and strength/stability. So this is not a one way fits all system, but a more individual approach!

We'll explore how to get over your fear of these poses, and how to continue your inversion practice after this workshop. Whether you have never balanced upside down before, or you're more experienced, Eimear will provide you with lots of helpful tips and tricks to progress with your inversions. Expect to work hard, learn lots and have lots of fun!

Open to all levels except complete beginners. "

Reclaiming softness- a journey back to the heart of you.

Join me for an afternoon infused with practices which will hold your hand as we lead ourselves back to the softer spaces within us, which all too often become guarded in this busy and demanding world. This mini retreat from the bustling outside world will gently ease open your edges and soften your heart allowing you access to a more feminine energy that lives within us all.

I want to invite you to strip back all that is harsh and hardening you to come into a candlelit oasis surrounded by luscious green oxygen giving plants, essential oils imbuing the air you breathe and warmth cloaking your very being. Spending this afternoon together as we journey from where we are to where we shall be through an expansive breathwork + meditation journey, essential oil support, restoration via yoga asana practice (a blend of pelvic floor focus/gentle vinyasa), a deep rest in supported relaxation with heated eye masks as well as a beautiful ceremony of tea before we depart. Upon waking the next day you’ll have received guided support by way of a mini practice that you can keep forever and do as many times over as you like to assist your integration process.

As always, my doors and heart are open to everyone and anyone regardless of experience of any of the practices above, I welcome you all with a heartfelt knowing that you will land here if this is where you’re meant to be. Suitable for pregnancy as well as post partum too.

If the above sounds like something you’d like to dive into, drop me a message I would love to chat. Spaces will be limited and on a first come first served basis.

You'll learn new tools for navigating life, develop physical and mental strength and suppleness as well as have the chance to immerse yourselves in the many branches of yoga and what the practice has to offer.

As it's the festive season approaching and we will all be investing in many mince pies and lots of hot chocolate, I'll be offering you to secure your space for this month of joy in either one instalment of £60 or two instalments (November + December) of £30. If you're already an unlimited member but would like to be involved in this, let me know and I'll put your name on the board, if you're an unlimited small group PT + Yoga you also can jump onto this included in your membership by letting me know.

All of this is in aid of us raising enough money for a defibrillator to have here on site and any leftover money to be put towards a team first aid refresher for all staff. The wheels were in motion and plans set for this event before we had one of our own have a cardiac arrest during the beginning of their training session. It was thanks to the fast acting and well trained staff on site that responded immediately that this wasn’t a fatal incident. It has brought it home to all of us how vital it is in these times to have this potentially life saving piece of kit on hand, and would be a welcome addition to our gym/yoga studio.

This is why we have pulled out all the stops and managed to gather some incredible prizes that are up for grabs in our raffle! There are no limits on tickets, and anyone can buy one even if they aren’t a regular face at The Fit Co- get your friends and family involved here too!

Beginners Yoga Course

Fancy trying yoga but feel nervous jumping into an established class? Not sure what all the talk is about breathwork/meditation and would like to go a little deeper into these realms to see if it could be part of your life too? Know that you should really be working on your flexibility but need to be in a class setting to make sure you do? Then I reckon this course could be for you….

Join me for a 6 week dive into the practice of yoga and many of its teachings. You’ll have the chance to join via zoom or live in the room each week as we explore a physical yoga practice (vinyasa, Yin, ashtanga) as well as the more restorative practices such as breath work, meditation and talk about the roots of yoga as well as what all these words/names mean in relation to your practice. This is an opportunity to not just ‘do yoga’ but in fact find out what your body needs to make it feel like a safe and nourishing practice for you.

Every Monday night, for one hour at 7:30pm we will gather in The Yoga Room (Inside the Fit Co on Dane street, Bedford) as well as on Zoom at the same time. If you choose to practice from home you won’t need any props/yoga kit but I will suggest certain household items you can bring into practice to assist you! In the studio we have mats/props to borrow.

Course Starts on Monday 18th October for 6 weeks until and including 22nd November. Investment for this course is £60pp and even if you choose to join live in the room, I will still send the recording to you the next day so that you can repeat the practice as many times as you wish before the next week! You'll also have the whole collection of the recorded contented for up to 1 month after the course finishes to continue your practice at this level and get even more comfortable with yoga.

Message me to grab your space as I am keeping these limited for this pocket of joy.

Big Love,

Hannah # # # # # #

Breathwork + Deep Rest

Join in this 90 minute container exclusively curated for a deep dive into the many layers of breathwork and why rest and reset is so crucial to our nervous system… and our lives!

Lovingly carved from my most recent daily experiences with different breathwork and healing modalities I wanted to bring a space of stillness and calm to the yoga room. This has been fundamental for me in allowing myself the space to bring a calm, centred feeling to both my asana practice as well as my day to day life and I want to share this work with you.

I will guide you through multiple breathwork practices after a grounding meditation which will serve as the opener to allow you to drop in to your body and mind. We will eventually end up in a slow and restorative yoga Nidra, with eyes lightly covered, allowing you to soak up the benefits of the work you’ve done and your nervous system to down regulate.

If this sounds dreamy to you, drop me a message and I will book you in. Spaces are limited, first come, first served.

Date: Friday 13th August
Time: 7-8:30pm
