Thrive Studio Chester -Functional Yoga, Pilates & Breathwork

Friday evening chill out ~ A relaxing evening sessions for those who have been wanting to do a little qigong but unable to join my day session! Open to book on the schedule now 🍃

Beginners Yoga Course 🧘🏽 thought I’d offer this 3 week course for anyone wanting to start but likewise for anyone wanting a little commitment for a couple of weeks or wants to go back to basics and practice some simple no fluff yoga.
👉🏼 Booking open on the schedule now or DM for direct link!

As I have been away on holiday this week, and next weeks Tue 6.30pm is already full, I am putting on a later class straight after at 7.45pm. Book now on the schedule!

Reminder - Yoga is not just an hour for your body to stretch but an hour away from everything that over stretches your mind 💆🏻‍♀️ sometimes we really need to put ourselves in an environment where we can leave the phone outside and just be.

As it’s a little quieter over summer, for my evening sessions I just have Tuesdays 6.30pm on - still some spaces for tonight left!

October Retreat 🪷 a lovely relaxed weekend in a beautiful location, surrounded by nature! Ohhh and lots of time to practice yoga and qigong! 5 spaces left, single and shared rooms available, drop me a message with any questions or if you’d be interested to join us ☀️

October Retreat Weekend 🌿 now taking bookings! My retreat is limited to 12/13 guest to keep it an intimate and cozy environment where we can chat and get to know each other as well as enjoy time alone to relax.
After Feb’s winter retreat I couldn’t wait to secure my Autumn dates. I think it’s a great time for transitioning out of the busy summer and into the autumn months. The weather should be lovely for some exploring too!! The location is a beautiful house where me and Reiss have stayed as guest the last few year so I’m excited to come back to host!
Drop me a DM with any questions or if you are interested to book a space!

Ohhhh we can learn so much from trees 🌳 in Chinese Medicine & Qigong spring correlates with the WOOD element, representing the importance of nourishing our roots, building strength and stability so we can grow, be creative, expand. However we must do so mindfully and not throw ourselves into things too quickly, we must cultivate the growth into spring gradually.
Looking forward to exploring this tomorrow at our Reatorative Spring Morning ☀️I have had a few enquiries for an evening session, and I think I would like to offer a spring qigong session towards end of April, likely a Thurs or Friday evening, maybe online too! Drop me a comment if you’d be interested :)

Hope you are all making some time for this this Easter - I need to! I’ve not stopped since 7.30am, cooking, cleaning, house jobs… 😅🤦🏻‍♀️ not sure how that has happened and it’s now 3.15pm 🤷🏻‍♀️ time to chill now!

Hurray for light evenings again! Yoga tonight 6pm 🌿 Come join for a little bit of hip strength/stability work ⚒

🌿Testimonial: 1:1 Breathing Therapy🌿 — This client approached me struggling with an asthma flare-up accompanied by distressing symptoms like coughing attacks and breathlessness, triggering panic and disrupting sleep (in addition to reduced day to day quality of life).

In just two sessions, we gained control over the situation and, most importantly, gained insight into the underlying issues.

Too often, fear and overwhelm come from uncertainty about the root cause and the appropriate course of action. Understanding the cycle empowered her to relax, equipped with the knowledge of how to manage it.

🤯Today, information overload can make navigating health challenges feel like walking over a minefield. However, I'm here to guide you through and simple interventions can give remarkable results in a short space of time!

💡Reach out for a friendly chat if you're curious or struggling with symptoms related to breathing, asthma, snoring, sleep issues, or panic attacks. I'm here to help!

I have a couple of space in my two weekly daytime classes, which have a therapeutic approach suitable for an older audience or anyone with pain or injury to work with. Ideal for those seeking to enhance confidence and refine movement skills, including balance, coordination, and flexibility. These sessions focus on nurturing the mind and body with mindful movement and gentle breathing practices.

4 spaces left 🌿 APRIL 7 ☀️ let’s welcome the spring with a lovely relaxing morning of self care practices to help our body shift mindfully into the new season.
Book via schedule or drop me a DM :)

Got that Friday feeling? I have 🍃
We will be welcoming spring in the next restorative yoga, qigong & sound session (with Bev) is April 7th (10am) a couple of hours of nourishing restorative practices, spaces are starting to get booked!

🌿 Qigong & Tai Chi 🌿 Thursdays 12.30pm - 1.30pm (£10)
This practice builds skill and control in movement and breath. Improving total body awareness and proprioception, translating to better movement and awareness in life. The bi product is a sense of relaxed presence, a calm and quiet mind and vitality. People are often surprised that it’s not as ‘easy’ as they thought, but it is very accessible to anyone as it is practiced to your body and range.
Come give it a try. No, it’s not just for old people, I assure you!!

Pssst….You are probably going to feel a bit stiff this week. Yup…..
After a couple weeks out of routine, maybe more time in bed or on the sofa, or overcome an illness, you are likely going to feel a wee bit stiff and tight….And that is totally fine!!!
What’s important is that you don’t stay stagnant for too long, and that you dust yourself off and get back to it. Accepting the extra tightness or weakness as just a natural part of the body and life’s flows up and down 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m stiff AF this week and making my way back!
