🧘‍♀️ 1-2-1 Yoga Classes 🧘‍♀️

Excitingly, I’ve got capacity to take on a new 1-2-1 client 🤩

There are so many reasons why a 1-2-1 setting may be a great option for you:

🧘‍♀️ you have some specific strength, mobility, flexibility goals

🧘‍♀️ there are postures and transitions you are working towards that focussed tuition can unlock for you

🧘‍♀️ you’d like to dive deeper into the practice of yoga, than attending a group class can facilitate

🧘‍♀️ you’d like to establish a breathwork or meditation practice but aren’t sure how to start

🧘‍♀️ you’d like to have a bespoke hour for yourself, to breath, move and or meditate your way to personal bliss

Most of my 1-2-1 clients are incredible humans who have been with me for many years now; it’s such a privilege to support their practice and witness how far they’ve come (a couple of them have had lovely things to say about it too - quoted in the pics above) 💪🏻💥✨🤗

So if any of this sounds appealing, drop me a DM…

…whether you’re looking for a one off treat or a regular, weekly session… I can’t wait to go on this journey with you 🧘‍♀️

‘’When we learn to soften, we
respond to our pain from a place of ease. We acknowledge the pain we hold,
but we soften the grip, cradle our struggles and try not to attach to them.
We forgive—ourselves, others—and find the path towards peace.’’
Hania Khuri-Trapper

Let’s try and soften this week and find the ease in our practice, you may be surprised at how much further this can take you 🧘‍♀️

Get out there and soak up all that delicious Prana this week… the forecast is 🙌🏻☀️ & it’s a great way to charge up for in prep for incoming autumn 🍂

September is all about tapping into earth magic 🪄 with a pretty hefty seven planets RX this month we should lean into that re-trograde energy and use it for re-rooting, re-booting, re-establishing our foundations and getting real about the right routines and practical steps we need to put in place for bodies, hearts and minds, to help us to the end of the year.

🍂 Equinox Day Retreat 🌿

To celebrate the Autumn Equinox I’m running a retreat day on 22nd September: 10am - 3pm

It’s an opportunity to take a day to reset and restore yourselves, before we move into winter.

Approximate schedule is below:

1000: arrive
1030 -1200: mantra, vinyasa yoga & meditation
1200 -1245: light lunch box & refreshments (vegetarian)
1245 -1315: woodland walk
1315pm -1430: sound bath
1445/1500: goodbyes

The venue is situated in a beautiful spot in the Surrey Hills, which despite not being too far away, feels like we’re totally away from our everyday, immersed in nature and the wonderful Lucy will be treating you all to a delicious sound bath… this should all make for a super nourishing seasonal reset.

It’s been designed to fit in around the school day so I’m hoping this makes it accessible for most.

Lapping up all the late Leo ♌️ vibes this ☀️day

It’s such a treat to share these Sunday mornings with you guys 🙏🏻❤️

This will be such a fab retreat at the barn - you’ll leave rebalanced and restored, details below 😊

Repost from

Rest and Relaxation, Ritual and Reset - for everyone who needs a little more R & R in their life!!

Gently weaving Ayurvedic-inspired practice into a full ‘retreat from the world’ day; leave having calmed ‘Pitta’ heat in the body after the summer, and ready to embrace ‘Vata’ season. Prepare both body and mind for the seasonal change by nurturing yourself with oil self-massage and building confidence in how to maintain energy levels for the winter.

Here at The Barn, we create space to be in nature, to discover peace and calm within yourself and a connectedness with others. In the middle of the serene rolling hills of the Denbies Vineyard we offer a leading hub of expertise in body and mind wellbeing. Leading teachers in our field, we skilfully weave our health-care knowledge base into our inspiring Pilates and Yoga fusion classes, teaching you techniques to elongate and tone the body while you breathe, mobilize, and energize the body inside and out.

We then combine Ayurvedic education on diet, lifestyle, and self-massage with a deeply relaxing and soothing sound bath. The day is completed with a freshly prepared light Indian meal and herbal tea for the ultimate feel-good experience.

Come join our next My Space Ayurvedic Retreat Day with and on Sunday 17th September 10am to 3pm. Click the link in our bio to book.
