"Ragmans Farm matters.  Hugely.  It has developed over the years into a unique resource, a unique teaching venue, and a unique 'living classroom' for those who want to learn about permaculture and sustainable land use. 

In these times of climate change, resource depletion and economic downturn, Ragmans offers a model for a different approach for rural communities, one based on diversity, entrepreneurship, reskilling and a reconnection to land. 

Over the past 15 years, Ragmans has led by example, working hard, trying new things and experimenting.  Not everything has worked, but this is the vital niche that the pioneer fills, and we owe them a huge debt of gratitude.  The future will have much to learn from Ragmans, and much to thank it for".

  • Seasonal Yoga Sundays

    28th April 2018 at Ragmans Lane Farm

    (and 8th July, 23rd September, 18th November)

    How can our yoga practice truly nourish the changing needs of our body when our energy ebbs and flows on the tides of the inner and outer seasons of our lives?

    This is an invitation to take 'time out' each season and restore your vitality through yoga. An opportunity to enjoy a relaxed day of yoga practices which support the energy of the time of year.

    Starting with Spring we look for our yoga to nourish and re-awaken us, gently opening the body and releasing the tightness that winter can leave stored in us These Sunday sessions can be 'standalone' or combine to offer a yogic journey through the seasonal year.

    Ali’s teaching asks us to be curious about finding a practice to meet our ever-changing needs. Her teaching style is inclusive, encouraging a wide range of students to find a practice which brings them the riches of Yoga. Seeking to infuse her teaching with the wisdom that we are woven into the fabric of nature and its cyclical wisdom (not separate from it) you will be encouraged to claim a yoga practice that leaves you feeling rejuvenated and replenished!

    Ali has trained with Maarten Vermaase of the BWY, and her teaching style is influenced by the work of Uma Dinsmore- Tuli and Kate Ellis. Ali teaches regularly in the Forest, runs workshops and residential weekends.
