  • 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.
