Programme for 2012
After a lovely Christmas with family and friends I have been on my own with time to develop workshops that have been percolating away in my head and in my heart.
Lots of lovely stuff, some brand new, some classics but with new ideas and thoughts in them. Just have a look and see what inspires you to help you get more out of your life. These workshops move your practise on to make Yoga become more a part of you. They make general classes more potent and lift your own understanding to a different level. You begin to know and feel what it is all about... and realise that Yoga is far, far more than just a physical workout.
We will be doing Yin again with emphasis on the season we are in.The Vinyasa workshop was so good and so popular that it too will go again, and once more with reference to how we are feeling, and the world around us, so that we work in sync. It makes a massive difference to the practise and to ourselves.
Our full day workshops will be on the Chakras, ever, ever fascinating. Through this day we discover how to enhance peace of mind, boost creativity, improve communication skills and more, all through the simple but effective chakra exercises.
...Wonderful workshop!
Of course we will be De-toxing (all that Christmas pud!) and all the darkness, ready to be open for a wonderful year of adventures. De-toxing not only our bodies, but our hearts and minds as well. We will also be having our ever popular yoga cleansing and breakfast at the Spring Equinox
Two brand new Day Courses will be:
Growing Older Beautifully and Easily.
Lovely workshop, been bubbling for quite sometime, but then inspired by my friend Vedanta, and her inspiration and mine too, Ram Dass (and his book 'Still Here'). All about appreciating and honouring our years, getting the very, very most out of them, gently, with courage and with fun. Growing older and more beautiful whatever your age, sex, shape or size.
Lots of lovely handouts
Overcome Anxiety, Depression and the
Effects of Stress Overload.
A day of yoga inspiration and techniques to help tackle these problems. This class also brilliant for teachers,
with a full manual to support the day.

These workshops have been such a delight and huge success
that they have become a regular part of our program. We will spend half of the morning doing flowing yoga, in tune with the season, and the rest of the time in glorious yin, relaxing, energising, rejuvenating. It's just the thing to keep us going, chasing away the winter blues. A Yin practise suited to this time of year is reflective, restoring, meditative, as well as boosting
energy levels.
It stretches and stimulates the deep connective yin tissues of the body, gently opening joints and thereby strengthening specific meridian lines and so allowing your own natural energy to be released. Suitable for all.
There is underfloor heating to keep muscles warm.
There will be small numbers to allow for breathing space,
Saturday 28th January 10am till 1pm. £15.00
Sunday 4th March 10am till 1pm. £15.00
Chakra Day
Your chakras - the seven intersections of energy and consciousness located along the length of your spine to the crown of your head- orchestrate all of your thoughts emotions and desires. They generate creativity and bring balance to your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. The day will combine the yoga techniques of breathing, posture work, visualisation, sound and meditation. You will discover how to enhance peace of mind, boost creativity, improve communication skills - all through these simple but effective chakra exercises.
Saturday 18th February 10am till 4pm. £30.00
Includes gorgeous organic lunch.
Two Mornings of Dynamic Vinyasa Flow Yoga
A fabulous way to get the endorphins flowing... try it. It leaves you feeling fighting fit and able to tackle everyday challenges with a new zest. We begin slowly and build up little by little (you will hardly notice) to a crescendo, finding new sources of stamina you never imagined you had, finishing with wonderful floor based postures... and then.. a well deserved relaxation... you will go so deep... it has to be experienced to be believed. - a total work out for your body, mind and spirit.
Sunday 5th February 10am till 1pm. £15.00
Sunday 29th April 10am till 1pm. £15.00
Full Day of De-toxing Yoga
Oooooh! get rid of all the darkness of winter.
Come into the light and new beginnings at this perfect time of the Spring Equinox
As we go through our lives we throw things at our body that we just expect it to deal with – a full English here, couple of beers there, mixed with medications, diet coke and whatever else we get up to. Most of this is fine, and our liver sorts it out there and then. However, on occasion, there is just too much to do, so the body puts stuff aside, meaning to come back to it later when it has a spare afternoon. Problems start to arise when there is no spare afternoon, and the backlog builds up and up. We do the same with our minds - a horror film here, worries about the world situation, family, work, health. Backlog builds and builds and the incessant chatter won't let go. Where is the peace? It really is possible to clear a path and find it in there.
Spring time is the perfect time to think about having a clear out. Spring cleaning our insides, physically, mentally and emotionally
A day of de-toxing using different techniques to clear, clean and sparkle up your digestive system. Then relaxation and cleansing breathing techniques to clear out the cobwebs in the attic of your mind... making room for fresh inspiration and ideas. You will be surprised and pleased how clean you feel inside, and so much more energy now we are released from the clutter.
Saturday 17th March 10am till 4pm. £30.00
Includes organic lunch.
Start-The-Day Yoga Clear Out
When British Summer Time begins (March 25th) is when we are having the first of our twice yearly, ‘Start-The-Day’ De-tox sessions. Short classes for early morning. Known as Laghoo, this is a practise whereby we flush, detox and clean out our intestines. We drink prepared warm, slightly salted water and drink quickly two glasses, then perform five simple stretches eight times each.
The practise encourages normal functioning of the intestines. It is an excellent yet simple method of encouraging good bowel movement. It is highly recommended for those with digestive disorders such as constipation, flatulence, acidity, indigestion, and other digestive upsets. It helps to prevent urinary infections and the formation of kidney stones. It is a splendid practise and will ‘trigger’ your energy ready for the summer. The session will take about an hour and a half including a relaxation and special nurturing kitchari for breakfast.
Sunday 25th March at 8am. £6.00
Don’t have breakfast before you come.
Growing Older Beautifully and Easily
Whatever your age, the spectre of aching joints, wear and tear, and the thought of memory loss starts to creep in. We first see it in others and wonder when it will happen to ourselves. It doesn't have to. With just a little thought and time taken we can sail through and positively enjoy the aging process. After all we have no choice, so let's make the most of it and live our lives with equanimity and pleasure. A wonderful day for people of all ages
I have studied this for a long time, and so here it is for you. Lots of lovely handouts
Saturday 31st March 10am till 4pm. £30.00
Includes a beautiful organic lunch.
Anxiety, Depression and Stress Overload
Phew! …a big one, but one that affects a lot of us, and to our detriment. I have worked in these areas a lot and have come up with a package of tools and techniques to help us cope. All this is combined in a day's workshop in a safe, comfortable and delightful environment, with a full manual provided to support the day.
Sunday 20th May 10am till 4pm. £30.00
Includes a lovely organic lunch.

Important Notice, Booking Conditions
All the above workshops are very special and offer much more than a regular weekly class. Places are limited in number to allow for more individual space, a comfortable learning environment and for individual personal attention.
They are not drop in classes and places must be booked.
A phone call or email is enough to book your place, though emails and answering machine messages will be followed up with confirmation by me. I do not require a deposit but, once a booking is confirmed, if you do not attend on the day you will be expected to pay the full amount for your unused space.
If you change your mind and are able to inform me well in advance I may be able to re-allocate your booking and you would then not be liable for payment. Otherwise the above terms will apply to all workshops and courses.
Thanks for your understanding in this matter.

Meditation:
When you need a break from the stresses of the week there is a completely substance-free way to TOTAL RELAXATION
Meditation is that Other Way
...and it's easier than your thoughts.
The cumulative effects of meditation cannot be overemphasised. We may primarily meditate to release stress, but we will, at the same time, be reaping other benefits. As the layers of stress begin to thin out, we become more in touch with ourselves, more centred, more positive and more confident. These are the by products of meditation. Without doubt, the most rewarding side effect of meditation is that it makes us happy and puts the magic back into our lives.
The first step is to learn. You won't know until you try it.
These are perfect sessions for the new or experienced meditator, and it's a great way to start the week.
I have been meditating since the early 80's and I have studied, experimented and compared techniques. I have examined their results. The ways we will be following are the most effective ones. They are natural, effortless and truly enjoyable.
Classes are at Denshaw, Near Oldham
A classes are now on MONDAYS
6.30pm till 7.30pm
£5.00 per session
With time afterwards for a cup of tea and a chat with like minded people, if you wish.
(see under 'Meditation' to download a leaflet)
All are welcome

Brand New – YogaTWO
A new, structured, Certificated Course.
The first course has started and is everything I had hoped. It would seem it is just what people are looking for... something just more than the regular yoga class, structured and nurturing and just for you. The January 2012 about to start is also full and the next one will begin in September 2012 and already has places booked. It is a very valuable course for students and teachers alike. One of the great things is being with like minded people. We have other teachers with specialist knowledge coming in too.
It will be one Saturday or Sunday per month.
Running over twelve months.
A total of 60 hours.
NEXT COURSE STARTS: September 2012
(this is already filling).
Dates will be announced within the next two weeks, but if you wish to be on this course you MUST return a booking form with deposit very soon. Places are restricted because of space so I cannot make exceptions. If, when I have arranged all the dates, you find some of them inconvenient I will return your deposit and give your place to the next student on the list. I hope everyone will understand and agree that this is the fairest system.
