Join me for an extended practice at The Oak House, a beautiful yoga studio set in the heart of the grounds at Hatfield House (just 20/25 mins on the train from Finsbury Park or Kings Cross, London).

Bringing mindfulness and compassion to the heart of our yoga practice transforms it into a place of refuge. Rather than being a space for performance or perfection it offers a safe haven for care and connection, regardless of how we are feeling.  

So often the demands of life mean that our energy and awareness are cast outwardly into the world. We all need moments when our care and attention can fall back on ourselves. Rather than our practice being yet another thing we need to ‘do’ it offers us precious space to ‘be’, to breathe, to listen and tend to our varying needs. 

Through this half day retreat we will explore how qualities of mindful awareness (e.g. openness, patience, non-judgment, acceptance, equanimity, kindness) can enhance our yoga practice. Through both slow, flowing movement, breathwork, meditation and restorative rest, we will explore ways of cultivating self-compassion before extending this quality of kindness back out into the world.

Those attending will leave with a range of simple practices that we can carry with us from the mat into where it really matters, our everyday lives.

Please note that this workshop is accessible to people of all levels of experience and those new to yoga are most welcome. The venue has all the props you will need so that we can feel held by bolsters and wrapped in the softness of blankets as we drop into stillness in the afternoon. Just come as you are and offer yourself some breathing space.

While the session will begin at 14.00, those attending are most welcome to arrive earlier and spend time exploring the beautiful grounds and independent shops at Hatfield House. Please note that access to the grounds is at an additional cost but a group entry can be arranged for those able to meet at The Oak House at 13.00.

Places are £50 and I have 2 discounted places at £30 for people who are unable to pay the full price.
