Exciting events coming up - weekend retreats in North Wales; as well as workshops and classes in Chester and Hawarden.

Join us for Yoga and Brunch at the Storyhouse, in Chester city centre.

Following on from the success of the posture-enhancing workshop held at the Women’s Weekend Festival back in March 2024, we’ll be hosting these once monthly classes.

The first yoga and brunch session will take place on Sunday 28 April 2024 - now SOLD OUT and the second date is on Sunday 19 May.

The main thing I see mostly in women is an arched lower back. Essentially this arched lower back is due to a very strong, tight lower back and without addressing the underlying causes this will continue to get stronger and tighter and eventually lead to lower back pain. The lower back muscles are basically pulling the pelvis upwards from the back so we end up with this forward pelvic tilt, which then causes other problems throughout the body, which may even show up before the lower back pain kicks in. 

This week we celebrated Lilian’s 91st birthday at Gladstone’s Library. She’s been doing yoga for about 7 years and she joins in with the whole class! She can lift and hold her body weight with two hands on the ground! Now, that’s strength! She’s an absolute trooper, a joy to have in our classes and proof that yoga really is for all ages!

Going on a yoga retreat offers a multitude of benefits that extend beyond the physical practice of yoga. Here are several compelling reasons why you should consider embarking on one of my wonderful weekend yoga retreats.

We’ve got some exciting yoga events coming up in March.

We’re kicking off March with some exciting one-off events, including yoga at the Storyhouse in Chester and also a free open day event in Hawarden.

New Sunday dates have been released for Jaunty Goat yoga too for April and May; with an extra date in March.

Don’t forget our brand new yoga flow class at 10am on Thursdays at the stunning creative space that is oH Foundation on Bridge St, Chester.

So how’s it going so far for you?

In life, in general? With your health and longevity? Does anyone else feel like they should have just let January be?

I always find January to be an odd (albeit long) month.

Join us from 1st Feb 2024 for a brand new regular weekly physical flow yoga class every Thursday at 10am in Chester.

We’re back at oH Foundation on Bridge Street in Chester.

In colder months we can typically retreat indoors. However, time spent outdoors in nature can be a great way to boost the mind and body, as well as the immune system. Experiencing natural sunlight can boost your mood and productivity.

Join us for another restorative wellness day on the beautiful Hawarden Estate. Winter is a time for rest, relaxation, and introspection. It's a time to slow down, connect with nature, and nurture our bodies and minds. We’re taking our popular retreat days away at The Walled Garden School into the next season.

In our busy and stressful lives, it can be difficult to find time to relax and de-stress. But it's important to make time for relaxation, as it can have a number of benefits for our physical and mental health.

One way to relax is through non-sleep deep rest (NSDR). NSDR is a state of deep relaxation that is similar to sleep, but you remain awake and aware. During NSDR, your brain waves slow down and your body enters a state of rest and repair.

Join us for another restorative yoga day in the stunning Walled Garden School, Hawarden, North Wales. This beautiful, undercover space allows us to be at one with nature, with gorgeous views of the walled gardens; as we move our body through various yoga styles; breathe in oxygen with some useful breathing techniques and give our minds the space and rest they may need. We’ll be treated to a delicious lunch provided by the Hawarden Estate Farmshop to help us refuel before enjoying a more thought-conscious and restorative sessions to end the well-deserved day away.

We’re hiring! We have an exciting opportunity for a chef/sous chef to join us on our plant-based yoga weekend retreat. We are looking for someone to join us on two weekends; June and September 2023, at an eco site in Corwen.
