Mindful Flow – coming soon!
9:30-10:30am
Mindful Flow with Rupert Eyles. Each class becomes its own original story. We’ll drift into our bodies and follow a steady arc, often tying in a crescendo of twists and balances to deepen self-acquaintance, before moving to hold a pose or two for longer, and rest.
We’ll focus on cultivating greater self-compassion, softening to strengthen body and mind, and decluttering within to create space for the true self to bloom. You’ll be equipped with plenty of options along the way, tuning inward to consider what would serve you.
Rupert has been been deepening his practices of self-enquiry over the past 10 years with a variety of teachers and ashrams in the US and India, coupled with channelling self-reflection through writing. After years of practice, I completed my Hatha, Vinyasa, and Bhakti teacher training in Thailand.
Rupert is a Director of Wellbeing for a health and fitness app, and leans on his communications experience to support mental health charities.
The cost of this class is £14 drop in or 6 classes for £72 (please note that the 6 classes must be taken within a two month period from purchase date).

Yoga for Stress – ONLINE
1-2pm
This class will help release deep-seated tension, sometimes long held and so engrained in one’s physique, that it is often unnoticed until an issue/problem arises.
Using the breath and increasing awareness in movement and asanas (yoga postures) this tension can be let go of, so the body can open, the breath can restore and the mind can settle and clear. From here the work in strengthening, integrating and harmonising the mind, body and breath begins.
Audrey has been teaching yoga since 2002 and practicing since 1985 and is qualified in the tradition of Krishnamacharya, as well as holding a British Wheel of Yoga diploma. She is influenced and inspired by John Stirk, Vanda Scaravelli, and TKV Desikachar.

The cost of this class is £14 drop in or 6 classes for £72 (please note that the 6 classes must be taken within a two month period from purchase date).
