A softer practice combining breathwork, gentle movement, and relaxation. With a combination of seated, standing, and floor based poses, you can expect to move slowly between postures and create space in the mind and body. Perfect for beginners, those working with injuries, or anyone wanting to slow things down and have a nice stretch out.

Each session is structured to include playtime, craft, a story and songs, which many of the parents have said that they appreciate as this encourages everyone to interact and provides a range of engaging activities for the babies and toddlers. There is a break for drinks and snacks too!

Each week brings new and traditional songs, listening music, instrument time and lots of smiles and laughter as we make and enjoy music together. All classes are are small and friendly with no more than 10 families in a class. This allows quality time for children and adults to grow in confidence and enjoy each others company. Each week we build on the skills and songs we have learnt in the term. Classes follow the school terms and are usually 6 weeks per half term.

Classes are taught with clear guidance while encouraging you to listen to your body and practice in a way that works for you. Options are offered, making my classes suitable for beginners and those with more experience alike.

Expect a calm, welcoming atmosphere where you can move, breathe and unwind at your own pace.

All welcome.

A gong bath, also known as a Sound Bath or a Sound Massage is a fully clothed, relaxing, and blissful experience where you bathe in the healing sound waves, no water involved, and no clothes removed! You simply lie down on a mat, wrap yourself in a blanket, place your head on a pillow, close your eyes and relax. The session normally lasts an hour.

The more comfortable you are the better the experience. Bringing a blanket is most important as your body temperature can drop quite suddenly when you are fully relaxed and feeling cold will spoil the experience. Most people love the gong bath and go away feeling deeply relaxed and often feeling lighter and brighter in themselves, often reporting back that they had the best nights sleep ever!

A perfect opportunity to de-stress, take time out, relax, mediate, rejuvenate, and enjoy the power of the sound waves which enhance the relaxed state.

The gong is the ultimate sound healing tool, as it has the broadest range of tones of any instrument. This vast range of sound literally bathes the human form and re-tunes us on every level, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, thus helping to bring us back to harmony. I bring in various layers of sounds and use other instruments to complement the gongs. I work in a very intuitive way so each sound bath can feel different to the last.

Come along and experience this treat for your mind, body, and soul.

These practices are not just lying down, through longer-held, supported postures, breath, and meditation this type of practice works deep into the body’s connective tissues and energy pathways, creating space, release, and restoration.

During the autumn and winter months these sessions will be lit by fairy lights and candle light and will conclude with a warm drink, leaving you nourished, grounded, and ready for the week ahead.

Free taster session for all
