The movement to Autumn invites a time to let go of the abundant, outward moving energy of Summer and to clear space in our days to breathe, appreciate and reflect

On my recent Yoga Retreats with two wonderful groups of Yogis…Something that came up as a common theme was the conversations around comfort. Interestingly it was often around general comfort almost apart from the Yoga practices themselves.

The practices of Yoga asana invites us to meet the “uncomfortable”.
We don’t practice to be uncomfortable - in fact we want to ensure our practice does not cause us harm and discomfort which is closer to pain is a signal to listen closely to. However we are looking to challenge ourselves to develop and improve our resilience both physically and mentally. This is why we might always be looking to add or tease our way into slightly more challenging sensory experiences in our asana practice.

Many of us are fortunate in our lives to be able to attend to our everyday comfort quickly - if we are cold …we might put the heating on or add warmer clothing layers…if we feel the first stirrings of hunger … we might quickly assuage them..

But what if we could also sit with and become more comfortable with the minor discomforts and meet them without aversion..become less reactive…more resilient …develop equanimity ?

Just 12 spaces remain for our Summer Solstice Wellbeing Afternoon.

On 21st June, we'll be opening the doors of the beautiful Island Hall in Godmanchester for an afternoon designed especially for women supported by us.

We know that life can feel busy, overwhelming and demanding. This afternoon is an opportunity to press pause for a few hours, spend time with other women in a safe and supportive environment, and focus on yourself.

Through creativity, movement, relaxation and connection, we hope to create a space where women can simply be, without expectation, pressure or judgement.

We're incredibly grateful to Island Hall for giving this experience to our Angels, and to everyone helping make the day possible.

If you've been thinking about coming along, now is the time to book. With 12 places remaining, we'd love to see those final spaces filled by women who could benefit from an afternoon of calm, connection and self-care.
