The Art of Unwinding
with Helen Stephenson

A Gentle Journey into Movement, Calm & Stillness

Pause. Breathe. Move. Restore.

*Join for a single session or immerse yourself in a seasonal series of 3 🍂

Imagine stepping into a beautiful, peaceful space, surrounded by nature, where the pace of everyday life begins to soften and you can finally take a breath.

The Art of Unwinding is a series of nurturing sessions designed to help you slow down, release tension and reconnect with yourself.

Blending the gentle flow of yoga, the mindful strength of Pilates, calming breathwork and guided meditation, each session offers an opportunity to move with intention, quiet the mind and settle into stillness.

With nature as your backdrop, you’ll be invited to let go of the outside noise, tune into your body and give yourself permission to simply be.

This is more than a movement class. It’s time for you.

Time to soften.
Time to breathe.
Time to restore your energy and find your balance again.

Each session offers a gentle opportunity to support your nervous system, ease the feeling of being constantly switched on, and cultivate a deeper sense of calm and wellbeing.

Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, calmer and more connected.

A little space to pause.
A little time to reconnect.
A gentle reset for body and mind.

🍂 As the season changes, perhaps it’s time to make a little space for yourself too.

This restorative session will include guided mindfulness and meditation, quiet reflection and simple practices to support greater awareness, kindness and self-care in everyday life.

🪑🌿 Think yoga isn’t for you? Think again.

Chair Yoga brings the benefits of gentle movement, stretching and mindful breathing into a comfortable, accessible practice — all from a chair.

It’s ideal if you’d like to improve mobility, flexibility and balance, ease stiffness, or simply enjoy some time to move and breathe without putting pressure on your body.

With Helen Stephenson, the focus is never on how far you can stretch or what a pose looks like. It’s about noticing how your body feels, moving in a way that works for you, and leaving with a little more space in both body and mind.

💚 No need to get down on the floor
💚 Gentle, adaptable movements
💚 Suitable for different abilities and experience levels
💚 Join in person or on Zoom

Perhaps Chair Yoga is exactly the kind of yoga you’ve been looking for.

What if the story of yoga began before anyone had a word for it?

One tiny seal, created thousands of years ago, has fascinated archaeologists and yoga historians for generations🧘

Known as the Pashupati Seal, it shows a central figure seated cross-legged, body upright 🧘 surrounded by animals and wearing an elaborate horned headdress.

In 1931, archaeologist Sir John Marshall suggested that the figure might represent an early form of Pashupati — “Lord of Animals” — associated with Shiva, and perhaps even a Maha Yogi seated in meditation.

The interpretation remains debated. But the image raises a fascinating possibility.

Long before yoga was described in texts…
before philosophies were written down…
before there were studios, mats or classes…
there was already the human impulse to sit, become still and turn inward.
No instructions survive.
No explanation.
Just an image.

🧘 To sit. To steady the body. To notice the breath. 🧘

Perhaps some things about being human haven’t changed very much at all.
Stay with the breath. 🌿
