Yoga for Children and Young Adults - October Holidays

School holidays are almost here and we are offering classes and workshops to provide some educational fun for all age groups.  Come along and enjoy the fun and learn some new skills.  Times and dates are below:

Wednesday 2 October

9.30-11.00am - Yoga for Children 5-11yrs + Bath Bomb Workshop

This class explores yoga poses with guidance from the teacher and some input from the children.  We focus on mindfulness, observation, listening, concentration, and learning to be still.  The yoga poses are taught without expectation or judgment to encourage participation and confidence.   The class will be loads of fun and build skills and team work.  Following the class we will make bath bombs which your children can take home.  Please bring a plastic container to carry them home in.

11.15am-12.45pm Yoga for 12yrs+ and Natural Perfume Workshop

This class teaches various yoga poses in action.  It's dynamic and teaches coordination, focus, mindfulness and observation.  We will work as a team and work as individuals to listen, observe and work steadily through the class.  The students will also have some input and contribute to the poses we learn as a group.  At the end of the class there will be a relaxation segment - a time to be quiet and look inwards.  We will observe our breath and learn to settle ourselves and be still.
After the Class we will make a natural perfume in a roller ball which can be taken home.  There will be a choice of essential oils including base notes which are grounding, top notes which are typically energising such as citrus oils, and everything in between.

July Holiday Timetable and Five Reasons you Should Keep Coming to Class during Winter

Hello to our lovely yoga students and yoga friends,

A quick reminder that the current term concludes on Saturday 6 July with the last class being Kim's 7.30am General Class.  Then we are in school holiday territory where we operate on a slightly reduced timetable (see timetable below).  I realise it's well and truly Winter but there are a million reasons to maintain your practice over the coming months, and particularly over the July holidays.  Here are five.

1. Reduce Stress Levels

With all the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed. Yoga is a great way to relax and unwind, helping to lower cortisol levels and promote a sense of calm. By attending holiday yoga classes, you can combat the stress that often comes with school holidays juggling work and children.

2. Boost Your Immune System

During the winter months, it's important to take care of your immune system. Yoga can help boost your immune system by increasing circulation, improving lymphatic flow, and reducing inflammation. By attending holiday yoga classes, you can support your body's natural defenses and stay healthy throughout the season.

3. Stay Active and Fit

With all the holiday treats and indulgences, it's easy to let your fitness routine slide. Attending yoga classes during the holidays is a great way to stay active and maintain your fitness level. Yoga can help improve flexibility, strength, and balance, keeping you in shape during this the Winter months.

4. Cultivate Mindfulness and Gratitude

Winter is often a great time for reflection and gratitude. Yoga can help you cultivate mindfulness and gratitude by focusing on the present moment and connecting with your breath. By attending yoga classes, you can take time for yourself, practice gratitude, and cultivate a sense of inner peace.

5. Connect with a Community

Yoga classes offer a supportive and welcoming community where you can connect with like-minded individuals. Attending holiday yoga classes is a great way to meet new people, make friends, and feel a sense of belonging. Joining a yoga community can provide you with the support and encouragement you need to stay motivated and committed to your practice.

So, why not make time for yourself this Winter and attend yoga classes? Whether you're looking to reduce stress, boost your immune system, stay active, cultivate mindfulness, or connect with a community, our classes offer a multitude of benefits for your mind, body, and spirit.

International Yoga Day Friday 21 June

Are you looking to celebrate International Yoga Day in a meaningful way? At the Yoga Room we celebrate this day each year and invite our community to join us.

What is International Yoga Day?

International Yoga Day is celebrated on June 21st every year to raise awareness about the many benefits of practicing yoga. It is a day to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being through the practice of yoga.

How we are Celebrating?

We are holding a free class from 6.00-7.00pm followed by soup and dahl whilst watching a yoga related film.  There is no cost but if you would like to bring something sweet like a slice for our dessert, that would be lovely.
