***YOGA FOR SELF-LOVE & NOURISHMENT – DONATION BASED YOGA CLASS FOR SARSVL***
So many important and necessary conversations are taking place following Sarah Everard’s disappearance and murder. I’ve seen so many women speaking up and sharing experiences and getting angry, as we should.
But it’s hard, tiring, depressing and, honestly, exhausting to read and hear of the harassment and violence that all women face on a daily basis. And to reflect on our own experiences, and how many of these affect us on a deep level yet we overlook because it’s just the norm. It’s a subject that I struggle to talk openly or eloquently about, BUT what I can do is offer a little bit of respite through yoga.
I imagine that there’s plenty of women who, like me, have found this week difficult and draining – so I am going to do something a little different this Sunday and teach a yoga class where we honour ourselves, thank ourselves for showing up and allow time for healing and recharging. So many of you are giving so much of yourselves, but it takes up a lot of energy and it’s important to draw some of that energy back in to your centre and take care of YOU!
The class is tomorrow (Sunday 14th March) 10-11am on Zoom. All are welcome to attend, not just women. We will be raising money for Support After R**e & Sexual Violence Leeds, link in bio to donate (you can donate even if you don’t want to do the class!) Send me a message with a screenshot of your donation and I will send you the link to the class. If you’re not based in Leeds and would like to donate to a charity local to you that does similar work then just let me know Suggested donation £4 but any amount is welcome. If you can’t make that time the class will be recorded so just let me know and I can send you the recording afterwards.
I really hope lots of us can come together to slow down, listen to the breath and show ourselves some love. Please share this with family and friends, and anyone you think could do with some TLC this weekend 💕🙏💕
