Join Dianne Inglis next Monday for Paracise or Pilates - new 5-week blocks starting.

Paracise is low impact exercise to fabulous music - perfect for anyone who would benefit from lower intensity exercise. It's great fun, and the music is really uplifting.

Pilates is mat-based, and focuses on building core strength but also gives a good all-body workout.

Our Paracise class in on from 10.15-11am, and Pilates from 11am-12pm.

What will you come to? Maybe both?

Both the blocks or drop-in sessions can be booked in here - https://bookinghawk.com/events-overview/pause-and-breathe/531 - or send me a DM

Here's next week's timetable - lots going on in both our Bonnybridge & Bo'ness centres.

Audrey is off on her holidays for 2 weeks, so there's no Wednesday night Chair Yoga or Vinyasa Yoga Flow on Bonnybridge. There's also no Paracise and Pilates this week as we're getting the work on our kitchen completed.

As well as our usual weekly timetables we have:

Brand new blocks of Yoga with Rona starting on Monday (6.30-7.30pm) and our Community Yoga with June on Tuesdays (1.30-2.30pm) in Bo'ness.

Harvest Time Yoga Nidra online with Susie on Tuesday (8.30-9.15pm)

Indian Head Massage with Christine in Bonnybridge on Friday (10-11.30am)

Our "Open One Year" Party in Bonnybridge on Saturday 9.30am-12.30pm

A new Senior Thai Boxing class with Stuart on Saturday (12-1.15pm) in Bo'ness

Craft Cafe with Louise in Bonnybridge on Saturday (1-4pm)

and a Tuning Forks Workshop with Morag on Sunday in Bonnybridge.

Phew! What will you come to?

This Yoga Nidra tunes into the natural rhythm of late summer - when the first harvests come in, the light begins to subtly shift, and we begin to turn inward. We'll reflect over the year so far - noticing what's blossomed for us, what's changed - and what's ready to be gathered.

The energy of this Nidra is earthy and stabilising, ideal for deep rest and regulating your nervous system.

Join me online on Tuesday 26th August 8.30-9.15pm. £7 to come along live, or £10 to have access to the recording for 30 days to revisit as many time as you'd like to: https://bookinghawk.com/event/pause-breathe-cic/531/yoga-nidra-harvest-time-on-zoom/46435

Do you love 70's music? Maybe a bit of "Stayin' Alive" or "American Pie" or "Stairway to Heaven"?

Now, I can't promise that any of these will be on the playlist, but I do know that the music in Sarah's Move to the Music class this week is going to be amazing as she's playing 70's classics! I cannot believe I'm going to miss it!!

If you fancy joining her, it's Saturday 23rd August 10-11am - £8 (or £5 reduced rate) - book in here: https://bookinghawk.com/event/pause-breathe-cic/531/move-to-the-music-adult-class-bonnybridge/46188

We're celebrating our outside space - using it lots over the last few weeks to hold sessions outside. In the pic I'm setting up for Chair Yoga last Thursday night - so lovely to have the river behind us and the trees all around.

Our latest newsletter let's you know about sessions we have coming up - perhaps more of them will be held outside? I always think that September feels a bit like a new year - so there's lots on to choose from.

What will you come to? https://sh1.sendinblue.com/3gws4ivzi4lpfe.html?t=1755620214018

It's World Photography Day.

Although there's much not to like about mobile phones, I do love the fact that most of us carry cameras with us all the time - taking photos of things that bring back happy memories.

I'd like to invite you all to share the 9th photo on your phone - doesn't matter what it is, it'll carry a memory for you.

Here's mine - Phin at Canada Woods this weekend. He'd "hid" the ball he'd found from me. Can you spot it?

Share your 9th photo below 👇
