Thank you so much to everyone who joined me for our Spring Equinox gathering last night 🌿✨

It was such a special evening of slowing down, reconnecting and welcoming in the new season together. The energy in the room felt so calm, open and supportive - it really meant a lot to share that space with you all 🤍

From our cacao ritual and intention setting through to gentle movement, breathwork and deep rest, there was a real sense of soft unfolding throughout the evening.

For those who couldn’t get a space this time, my next event is on Sunday 17th May 🌑 I’d love to welcome you there - booking is now open here: https://bookwhen.com/marymansfieldyoga/e/ev-s9y1m-20260517180000

I’ve shared a new 10-minute guided meditation 🤍
It’s something we’ve been exploring in our meditation and breathwork classes - noticing the small spaces between thoughts, rather than trying to stop the mind completely.
If your mind has felt busy lately, this might be a nice one to come back to.
I’ve linked it below if you’d like to listen🤍

🕯️𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐠𝐚 & 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧🕯️
This class was built from a special place in my heart.🤍

Living with chronic pain for much of my life, I know the value of gentle movement and how healing Yoga Nidra can be. For a few years, I’ve been guiding students through this class, offering a safe, nurturing space to:
* Move gently at your own pace
* Release tension and restore flexibility
* Deeply relax and reset your mind

It’s a class that comes from love, understanding and real experience - designed to leave you feeling calm, supported and restored.

✨ Suitable for all levels, no prior yoga experience needed.
📅 Every Thursday 6:30-7:30pm
💷 Drop-in £10 - Multi-class pass available📍 Hadfield

💖Last night’s Heart Expansion & Self-Love: Cacao, Yoga & Yoga Nidra was such a beautiful space to hold.💖
An evening of slowing down.
Softening.
Breathing.
Remembering the warmth already within the heart.

We began with a gentle cacao ritual, moved through nourishing breath and heart-centred movement, and settled into deep rest with Yoga Nidra. The space felt warm, open-hearted and deeply connected.

Thank you to everyone who came. I hope you’re carrying a little extra love with you today.
Much love 🤍

*I don’t take photos at these gatherings. Protecting the space, and the privacy of everyone who steps into it, feels important to me. Some moments are meant to be experienced, not captured.

🐷💗𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆!💗🐷

This Saturday I’ll be visiting Pigs in the Wood, a wonderful sanctuary in Scissett that rescues pigs and other animals from abuse and neglect. They get to roam freely in woodland, cared for by volunteers every day.
Yoga isn’t just the poses on the mat, it’s how we move through the world 🤍
✨ Ahimsa = compassion, non-harming
✨ Seva = selfless service, helping without expectation

If you’d like to join me in spreading a little love, the sanctuary is always grateful for shop-bought fresh produce & hay donations (nothing from kitchens, no meat, dairy, or processed foods -DEFRA rules).
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲:
🥕 Carrots
🎃 Squash & pumpkin
🌶 Peppers
🍅 Tomatoes
🥬 Spinach & leafy greens (not cabbage)
🍎 Apples & other fruit (less is more)
🍌 Bananas
🌱 Asparagus
🥗 Lettuce
🥒 Cucumber, courgette & marrows
🍃 Comfrey leaves
🌾 Grass hay (apparently always superb!)

𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗳𝗳:
📍 Thursday 7:30–8pm (Hadfield Hall, upstairs after candlelit yoga)
📍 Saturday morning 7:30-8am & 9:30-9:45am (Hadfield Hall, downstairs before/after Rise & Shine Yoga)
*If those times don’t work, I’m also happy to arrange other drop off times, or I can collect from Hadfield/Glossop area.

𝗔 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗔𝗵𝗶𝗺𝘀𝗮 & 𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗮 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲,
Much love and gratitude, Mary 💚
