When was the last time you gave yourself permission to slow down?

Not because you’d finished everything on your to-do list or because you’d “earned” rest, but simply because you’re human and you need care too.

Gabriella’s Reiki for Self Care workshop is a gentle, nurturing space designed to help you reconnect with yourself and explore supportive self-care practices through Reiki and energy awareness.

Together, you’ll slow the pace, tune back into your body and learn simple ways to support your wellbeing beyond the constant pressure to keep going. Including:
- Gentle Reiki self-care practices
- Nervous system support and grounding
- Rest, reflection and reconnection
- A calm and welcoming space to simply be

Many of us are very good at looking after everyone else and this is an invitation to include yourself in that care too.

Qigong for Summer is coming.

A gentle, seasonal practice to help you move into summer feeling more balanced, open and energised.

In Qigong, each season carries its own energy. Summer is linked to the Fire element and the Heart, a time of warmth, connection and expression, but also a time where we can feel overstimulated or scattered.

This 4-week course is designed to help you stay grounded within that energy.
Through slow, mindful movement, breathwork and awareness, you’ll be guided to:
• Support and balance the Heart
• Release restlessness and tension
• Cultivate calm, joy and inner steadiness
• Strengthen the upper body and improve mobility

It’s a quiet, powerful practice, one that helps you feel more connected, both to yourself and the season around you.

📅 Starts Thursday 18th June
🕐️ 1:00 - 2:00pm

Your mind was never designed to process this much, all the time. Messages, noise, notifications, constant thinking and constant doing. At some point, the nervous system starts asking for a pause.

Just come as you are, get comfortable and allow yourself to be held by the experience.

- Deep rest for mind and body

If life has felt loud lately, this is your invitation to step out of the noise for a while.

This week we’re shining a light on Elly…

Elly has been part of The Secret Space since the very beginning, teaching here for nearly 15 years, right from day one.

When the studio first opened, she was drawn to its vision straight away. A space rooted in community, accessibility and genuine care, something she’s continued to embody in her teaching ever since.

Her approach is shaped not just by years of training, but by life too. As a mother of three, including two children with additional needs, Elly brings a deep understanding that yoga should meet people where they are.
Her classes reflect that.

From strong, dynamic Vinyasa and Ashtanga to gentle, supportive sessions and yoga for those with additional needs, her teaching is grounded, adaptable and always inclusive.

If you’re curious, you can read more about Elly’s approach over on our blog, or explore her weekly classes via the link in our bio.

How are you, really?

A lot of men move through life carrying more than they let on; stress, pressure, frustration, feeling stuck or unsure what’s next. Not because they don’t want to talk about it, but often because they don’t quite know how.

This course is a space to change that.

Join Paul and Stuart for a series of relaxed, supportive sessions designed to help you reflect, talk, and start making sense of what’s going on beneath the surface.

Together, you’ll explore what you want, what might be holding you back, and how to move forward with more clarity and confidence.

No pressure or expectations, just a space to be honest and figure things out.

If running is part of your week, this class is a simple way to support your body alongside it.

Yoga for Runners focuses on the areas that often need the most attention, hips, hamstrings, glutes and lower back, helping to improve mobility, build strength and release tightness.

It’s not about being flexible or good at yoga, but about giving your body what it needs to keep moving well and reduce the risk of injury.

You’ll also have space to slow things down, tune into your body and support recovery in a way that actually makes a difference to your running.

Whether you’re training regularly or just getting started, you’re very welcome.
