How do you like to start your weekend??? 🤔

We love Restorative Yoga on a Friday evening and so do you! Here's recent feedback;
"I’ve been so impressed with Pauline’s restorative yoga sessions. Last week I came in with a stubborn headache, and through her calm pacing and the final legs‑up‑the‑wall pose, the pain finally eased.
This week we started on our tummy with slow, nurturing movements, and Pauline was attentive to everyone’s needs, offering alternative options for those with joint issues. Her teaching creates a space that feels both restorative and empowering. I always leave feeling more grounded and at ease." Janice

Would you like to join us for our next sound healing evening?
There has been fascinating research into the benefits of attending a Gong Bath sound healing session. To find out more and to see the scientific evidence, follow link below to our website and view the Youtube clip at the bottom of the page. This is what you will see:

Gong Bath - Blood Testing - Before & After
This film details a remarkable physical change that took place in blood samples from a person before & after a Gong Bath. What was discovered was a remarkable healing transformation took place affecting the Red and White blood Cells, T- Cells and Platelettes. The Blood terrain opened up enhancing the flow of Oxygen & Nutrients, Red Blood Cells were less congested and the energy potential of the cell increased, the Immune System was incredibly stimulated and White Blood Cells were much more active, larger, brighter & inflammation indicators decreased. Also the amount of damaged Cells from possible parasitical damage decreased from 70% down to around 30%.

A message from Wendy and Jess:
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed and sponsored the 62-mile challenge. Your generosity and kindness is really appreciated. We are currently two weeks into the challenge and have successfully completed 33 miles. This week, we have enjoyed walks to Hyde Hall, along the Southbank, and to South Woodford.

As you may be aware, my granddaughter, Hazel, spent five weeks in the NICU at Queen's Hospital. We cannot praise their exceptional care enough, as well as Bliss, a charity that holds a special place in our hearts. Your contributions will assist Bliss in continuing their mission to ensure that every baby, whether born prematurely or at full term, who requires neonatal care, has the best possible chance for survival and a good quality of life.

If you wish to participate, you can support Wendy and Jess via their Just Giving Page.

Wendy, our Pilates instructor, along with Jess, Wendy's daughter, are undertaking a 62-mile walk in March to raise funds for the charity Bliss. Bliss provides essential support to families with premature or ill infants, assisting them throughout their baby's neonatal journey.

In November, Jess gave birth to her lovely daughter, Hazel, who was born 8 weeks early and received exceptional care from the skilled, compassionate, and dedicated staff at the Neo Natal Unit in Queens hospital. Furthermore, Jess and her husband have benefited from ongoing support from Bliss during Hazel's hospital stay. Bliss collaborates directly with Queens and within the community to assist families.

If you would like to get involved you can support Wendy and Jess through their Just Giving Page or join them on one of the walks this March. Please get in touch if you would like to walk with them, I will then put you in touch with Wendy.

Adriana, Charlotte, and myself are excited to announce we will be returning to CloudZen (Margate) in October to host an Autumn weekend retreat.

We were unsure whether it would be possible at all this year, (in fact for the next two years) as Charlotte is attending university, to study midwifery. However, with slightly earlier dates in October, it has now become feasible.

If you are interested in reserving a space, please get in touch as the number of rooms are limited. The first 4 rooms have already been booked, and 3 of these are returning guests from previous years.

If you prefer a longer retreat, earlier this year, join us in Greece for our Greek Island yoga and Pilates retreat. There's still a £200 discount per room and flight prices are now dropping! Get in touch for more information as I can help you with every aspect of your planning.
