RHYTHMS OF REST 🌀🦋🐛

A journey into presence, calm, and higher consciousness.

A nourishing practice followed by Yoga Nidra for deep healing.

Join me for a slow movement-based practice to reset and restore with meditation, followed by Yoga Nidra for deep healing. An invitation to pause, breathe, and realign with your natural state of ease. This 2-hour session invites you to explore your relationship with breath and how it shapes your mind and body. In our fast-paced world, many of us have forgotten how to breathe fully this practice offers simple yet powerful tools to reconnect. No need for flexibility, just a body willing to breathe. Expect breath-led movement, guided Yoga Nidra for deep rest, and practical techniques to integrate into daily life. Held in a warm, cosy studio, with a cup of tea to ground us, this is a space to slow down, reset, and restore.

Mats can be provided too. £15 with a cuppa ☕️

Any questions don’t hesitate to reach out ✨

Yoga & Brunch ✨

I’m so excited to be back at the beautiful village farm next year every 2nd Saturday of the month for yoga & brunch!

The first one is next Saturday 11th or January 8-10am.

I know I haven’t had much time to promote this and I appreciate its the first weekend in January! As a gift I would like to offer £5 off this session as I know how hard it is this time of year and especially 8am on a Saturday!

The next 3 brunches for your diaries with Kate are:

Saturday 11th of January - only £15 🫶🏻
Saturday 8th of February
Saturday 12th of March

This practice will be a slow flow, traditional style of practice; steeped in Hatha, we’ll use the body to move through certain postures supported by a range of breathing techniques that lead us to the ultimate practice of meditation.

Everyone is welcome, this is a non competitive style of practice taught from the heart. It can transform your life in so many ways.

To book please call or message or email hello@villagefarmdevon.com or call 01548 843532

Join Kate for a special 2-hour Mandala Vinyasa yoga class, followed by refreshing matcha and a slice of banana bread! ✨🙌🍌

Taking place at the newly opened Wellness Warrior Yoga Studio in Modbury, the session will begin at 9 am. We will start with 30 minutes of yin, followed by 30 minutes of Mandala sequencing, 30 minutes of standing sequence, and conclude with 30 minutes of seated sequence, yin, and meditation.

It’s a beautiful expressive practice with a systematic approach to moving energy through the body, culminating in a deep restful place after class.

After the class, Becky and Laura will serve delicious matcha, either hot or cold, alongside a slice of banana bread. This will also be an opportunity to reflect on the practice and have a chat.

In 2023, Kate trained with Dulce Aguilar, the founder of the Mandala Vinyasa Method, in Goa, India, where she completed 100 hours of training in Mandala and Shamanism. The method comprises four routines, each representing an element and its specific energetic activation. We move around the mat 360° through asanas, which fosters a greater connection with the elements and a deeper sense of self through the constant synchronisation of movement and breath.

Based on the Mayan calendar, we will select one element to explore on Saturday, 5th October.

Any questions please reach out to Kate on 07815208794 - kate@thestartofnow.com

Hey! Happy 2024 👋🏻

I’ve been quiet around here... I haven’t been posting much because I haven’t felt the urge or necessity to share. Additionally, I’m hesitant to share just for the sake of appeasing Instagram algorithms 🫠

The first two weeks of January have been a whirlwind… getting back into a rhythm. Back to work, teaching, training, taking part in a course. It’s been busy. I haven’t had much time to think about future yoga gatherings and events…

BUT…this weekend, I feel inspired. 🙂 I’ve started to tend to the soil….to my flower bed, so I can begin to plant the seeds for them to bloom in spring/summer. As always, I want things to be real and authentic. I am excited to share to facilitate space once again for 2024. I have a few ideas up my sleeve. I’m here for it all, for the good, the bad and the ugly. So watch this space! Firstly, I am going to launch a special class offer throughout February. Every class is just £5…so basically ½ price - 50% OFF. Take it as a new year offer. Getting up and being at class for 7am is hard. I struggle too. I hope this offer makes it a little sweeter and maybe an incentive to try something new. This will be for my Wednesday 7am class at Harbour House in Kingsbridge. £5 Classes will be on the 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th of February.

Any questions please don’t hesitate reach out! And I can’t wait to see some of you this year 💛

PURE LOVE & MAGIC ✨🪄🔮

A glimpse of the first yoga & supper at The Grain Store captured beautifully by Dave Searle. ✨

The evening was everything and more than I could have ever imagined…

Thank you to those of you who booked on. It wouldn't have been the same without you. 💛

Charly and I couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of humans to share the evening with, doing what we love in different capacities but coming together to create something (hopefully) a tad memorable.

There is always a little apprehension when launching mini evenings like this… I’ve known now for a few months that I’ve wanted to add the element of social/community connection after practice. Who actually wants to go home and cook dinner after yoga!? (Not me…) I am so grateful that Alice (The owner of The Grain Store) and Charly (The owner of The Bosko Bus) took me up on this… thank you for playing a big part in facilitating this beautiful evening.

Heart is very full. So thank you. 🙏

I guess for now….watch this space!
