My Psoas anatomy workshop is coming up this Saturday and there's a couple of spaces left if you'd like to join us! Full details in original post :)

We are really excited to be offering the second installment of the Moving Myofascially workshops - this time having a deep dive into the Mighty Psoas!

In this workshop we will be exploring how to inject cutting edge anatomy and biomechanics understanding into your yoga practice (and classes if you're a teacher). Many styles of yoga still teach in a linear way, relying on outer body muscles to do the work which over time can cause strain on the joints and tension in our outer body muscles - it also locks us out of our true core power. When we learn how to move from our deep core line - the deep myofascial muscle meridian - we move from this true core, supporting our spine, taking pressure off the joints and the outer body (superficial body) and discover both a new lightness and strength in our yoga practice! (Wait till you see how this transforms stepping the foot forward from downdog!) Our Psoas plays a huge role in moving in this integrated way and developing authentic strength.

This workshop will follow on from the one earlier in the year but is also self contained so it doesn't matter if you attended the first one or not. For anyone who is interested in our 2026 yoga teacher training then this workshop provides a great introduction to the studio, Chelle and this style of yoga 🤗

This workshop is open to yoga students and teachers.

Michelle is a senior yoga teacher (500hr+) and teacher trainer. She has been practicing yoga for 20 years and teaching for 9. She also has 15 years experience as a sports and remedial massage therapist.

Join us 2-6pm on Saturday 13th Sept. Cost is £65 and payment plans can be arranged if needed. Email michelle.rose.boxley@gmail.com 🙏

I am floating this out there to see if it calls to anyone, I haven't ran facilitator training this year as its been so busy and I normally do at least one round in-person or online each year. I had some space in November and felt called to offer my Sisters of the Moon Women's Circle facilitator training as an in-person weekend at my studio. I will need a minimum of 4 people for the training to go ahead so will have to see how bookings go and will be transparent about this. If it's not meant to be for this year then I will trust that. Here's the info, see if it's something you would like to do - I am consciously trying to avoid scarcity marketing so take your time thinking about it, you don't need to hurry or worry that 'spaces are filling fast' 🤗

This training is for anyone who is feeling the call to offer women's circles and would like to learn how to hold space in an inclusive, ethical and trauma informed way. Understanding sacred structure is a really important part of holding successful women's circles, as well as boundaries and energetics. It is not as simple as just gathering people and inviting them to talk about their feelings - this actually creates unsafe space. We go through the many layers of holding beautiful and safe space and why we never say it's a safe space. I will also be going through decolonizing and re-wilding the wheel of the year and why its modern presentation is so problematic. We will also look at the true energetics of the masculine and feminine (not the patriarchal versions we are so often sold) and how we can also honour the non-binary. I will also be covering how to make circles inclusive for our trans sisters! We will go deep with cyclical living, goddess & storytelling!

The cost of this course is £350 which includes the two in-person days, the online content and beautiful printed workbooks. Payment plans are available and can be discussed on an individual basis to suit you. A deposit of £50 is required to secure your space as this is for a small group of women. I am just building my web page for this with full course outline but if you'd to register your interest or book please email michelle.rose.boxley@gmail.com 🙏

19/08/2025

I've had a cancellation for tomorrow at 11:30am if anyone wants to book a last minute treatment. Choose from massage, reiki, womb healing or sound healing.

Message me on here or email Michelle.rose.boxley@gmail.com 🤗

Join me at my studio in Claverley on Saturday 25th October 4-6pm for a cosy, candlelit Restorative Yoga workshop.

These workshops are themed around the season and the moon and so we will be honouring late Autumn and the new moon in Libra which will have taken place earlier on in the week.

Cost: £30.00

All props are supplied by the studio. To book in please email me at michelle.rose.boxley@gmail.com

Please wear comfortable clothing for gentle movement and bring something warm for relaxation (blankets are provided at the studio) but you might like to bring a jumper and or snuggly socks 🙂

My next women's circle is coming up on Sunday 24th August 🤗

🐟♍ Wild Woman Circle - Awakening Your Inner Mystic - A Journey with the Hazel Tree - for the New Moon in Virgo ♍🐟

Our next wild woman circle is Sunday 24th August 6-8pm and will be in honour of the Hazel tree and welcoming in the new moon in Virgo. For this circle we will be connecting to our inner Mystic and the Druidic story of the Hazel tree and the Salmon of wisdom. We'll be exploring the Celtic otherworld and taking a journey to meet the ultimate tree of inspiration - Hazel.

We will explore these themes via drumming, meditation, singing (with proto Celtic) ritual and craft and a sharing circle.

We are heading towards our next full moon - the full moon in Aquarius taking place tomorrow at 08:55 (UK time). August's full moon goes by many names, the most commonly used name for this full moon is the Sturgeon moon - this name belongs to the indigenous peoples of the Great Lakes of North America. During August, sturgeons, a large fresh water fish, were in abundance in these areas and therefore provided an important food source. Sadly, Sturgeon are now listed as the most endangered species group on earth - this is due to modern overfishing, the blocking of their migratory routes, pollution and climate change. Sturgeon have been around since the age of the dinosaur - what a loss it would be if they became extinct. It's interesting that this moon name is used so much - are we really connected to it's meaning? Is it relevant to where we live or have we appropriated it?Interestingly there are two types of Sturgeon native to the UK but they are incredibly rare - for them to return in large numbers would require significant rewilding of our rivers - our rivers are dying! Sturgeon were really important to the indigenous communities of the Great Lakes and now they are endangered - this moon invites us to think about the damage of colonialism, capitalism, and climate change. This is what Aquarius is all about! It's the humanitarian of the zodiac - the change maker - the revolutionary.

Other names for the August full moon are:

The Grain Moon (Celtic), Flying up Moon (Cree), Corn Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe), Harvest Moon (Dakota), Ricing Moon (Anishinaabe), Mountain Shadows Moon (Tlingit), Black Cherries Moon (Assiniboine), the Dispute Moon (Celtic) and Lightning Moon (Celtic), the Red Moon (due to the summer sun causing the moon to appear red) and the Mead Moon (Celtic).

This full moon is also known as Lunar Lughnasadh/Lammas - the full moon closest to First Harvest and for many people is when they celebrate first harvest in ceremony and community.

🌟 REIKI LEVEL 1 TRAINING 2026🌟

My September Reiki Level 1 training is fully booked, my next Level 1 training will be in April next year. If you would like to be attuned to Reiki level 1 energy and learn how to give energy healing to yourself and your family and friends, then you are invited to join us on Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th April, 9:30am-5:30pm at my wellbeing space in Claverley.

I am really passionate about teaching Reiki in a more traditional way - taking the time to go through all theory and properly integrate the energy, this is not a rushed workshop with a quick certificate and that's very important to me as a teacher! This is two full days of training with plenty of time for discussions and integration. I am also only offering the training to a small group of up to 4-6 so spaces are limited and some of the spots are already taken. Reiki level 1 also lays the foundation for going on to be a practitioner with level 2 (I recommend a 6-12 month gap between doing level 1 and level 2).

On day one we will be looking at the theory and history of Reiki and its beautiful philosophy and I will be giving each person an empowerment to gently introduce them to the reiki energy. On day 2, I will be giving the Reiki 1 attunement and then we will spend the afternoon practicing on each other and discussing further theory. At the end of day 2 certificates will be awarded and everyone will be set up with the important post Reiki attunement self care.

Investment is £250 for the weekend and certificates and workbooks are included in the training. A £50 deposit is required to secure your spot. For more information or to book please email me at michelle.rose.boxley@gmail.com

I have been a Reiki practitioner for 15 years, I trained in level 1&2 with Alex Topic in Sydney 15 years ago and then trained as a Reiki Master with Vicki Heath of Ravenwood via 6 month 1:1 mentorship back here in the UK. If you would like more info about my lineage please feel free to ask 🙏

Happy New Moon day!

Mama moon has ebbed and flowed and once again we find our selves at the beginning of a new cycle. In just a few hours, at 8:11pm, (UK time) we welcome in the New Moon in Leo. New moon in Leo asks us to reclaim our joy as an act of resistance and rebellion, to lead and live from the heart and to be brave and bold in both our love for self and others.

Leo is a fire sign, ruled by the Sun and epitomises self confidence and self belief. Leo season is about stepping into our power, truth and sovereignty and shining our unique light out into the world. Leo encourages us to be brave and bold in the pursuit of our pleasure, goals and dreams. This is a great time to focus on Solar Plexus work - it's in this chakra that we store our creative fire, our confidence and our self worth - it's often referred to as the seat of self. Both Leo's element of Fire and it's ruling planet the Sun, represent the Masculine and therefore our action and drive.

To read more about this new moon, explore journaling prompts and enjoy a Leo playlist, head to my free blog via the link in the comments. Those of you in my Moon Circle Patreon tier - see you at 8pm tonight for our online new moon circle 🙂

MARY MAGDALENE'S FEAST DAY

Happy Mary Magdalene's Feast Day dear ones! This is such a sacred and important day - not just because it honours Mary Magdalene but because it rightfully reinstates her as apostle to the apostles. In 2016 Pope Francis publicly acknowledged the historical misrepresentation of Mary Magdalene as a pr******te. He apologized for this distortion of her story and spoke the truth about who she was - a devoted and loyal follower and the only witness to Jesus' resurrection. Her feast day raises her up to sit in her rightful place as apostle to the apostles and beloved of Christ.

Mary Magdalene was a Jewish woman, born in the town of Magdala, she lived in a small fishing village near the shore of the Sea of Galilee. She is one of the only women in the bible who is not identified via her relationship to a man - father/brother/husband/son. She was an independent woman of wealthy means who after meeting Jesus in his early ministry becomes one of his most devoted followers and financially aids him and his disciples. She stayed with him until the very end, never looking away and tenderly preparing his body in the ways of a Myrrhophore. She was the only person to witness his resurrection and tell the other disciples of the news and then carried on spreading the teachings long after he was gone. Mary's Gospel is full of love, acceptance and demonstrates her understanding of the true teachings of Yeshua. Mary and Yeshua represent the union of the divine feminine and masculine. We have been missing half of the story for too long!

Mary Magdalene, Mary of Magdala, Miriam of Magdala, the Magdalene, Apostle to the Apostles, Beloved of Christ, the Woman with the Alabaster Jar - today we honour you and your teachings of the heart.

"The story of a woman who was beloved to Christ not because she followed him, or worshipped him like an idol or a being far greater than she could ever be. But rather, because she followed his example and became the love that he was also. This love she became is what our world needs most desperately. It's a love that renders all things sacred, from the animals to the angels, from the poorest to the most powerful. It's a love that sees the inherent worth in all living things. Mary Magdalene is the embodiment of a love that reaches where it never has before." - Mary Magdalene Revealed
