I have loved being part of this women’s circle at the studio for the last 5 weeks teaching . Such an inspirational group of ladies from all different walks of life. Thank you Dee The Mindful Counsellor for pushing me out of my comfort zone so that we could hold the space for these absolute legends! I am so grateful to have had this time with you all. I’m only sorry that I have to miss the final week and get back on the treadmill. This sabbatical has been transformative. Putting so much love out there for these beautiful females. Let’s do it again soon. Much love to you all.

Message from Emma :

🌿 A Little Personal Share 🌿
As some of you know, I’m restarting my yoga business after taking time away. Hitting pause wasn’t easy, as I love teaching so much, but it gave me space to reflect, reset, and come back with a fresh perspective.
For me, yoga has always been about more than the poses. It’s about creating space to breathe, to ground myself, and to remember that every day offers the chance to begin again.
That’s why I’ve created this upcoming workshop:
🧘‍♀️ Back to Basics, Reset, Begin Again
📅 Sunday 5th October | 🕒 2–4pm
📍 Great Malvern Yoga Studio
It’s for anyone starting yoga for the first time, or returning after a break—just like me. Together we’ll move gently, reconnect, and give ourselves permission to start fresh.
💌 Message me or email emmayogini@gmail.com to join.
Come as you are. Let’s begin again, together. 🌸

So excited for this. Starts on Wednesday. If you would like a place, we could probably squeeze in another one… let us know asap!

🌿 3 days to go to find, give and experience Compassion for self and others in The Malvern Women’s Circle. Find out a bit about compassion and why it’s underpinning all of my work.

The Yoga Sūtra teaches ahimsa — non-violence — as the first step of the yogic path. Compassion begins not with others, but with ourselves. Yet many women I see live with a relentless inner critic: “I should cope better… I’m too much… I’m not enough.”

In circle we practise compassion as medicine. We learn to soften the inner voice, to speak to ourselves with the same gentleness we would offer a friend.

Research shows that self-compassion lowers anxiety and builds resilience, but more importantly, it feels like relief — like finally being free to trial authenticity...

Compassion is not weakness; it is real strength that chooses softness and reality over self-attack and striving for perfection.

✨ In 3 days, come sit in a circle that honours compassion — for yourself, for others, and for the journey you’re and we are all on - thankfully together.

Get in touch to see if places or a waiting list for next circle due to start early November! mymindfulcounsellor@gmail.com

Exciting things are afoot at Great Malvern Yoga. See Dee’s original post for details of our Therapeutic Women’s Circle and it’s also in the newsletter that’s gone out today.

More things are coming soon… including a September complete beginners course with Sam.

Women’s Healing Anxiety Course - Join us for 6 therapeutic, healing sessions of movement, calm & connection 🌿

Hi Everyone

If your head’s full, your body’s tense and you’re running on nervous energy most days — this is for you.

We’re Kat (No Ordinary Yogi) and Dionne (The Mindful Counsellor) and we’re bringing something gentle but powerful to Malvern this August- October.

A 6-week women’s course designed to calm your nervous system and help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more you again.

Each 3-hour session includes:

🌀 Movement Medicine (Kat and Dionne) – simple, accessible movement to soften tension and anxiety from the inside out designed therapeutically by Dionne based on ‘Movement Medicine for Women’s bodies’ developed by ‘Move with JuJu’

🧘‍♀️ Yin Yoga (Kat) – deep, supported rest to help your body remember how to relax (no flexibility needed – we’ve got bolsters, blankets and tea!). Therapy led input from Dionne on resting in the uncomfortable without panic

💬 A therapist-held witnessing circle – where you can speak, be seen, or just listen — plus a chance to Ask a Therapist (Dionne, NCPS Accredited) with real tools for managing anxiety and overwhelm

🍰 Tea and cake – because grounding yourself should feel good.

“I can’t afford therapy but I need healing — this is perfect. I can’t wait to connect with both of you. Thank you for coming up with this.”
– from a woman already booked in
The model has been contemplated for months as to how I wanted to do this and it’s all come together in my head these past few weeks…

We’ve kept the group small (8 each maximum so max group 16) so it feels safe, welcoming and human.

This isn’t a substitute where individual therapy is needed but it’s deeply therapeutic.

It’s not just a yoga class either though there’s an hour of yin yoga and breathwork teaching, with therapeutic support and explanations, during the class.

What I’ve developed is something in between and is deeply linked to how I think we heal as women.

The class has been modelled to bring courage, connection and authenticity to us, through our bodies, brains and emotions. This is how I’ve come to understand the healing process as a women’s counsellor. I’ve adapted this for group.

For many of us as women, it’s the first time we might have a sGreat Malvern YogapThe Mindful Counsellorout pressure to perform, hide or be ‘unseen’.

If this sounds like what you need, we’d love to have you with us.
