HELLO HELLO ☺️

My lovely Tanren Tribe, I hope you are well and that you’ve been enjoying the sunshine, even if through the office window or during the lunch break…I have, but still, my batteries are not quite full yet!

Therefore, I am afraid this year’s classes are now officially paused until *September*. Soon I’ll be off to sail on the Mediterannean waters, enjoy the sunshine and all the good things in life!! There is nothing like an early morning swim and exercise, followed by an espresso with a view. I am truly grateful I can do that 😁☀️🏊‍♀️☕️🍻🍦

Please do stay in touch (I will) and let me know how you are doing! As well as if any days / evenings in particular would be good /better for you from September. Until then, look after yourselves and keep well 🙏

Yours, S

Ps hard to believe, but I took this picture in Glasgow earlier this year, on a miserable, rainy day…what a beauty, emerging from the toughest of environments …

I’ve seen this on facebook and decided to try it out…out of what I’d normally throw away into the compost came a brand new living thing!✨ So very inspiring . Just like our lives. Life and life force is within us, we just have to discover it, connect with it, appreciate it and nurture it. Not throw it away.

In our Tanren class we focus on ‘’tanden’ or dantian’ , the sea of qi, the seat of life energy in the body, through mindful and correct ex*****on of exercises and breath. In the first sequence we start slowly and build up our strength gradually. Everyone works to their limit as forcing anything only results in bad habits and injury.

I am inviting you to join me on this journey to discovering your inner power and look forward to seeing you 🙏

Ladies AND gents, 18+ are very welcome!
No previous experience is required.

Looking forward to seeing you!!

Dear Tanren ladies!!!

We are continuing with our course on Friday 1st March after a week of half-term break.

This week we‘ll have a recap of the last class. We spent some time on warm ups - learning how to do them correctly, and trying to do movements with our bodies (and not our minds!). This week we‘ll pay more attention to:

,
and
work - but gently!

I am looking forward to seeing you ⚔️
