Prana - Holistic & Cold Water Wellness Coaching

Prana - Holistic & Cold Water Wellness Coaching An exciting new range of holistic therapies, treatments and wellness events Well, where to start....

Life is interesting and I wear many caps.

People who know me recognise a mum, swimmer, public speaker, fitness instructor, sports and relaxation therapist, open water coach, mental health coach, IT client services manager, secretary, the lady who does the admin, or just the woman down the road who is forever changing things - lesser known are a powerlifter, diy drystone waller, smallholder and some 20+ years ago the very first alpaca owner in Silsden. Me.... I like to think I'm an Adventurer, one who likes a challenge and maybe one who gets bored easily, but I am one who loves life; Lifeloving1. Life not long ago consisted of many adventures from swimming to France, multisport endurance events and a trek to Mt Everest base camp, there is another one pending to Petra in 2024. Sensible I thinks it is time to chill a little, relax and slow things down; my own chimp is still lurking (Petra proves that!) but I am managing him better now and taking back the reigns. Not wanting to waste any of my hard-earned talents, and because I like variety; I decided to combine them all (at least the lesser physical and demanding ones) to welcome you to my wellness workshop "Prana" (which is Sanskrit for Energy). I aim to empower others to make a difference for themselves, to divulge in self-care and to embrace new opportunities and friendships. So my "Wellness Workshop", indeed, also has two caps: an offer of holistic therapy in my home workshop, but also an opportunity to host wellness events to small groups, sports clubs, voluntary, charity and corporate organisations, etc. On the horizon you will see me offer massage for menopause (that time we all dread, as women) which I have redefined as a midlife pause - an opportunity to reflect, reconsider - pause for thought. Massage for oncology, and a whole host of wellbeing events taking in nature at its best. And eventually as a Celebrant - really looking forward to this one - Celebrating throughout our lives is so important, we need to celebrate our lives more. Enough for now, please love your life with my page and if you got this far well thank you for reading I hope we can all enjoy this new adventure of mine.

Lovely rainy dip in the lido late afternoon - 16.2 degrees felt chilly, but wonderful.

🌊 Outdoor swimming into autumn = crisp water, golden views, and a boost for body & mind 🍂💧

Colder temps mean more care — wetsuits, bright buoys & swim buddies keep it safe and fun!

We’re continuing our Open Water Swim Circle sessions in the micro lakes at Draughton Heights Campsite 🏞️ — so you can swim safely and enjoy the season in good company.

This morning’s technique session was lifted by the golden glow of the early sun 🌞✨

Yesterday I took my first "official" Tai Chi for Health class as cover for the usual instructor at Craven. I have just seen this, a little apprehensive as to whether I dare check the comments 🫣 delighted that I did 😁

Taking time out today at Capernwray - it's been a while, but just as lovely as ever.

🌊 Prana Open Water Circle 🏊🏊

Connect & Swim.

Welcome to Prana Open Water Circle — a relaxed and supportive social swim session for those who’ve completed their intro to open water, or need a confidence booster and are ready to deepen their connection with the water with other like-minded swimmers.

Rooted in the concept of “Prana” — the life force carried by breath and movement, this session is all about embracing the rhythm of open water in a mindful, enjoyable way. Whether you're looking to build confidence, improve technique, or simply share a peaceful swim with others, this circle offers a safe, welcoming space to explore at your own pace.

What to expect:

A calm, guided group entry and water warm-up

A focus on breath awareness, body connection, and swimming with ease.

Time for post-swim reflection, chat, or tea on the shore

**Prerequisite**
Completion of an Intro to Open Water course/Outside2 or equivalent open water experience. Booking essential.

A fantastic first dip into open water for this lovely little group today! Huge thanks, as always, to Sarah (and Rhian) for your support and words of encouragement to swimmers.

Getting in can be a challenge when the weather’s not on our side, but taking it in their stride they all did brilliantly!

If you’re feeling tempted to give it a go, I’ve popped the booking link below 😉. We’ve been lucky with sunshine up until today – no promises on the weather, but I can promise you’ll leave the session warm, smiling, and wanting to come back for more!
