Eight: Beneath the Asana

31/07/2025

My knee is on the mend, after another week of rest I think I’ll be good to go for massaging again, thankfully 😅

I can tinker with these times, depending on the length of treatment.
DM or whatsapp to book ❤️

Life lately 😵‍💫 after being quite literally knocked off my feet by my dog and damaging my knee quite severely- I’ve been given the gift of time, and also a cold. And in that time what I’ve also been given is time to think and reflect which has been a brutal gift 😂😭 but clearly needed. The healing journey never really ends- savage right? There’s always new lessons and layers being shed and new versions being created. We aren’t supposed to stay the same - we are supposed to evolve that’s our purpose. To learn the lessons we came here to learn. So as uncomfortable as it is to be faced with myself 🙄 here I am. And this one is a good one. Hyper independence and receiving help, with a sprinkle of trust issues 😂🍿The studio has a light timetable over August and the best place to find updates is our page, where there will also be the massage appointments I have each week. But for now instead of using my time endlessly scrolling while being sat on my ass- I have other things to focus on. You can still get me via email nat@studioeightwells.com or if you have my number you can whatsapp me. It’s not a pure detox but significantly less screen time…I will be focussing on all the tasks I hate like business admin and marketing (recording content 🤢) but also spending time with my 2 faves and maybe some revision. See you on the other side my loves or perhaps in class. All the best, Nat ❤️✨

Every Wednesday we open the doors for you to come and enjoy the space. Whether on guided moving or spoken meditation, quiet reflection or to make use of the space in your own way with your own practice. We provided candles, journal prompts, colouring pages, books and a comfortable place to sit or lay even a cup of herbal tea if you wish. All of this is by donation and funds go back into the running of the studio which is ‘not for profit’.
All support you can give to the space is appreciated and we hope to reach as many members of the community as we can while we are still able to be here ❤️

🧘‍♀️Shavasana: AKA The Co**se Pose. AKA The Hardest Pose You’ll Ever Do.
I’ll stand by this statement for eternity.
Yea you can stand on your head - that’s great. But can you be still, and be comfortable?

Laying still for 5 minutes sounds easy right… until your brain decides to host a TED Talk on laundry, emails, your 2007 ex, whether oat milk is a scam and that time you said ‘you too’ when someone wished you happy birthday.

But this is the pose that asks us to do what the West avoids at all costs: nothing. No grinding. No side hustling. No inbox-checking. Just you, the mat, and maybe that cobweb on the studio ceiling.

Because in a world that glorifies the hustle, stillness is the real rebellion.

I know it can be so tempting to skip or rush this final part, but this is where the transformation happens, this is where the work is.

Stay. Breathe. Be still.
Your nervous system will thank you.

Retreat set up.
It’s a pinch myself moment when I look at the space we’ve created and the people who get so much from using it.
Healing happens in communities, when people stand shoulder to shoulder, share their stories and their truths and allow their voices to be heard.
Day one completed- there’s been tears and there’s been laughter and everything inbetween.
Another full day tomorrow.
It’s such an honour to do this work, to be trusted to hold people in their experience.
And working with the one and only feeling so very grateful today. And fully living my purpose ❤️
Thank you to also for providing such nourishing food for the day. Absolute legend. And also doing the work for our men 🙏

Who’s coming on the next one - November…. Is a space yours?

Good evening!
I wanted to post this asap as there are only 12 spaces for this session, but as our donation based offerings increase- the first sliding scale sound bath is now live on gym catch. I will post the link below.
These will always happen on a weds as part of the donation based day, hopefully- once a month depending on the interest really.
7pm-8:30 and this one is on the 23rd July.
The sound will be approx 60 mins with time either side to settle and to come around.
Tag your friends and family who you’d love to share this with.
Very excited to be able to offer this to you.

We have a website again 🤩
With an up to date timetable 🤩
I need to add on the rest of the practitioners and upload some free taster classes (soon) and my lovely designer friend is working very hard to link the booking system … but it’s live and it’s very nearly complete.

Go check it out let me know what you think ❤️🙏

Weaving together body, mind, and spirit using yoga, breathwork, massage & sound healing

Coming in July. Actual bliss ❤️

From Wednesday the 2nd July the studio will be open for meditation. There will be different times for different options. They will all be donation based. Exact times to be confirmed… but as an idea the day will look like this:
7am-7:30 guided moving meditation
7:45-8:45 quiet meditation (candle gazing, journalling, are all options- we will have prompts should you need them)

A mid morning gentle yoga class
Lunch time guided meditation & quiet meditation

Then the afternoon will be opened up for you to come and enjoy the space as you need. Whether it’s quiet company, to borrow a book, to colour, draw, free movement or quiet reflection.

The evening will eventually see the return of Emma with her vinyasa yoga and there will be a donation based sound bath monthly with me.

The kettle will be on and my self or Claire From Spirit Moon Studios will be on hand to guide or support if needed.

I am developing a ‘how to’ guide for beginner, intermediate and beyond, levels of meditation. It’s actually, in theory more straightforward than you think… and it really is about practice.

We cannot wait for this.
Hope to see you there

Nat & Claire xx

Em and I are coming together one more time before the summer holidays kick in.
If you are looking for a day to yourself to be guided in mindfulness meditations and practices, soothing yoga flows and restorative sound healing… also a delish lunch - maybe one of these spaces is yours.
Please book via Emma mindfulmewithemma@hotmail.com

Now available at a heavily discounted price while I complete the last 5 months of my training.
But wtf is a holistic massage ?
In all honesty it’s way more than I had imagined and I’m so excited to bring this healing modality.
Some useful stuff:
Holistic massage— is a therapeutic bodywork approach that treats you as a whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than focusing solely on isolated physical symptoms. It is deeply rooted in the concept that physical tension, emotional blocks, and energetic imbalances are interrelated, so combines traditional hands-on techniques with an awareness of energy flow, breath, and mindful presence. In practice, a holistic massage session might blend Swedish or deep-tissue strokes with gentle rocking, acupressure points, aroma (essential oils), guided breathwork, and intuitive energy work—all aimed at harmonizing your entire system. DREAMY.
So much more in comments ❤️
