Join us for an 8-week yoga journey focused on releasing tension in the fascia, the stretchy tissue that holds your body together, and regulating your nervous system. Briefly, fascia release is key to improving mobility and reducing discomfort, while a balanced nervous system helps manage stress and promotes relaxation. Our gentle yoga classes combine mindful movements and breathwork to enhance both your physical and emotional resilience, contributing to your overall well-being in a subtle yet profound way. Whether you’re new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, come and experience a nurturing and welcoming space for self-exploration and connection. These sessions will be held in a small group of people (max 12 participants) to ensure personal attention and a supportive environment

The group will last 6 sessions and it will explore anxiety, helping us to understand it and better manage it. The sessions will cover what anxiety is and how our body, thoughts and behaviours can be affected by it. We will explore different tools and techniques to learn how to manage stress symptoms and lower down anxiety levels, to make the experience of anxiety more tolerable and functional. We will integrate tools and techniques coming from CBT, Compassion-focused therapy and Mindfulness.

Come and learn this relaxing, repetitive and ancient art practice. No experience needed! Weaving is a calming, self-regulating, and absorbing art practice that dates back over 12,000 years. Weaving has been considered a valuable cultural skill in communities all over the world including Mexico, Ghana, China, Appalachia, Aboriginal, ancient Egyptian, Indian, Guatemalan, Scottish . . . Freestyle tapestry weaving is a practice where you have the freedom choose your own colours, textures and patterns, and where you can lose yourself in the power of fibre art. “I was surprised at how calm I felt after an hour of weaving.” “I have chosen bright colours that really stand out. One day I hope to become as bold as the weaving I am creating” “It has been good coming to a group where I can talk if I want to, and it’s ok to just sit in silence and weave if I don’t feel like talking, and either way I know I am welcome”
