Yoga & Qigong
Saturday 14th November 2026 - 10am to 12.45pm
Bamford Moore Memorial Hall
£35
Turn up . . . Tune in . . . Chill out
Take respite from the chaos and nourish your body and soul with gentle flowing Qigong, warming hatha yoga, mini meditations and deep yin stretches.
When we press "pause" and slow right down we can begin to let go of our monkey mind and tune into a deep ocean of stillness within. This is or true nature and it's our birthright. Lizzy will guide you along this gentle path with tried and tested practices drawn from the ancient wisdom traditions.
Our session will begin with breathwork and gentle flowing qi gong to tune in and open up. Then we can spark up our inner fire with a spot of warming hatha yoga. Finally we'll be settling in for delicious yin stretches, restorative postures and a long and lazy yoga nidra (deep relaxation).
There's always time for plenty of cake and warming mugs of tea to restore our spirits too, so. . . book your place, grab your blanket and we'll press pause & restore ("the way out is in").
What is yin yoga?
In Yin yoga we use passive, longer held postures to work into the deepest tissues of the body - our connective tissues, ligaments, joints, bones the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians.
What is Qigong?
Qigong exercises are gentle flowing movements (similar to Tai Chi) which are easy to follow and suitable for all levels of mobility and fitness. Qigong builds and refines the "Qi" (chi) or energy in the body leading to increased vitality and the cultivation of a peaceful mind.
Yoga for Autumn
Saturday 17th October 2026 - 10am to 12.45pm
Bamford Moore Memorial Hall
£35
Tune in . . . warm up . . . chill out
Let me help you to re-connect with yourself, the Earth and her seasons with a warming yoga practice, balanced with yin / restorative yoga to allow you to fully embrace Autumn. We'll be slowing down our inner "clockspeed" with yoga practices to calm the mind, nurture the body and free the Qi.
Our session will begin with breathwork and gentle flowing qi gong to tune in and open up. Then we'll be finding our "yang"; shaking off the cobwebs with yoga flow and core connection to tune up and detox. . . . finally we'll be settling in for delicious yin stretches, restorative postures and a long and lazy yoga nidra (deep relaxation).
There'll also be time for sharing from the heart over a warming mug of tea and snacks. So, book your place, grab your blanket and take the journey inwards ("the way out is in").
