Ayurveda is a vast and ancient science that provides a solid foundation to live well in all phases of life. In alignment with the seasons, elements and your unique makeup, we can find balance wherever we are.
Menopause is one of many changes that make up the female reproductive system across a lifetime. By looking at the history of your cycle, we can start to see what menopause may look like and adjust accordingly. This time is all about soothing symptoms and nourishing the body to help this transition flow more smoothly through nutrition, lifestyle, herbs and therapies.
On November 16, Indie Foolheea (she/her), will be joining our regular Yoga for Menopause session to talk about how Ayurveda can help you on your transformational journey through this life change.
Indie is a Yoga and meditation guide, Ayurvedic Lifestyle consultant and Therapist. Her work is informed by sharing from the roots of Yoga and Ayurveda to our lives now. She also creates spaces for people of the global majority to be seen, heard and to rest. She believes that self care and collective care are inherently linked and shares with this in mind.
Indie shares a variety of practices beyond asana including Pranayama, mantra, meditation, marmas and mudras. Whilst also starting her own Ayurvedic practice supporting people through nutrition, herbs, lifestyle and bodywork.
If you would like to join this or our regular sessions, every Wednesday, 7.30-9pm upstairs at the Hanover Community Centre, email.
So welcome to 2022! How are you? Feeling ready and motivated or sluggish and tired? To be honest, it feels like a lot of us (myself included, we all had Covid for Christmas, the joy!) are low on energy. With this in mind, classes will be gentle, expansive and responsive. We’ll be focussing on the breath as key to bringing in new energy and releasing stagnation. We’ll explore self-massage techniques to relieve aches and pains and start from the ground up, moving in ways that restore rather than deplete. Most importantly, however you are, you are welcome. Whether you’re new to yoga, restarting a lapsed practise or continuing, join a warm and joyful community that will lift your spirits and increase your feelings of connection. So look forward to seeing you.

With the new half term, just a little more change (nothing dramatic). I am shifting the Thursday online class to 6.30-7.45pm as my kids now have clubs etc to go to and, as you know, I’m all about shifting/responding to make more space!
I hope this isn’t inconvenient for any of you and look forward to seeing you in class.
Of course if you are able and would like to join me in person, I am teaching Mondays 9.30-10.30am at Brighton Natural Health Centre and Mondays 7.30-9pm (also streaming on Zoom) and Saturdays 9.30-11am at the Hanover Community Centre. Get in touch to book. Email
Look forward to seeing you soon, in person or online,
It’s been a long time since we’ve been in the room together my friends, and many of you have been coming along to Zoom yoga in the meantime – it’s been a privilege to share the journey with you.
So it’s with great excitement that I’ll be seeing some of you from tomorrow, Monday May 17, in person again. You can see the full timetable including details of how to book here. Monday night at the Hanover Centre is now fully booked but there are spaces for Saturday morning’s class and Monday morning at Brighton Natural Health Centre.
Many of you have really enjoyed the convenience, the privacy and being able to drift off – either into deeper meditation or to sleep! – in savasana, so I am also continuing Thursday early evening class, 6-7.15pm on Zoom, link here.
Pregnancy yoga and Mama and Baby yoga will be continuing both on Zoom and in person.
Get in touch to book in-person classes.

You will need your own mat and if you can, bring a blanket or something warm for Savasana
