Gifts of presence

Voucher for therapeutic Thai massage - the perfect gift

As a small ‘business’, I’m not offering Black Friday deals as it’s symptomatic of overconsumption, excess, waste and reactivity. The very nature of it can breed a heightened state of stress and anxiety, which is the antithesis of my offerings, which are designed to bring calm, spaciousness and a deeper sense of connection to breath, body and community.

But you can gift these offerings, to yourself or others:

Gift order form

Pay it forward
If you would like to gift someone in the community to receive an hour’s massage or attend a yoga class, you can contribute here Even a little makes a difference. Whenever the contributions add up to the cost of a class or massage, I will randomly select someone from the list. This is specifically for folk who are struggling financially, and cannot otherwise access holistic healthcare.

You can also nominate someone to go on the nomminations list.

Ayurveda for menopause

Indie Foolhea

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.

New year classes

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.
