yoga & therapeutic thai massage
A Pride month celebration with Lou Thomas and Leo Taylor, to bring together the LGBTQIA+ community and their friends and family, to slow down, connect, and rest with accessible yoga, meditation and shared Thai massage, vegan snacks, herbal teas and goody bags.
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:

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.

I am delighted to introduce you to a new vibrational treatment that I’m offering as part of my traditional therapeutic Thai massage practice: Tok Sên (hammer energy lines). Gently tapping a tamarind mallet on differently shaped wooden hammers onto the body releases muscle tension and relieves pain. It also improves circulation, promotes healing and energetic balance as well as being deeply relaxing and meditative.
Tok Sên also stimulates the ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) which releases dopamine, oxytocin and endorphins, as well as improving function in parts of the brain involved in social cognition, self awareness and satisfaction.

Look around.
All that clutter used to be money.
All that money used to be time.
With the onslaught of sales and push to consume, it’s easy to get caught up, reactive, knee jerk. Marketing works on the premise of creating a problem you didn’t know you had (from hairy legs to ageing bodies to vegetables that could be chopped differently) and then offering you the miracle cure/fix/balm. All of which is available, on this one day only (unless you subscribe for early access, special, lucky you!) at such an amazing deal. So you didn’t know you had a problem, now you can fix it and quick… just don’t think about the mindless consumption, the landfill, the production values, worldwide shipping, waste, or even if you/ the recipient of your gift actually needs more stuff?
Time for a new way of giving. More thoughtful. More meaningful. More sustainable. The gift of time and space, compassion, deep care and attention.
I have vouchers for Black Friday, Christmas or any special occasion.
They are not discounted because they are of real value, and offer therapeutic space for deep healing, physically and emotionally.
Choose from vouchers for:
• Therapeutic Thai Massage
• Partner massage session – learn techniques to share with a family member or friend
• 1-2-1 Yoga
• Group / family yoga session – in person or on Zoom
All are £50 for 60 mins/ £70 for 90 mins or or £90 2 hours and I will email you a personalised voucher. Call/text Leo on 0780 907 5602 or email to book or discuss your requirements.
