WORKSHOPS......

Starting a Self Practice
For many the prospect of practicing at home is both alluring and daunting in equal measure. This workshop is designed to help you begin a self-practice and will explore the foundations of a simple sequence that you can replicate comfortably at home, the imperative of the breath and keen observance as you practice & how you might add to the sequence over time so that your practice can grow with you. We will also explore some of the common pitfalls yogis face when starting out on the mat at home.
11am -1.30pm Friday 23rd September @ Downdog & CrowLAL

Spring Workshop

The third in my ever popular series of seasonal workshops. Spring is a time for detoxifying and rejuvenating after the long winter. Our yoga practice will reflect this, and will be full of energising sun salutations, cleansing twists & uplifting backbends. The asana will be complemented by pranayama and meditation practices that also focus on the increased dynamism and creativity of spring. The two hour yoga session will be followed by a home made seasonal lunch. Suzanne's artistic transformation of the space for lunch is inspiration in itself. 

Winter Workshop

The second in a series of four seasonal workshops, this one designed with winter in mind. By the end of January we are well beyond the shortest day but still have a lot of winter to get through. Winter is a time for becoming quieter and for reflection, and to pause before the busyness and the creativity of the spring. With this in mind, the asana practice will be a warming and fluid to start - to counter any tendency to stagnate with the cold - and then deeply relaxing and introspective. The whole workshop will be interwoven with breathing practices, and there will be a lot of time for a long and restorative sivasana & guided meditation.
The yoga will be followed by a seasonal vegetarian lunch and warming teas, in the beautiful setting that is Downdog & Crow.
 10.45am-2.45pm,  Friday January 22nd,     Downdog & Crow, Woodstock.

New Year Workshop

Saturday January 2nd 2016 10-12.30 Enstone Parish Hall
 Reignite your yoga practice for 2016 and start the year off on a good foot.
This will be a two and a half hour workshop to detoxify, rejuvenate and restore after the festive season. 
The session will be designed specifically to help to recover after a busy time, when our systems have a 
tendency to get overloaded, as well as provide an opportunity to plant seeds for positive change for 2016.
The session will also have plenty of time for meditation & deep relaxation and we will end with warming and detoxifying teas.

Late Autumn Workshop

 10.45am-2.45pm,  Friday November 14th,     Downdog & Crow, Woodstock.

Being more in tune with the seasons is one of the great keys to happiness. Clearing out in the autumn, turning inwards in the winter, re-emerging in spring and embracing the summer.
With this in mind, this late autumn workshop is the first in a series of 4, each designed according to the needs & propensities of the season. A two hour yoga session, balanced between a dynamic and restorative practice, will be followed by a  delicious vegetarian lunch, served with infused waters and home brewed herbal teas. The course will be held in the beautiful setting that is Woodstock's 'Downdog & Crow' yoga studio.
Spaces limited so early booking advised.

Spring Retreat on the Turkish Coast

26th April-2nd May 2016     Suleyman’s Gardens -  Huzur Vadisi

A week long Spring retreat on the Lycian coast of Turkey. 
Suleyman’s Garden is in a stunning location overlooking the Mediterranean sea and islands, with swimming from a small rocky cove less than a ten minute walk away. 
Each day will consist of a two hour dynamic morning practice and an hour and a half restorative practice in the evenings. Afternoons can be spent lazing like a cat in the late spring sunshine, walking along the pine covered coastal paths or taking a small fishing boat to some nearby islands.
The food, which is predominantly vegetarian, is grown in the gardens surrounding the cabins and is said to be a huge highlight.

The retreat is currently full but you are welcome to join the waitlist.
