Celebrating Summer Solstice 2020
Featuring online yoga, breathwork, and painting
As we celebrate the time that stands still, as we prepare for summer, we invite you to celebrate the day with yoga, breathwork and completing a painting that brings in the sun, a reminder of times past bringing in Stonehenge and wearing a garland of daisies, St John's Wort and violets, for protection and honouring of this time of year.
No previous experience required.

Breathwork Session
Start your summer off by cleansing the body, mind & soul of all that is no longer serving you.
In a group setting, using the power of your breath, you will be guided through a Breathwork Session. You will be using a safe and natural breathing method which connects us to our subconscious mind; the house of our deepest thoughts, ideas, beliefs and desires. This breathing rhythm creates an energy flow throughout the body, washing through any tension or blockages in the system that has been created by not allowing ourselves to feel or experience things throughout our lifetime. It restores emotional balance, while relaxing, cleansing and refreshing the human body & mind. This breathing practice can also bring about improvements in health, mental clarity, overall well-being, as well as create healthier breathing habits.
