As the longest night of the year arrives, join us for a deeply nourishing Winter Solstice practice designed to bring quiet, comfort and restoration to body and mind. This gentle, comforting evening invites you to slow down, soften and settle into the stillness of the season.

We’ll begin with grounding, cosy movement and deep, easeful stretching to release tension and make space within. As the body unwinds, you’ll be guided into Yoga Nidra—an effortless state of rest that invites complete surrender.  Wrapped in warmth and soft lighting, you’ll enjoy moments of therapeutic massage, cocooning and nurturing rest. A soothing sound bath will wash over you, harmonising the nervous system and inviting deep inner calm. We’ll close with a heart-opening cacao ritual to support reflection, connection and renewal as we step gently into the returning light.

Come as you are, and allow this Solstice sanctuary to hold you—an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember your own quiet centre at this busy time.

Move, relax and restore the body, mind and soul.

I agree to these terms and conditions

In any physical activity, risk of injury is possible. I am aware of the physical risks involved with exercise and understand it is my personal responsibility to consult with my doctor regarding my participation. I release the teacher and Balanceworks Yoga from any liability claims and I assume responsibility for any risk or injury I may sustain as a result of my participation in this class. I understand that it is my responsibility to find a pace that suits me.

Join us for a friendly and welcoming **Chair Yoga** class designed for **everyone** – whether you're new to yoga, working with limited mobility, recovering from injury, or just looking for a gentler way to stretch and strengthen.

Using the support of a chair, we explore mindful movement, breath awareness, and relaxation in a way that’s safe, accessible, and enjoyable. There will be options to stand and improve our balance and coordination and sometimes gentle movement/dance to music (something we have found to be really calming and fun!)

You’ll improve flexibility, balance, and posture while calming the mind and boosting your mood. A chair offers a stable base for less mobile individuals and is highly adaptable to the physical needs of a variety of disabilities and injuries, such as people with special needs who have varying degrees of physical disability. Chair yoga can also benefit people with other conditions, like high blood pressure; anxiety; chronic fatigue syndrome; arthritis; multiple sclerosis; depression; and chronic pain. Also suitable for those with mobility issues including wheelchair users.

Expect a light-hearted, supportive atmosphere where you can go at your own pace. Come as you are – all ages, all bodies, all levels welcome 😊

🪑 **No need to get down on the floor** \
💫 **Leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and more connected**

I agree to these terms and conditions.

My Yoga for All classes are a blend of the best of traditional and contemporary yoga and suitable for all levels. Great for releasing tension from shoulders & hips whilst building core strength as we journey safely towards a peak pose with many stops along the way.

Expect dynamic movement, creative flows, strengthening postures, breathwork, and moments of stillness to support your whole self — body, mind, and spirit. We’ll explore energising sequences and grounding practices, all guided by the breath to cultivate presence and inner calm. The session closes with deep relaxation, optional mini massage, and a short meditation — offering space to truly rest, reconnect with yourself, and connect with others in a warm, supportive environment.

Either drop-in or book the full 7 weeks (best value), whatever works best for your schedule. If you book the full term, you can choose from 4 local venues each week for ultimate flexibility. Each session is recorded so that you can also catch up from home if you are unable to make a class one week.

Anne Paul

This is my second  term with Emma which I have enjoyed immensely. 1 had done yoga for many years pre covid but had not gone back to a class for the last 4 years I have fallen . back into it with the easy natural way Emma teaches. Not only is she one of the best yoga instructors I have had but a thoroughly nice person. Great personal skills as well as having the most amazing hands for our end of class massage. I look forward to the class every week.

Thank you Emma for another relaxing yoga session. I really look forward to Wednesday evenings; they are my oasis of calm each week.

Caroline  Richardson 

The class is perfect for all abilities and ages. Emma shows a range of levels of movement and the relaxation at the end, you leave feeling both challenged and relaxed. As someone returning to yoga after a long break, I have a new understanding and love for it. Highly recommend to anyone!

Lovely to start the new term.  Really enjoyable class, thank you Emma!

Julie Vesely

Emma really helped to re build my confidence during the session following a fairly lengthy break from yoga. She worked me just at the right pace to test me yet adapt certain movements and also enable me time to reach my current capability. 
I very much look forward to working with her in the future. 

Sally Dexter 

Loved this weeks session, the gentle speeches particularly helped with my hips and back, hoping that mu balance will improve over time. So glad I started Yoga, Emma seems to understands individual abilities and gives enough encouragement without pressure. 

A 7 week term providing a soulful mix of flow, strength, breathwork, and relaxation to nourish body and mind. Book the term or pay as you go.

1-2-1 Yoga

Would you like to improve wellbeing and performance in your workplace? Studies prove that having an opportunity at the beginning or middle of a work day to move, mobilise and stretch the body can increase mental clarity, creativity, focus and productivity for the rest of the day. In-work yoga sessions are also a great incentive/ reward to be able to offer to your employees.

Our yoga sessions provide the perfect opportunity for you and your colleagues to take a moment out of the day to recharge, refresh and rebalance in body and mind. We normally include some strength and mobility work, energising movement flows, breathwork and mindfulness but can tailor the sessions to what works best for you and your business.

We can provide mats, blocks and equipment (for up to 20), you just need to provide the space. We can work around equipment to an extent. As long as you can create a bit of floor space, we can get people yoga-ing! Option for Chair Yoga too if that suits your layout/ colleagues better. We are happy to lead a session for as many people as your space allows, the price remains the same.

Contact Emma on balanceworksyoga1@gmail.com or 07905 281629 for more information and pricing. Prices start from £110 but depend on length, frequency and location of class. Discounts available for booking a block of sessions.

Or simply select a date and time that suits you and we will be in touch to arrange the rest and discuss payment options.

Yoga in the Workplace

In today’s fast-paced, tech-saturated world, young people—and teachers—are under more pressure than ever. The constant presence of phones, social media, and academic demands can leave minds overwhelmed and bodies tense. Yoga offers a powerful antidote.

Bringing yoga into your school—whether as part of PE lessons, an after-school club, a one-off wellbeing week session, or a dedicated staff class—gives pupils and staff a chance to *reset*. It creates space to move the body, calm the mind, and build resilience from the inside out.

Yoga helps children develop focus, confidence, balance, and emotional regulation—all vital life skills that support both learning and wellbeing. For staff, it offers a much-needed pause, helping to reduce stress, prevent burnout, and promote a more positive working environment.

This is more than just stretching—it’s a practice that supports mental health, encourages mindfulness, and helps every individual find a moment of calm in an increasingly distracted world.
