This newsletter covers July and August as I step back and take a break from organising classes and events until September. There is a stillness to July and August that I love as we leave the giddy heights of midsummer behind us and the flurry and blossoming extravaganza of Spring and early Summer. The world seems to pause, offering a moment to look back to the beginning of the year, reflect on the intentions set, and ponder all that has been achieved so far.
There is a maturing, a deeper shade of green, the canopy closing, the outdoors is calling us, and nature is inviting connection. For me, this is a time for rest and relaxation, lying in the garden, or on the beach, swimming in the sea or pottering on my allotment; these are some of my most relaxing times.
A reminder to check your teachers’ holiday times and the calendar, as the centre is quieter through the Summer. Although some teachers will take a break, we seem to have more going on than we normally do at this time of year.
Don’t forget there is a new weekly class starting on Thursday 23rd July, 4.30-5.45 pm with Iyengar Yoga teacher Jane Hutchins.
New Teacher: Hannah Wilson
A welcome to Hannah of Wild Lotus Holistic Healing, who is offering Morning and evening Sound Workshops and small group or individual sound and Reiki therapy sessions in July and August. You can find out more here.
New Therapist: Loulou James
We also have therapist Loulou James joining us in the therapy room. Her work centres on natural back care and spine health, not only as a structural concern, but as an integrated expression of how we move, adapt and respond to life. Many people come to her for help with back-related symptoms, but her work often extends into improvements in breathing, mobility, emotional regulation and a greater sense of internal coherence. You can find out more here.
Looking ahead to September
Basics and Beginners 8 week Short Course in Pilates with Sharon Morgan. Katie Pitney will be back again, offering her massage in the therapy room.
Have a wonderful relaxing Summer from us all.

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
