Movement and stillness are both powerful allies in recovery 🌿

Meditation offers calm in the midst of uncertainty, lowering stress and creating space for healing. Gentle yoga can ease fatigue, improve sleep, and help reconnect you to your body in a structured and supportive way.

Together, these practices form an essential part of integrative health care - helping to restore balance, clarity, and strength.

In a world shaped by patriarchal capitalism - where profit often comes before care - women-led wellness businesses offer a vital counterpoint.

They model connection, reciprocity, and integrity, showing a way of working rooted in compassion, interdependence, and ecological wisdom.

By coming to events, classes, and spaces created by women, you’re not just supporting them, you’re supporting a culture of care and resilience, for yourself and the planet.

Surya Health is proud to collaborate with Mindful in Nature, showing how working together can amplify care, connection, and positive change.

Child's pose (balasana) is a gentle stretch for the back, hips, groin, chest and shoulders. Named for the way your spine takes the singular curve it had in utero, this shape is stable and grounded making it a place to surrender and let the earth support you. It’s commonly suggested as a counter pose after backbending and provides a chance to slow down, catch your breath and sink into the moment.

Not only does this pose stretch and release tension, it calms the mind and improves mobility. A simple pose you can also do anytime from home.

How do you feel in downward dog?

Downward dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) energises the whole body, takes pressure off the spine, opens the shoulders and hamstrings, and helps release tension.

While you're in the pose, take a moment to spread your fingers, gripping ever so slightly with your fingertips, lengthen through your spine by tilting your sit bones skywards, draw your lower ribs in towards the front of your hips, tuck your chin towards your chest and look towards your navel, sink your heels towards the mat and breathe deeply, emphasising the experience of drawing your belly in on the exhales.... let your body reset.

Our Story

From our very first experiences with yoga, both of us knew that this would be an important aspect of our lives. The ability to tune in to the felt sensations, to slow the busy mind, and to explore movement in subtle and interesting ways intrigued us. For many years our meditation practice was central, along with attending regular yoga classes, and developing our skills through education and training in naturopathy and yoga teaching (Chandrika), massage, caring, social work and counselling (Satyam). As we have matured into our 40’s we’ve both achieved plenty of our career goals; being able to work in cancer and palliative care settings, Masters degrees in our respective fields, and now Chandrika is embarking on her PhD in integrative oncology. What we have come to understand is just how important keeping mentally and physically active, strong, and supple is in order to live out our dreams. The emphasis in our practices has gradually shifted to what we feel is ‘intelligent asana’, a mindful approach to moving and being. There’s room for many different approaches to yoga to suit different people during different phases of life. We hope that our small studio (max 10 students) is an inviting space where we can offer you the tools of yoga and support you to find the yoga that works for you. Each week during term time we have 5 classes on the schedule - dynamic vinyasa on Monday nights and Saturday mornings, meditative yin on Tuesday nights, therapeutic hatha on Wednesday evenings - ideal if you’re dealing with challenges on any level, and women’s wellness hatha on Thursday evenings to honour the particular phases of women’s lives including pre and post natal care.
