This November, we’re coming together as a studio to take part in Mind Charity’s 30 Days of Yoga Challenge — supporting mental health, mindfulness, and movement every day.

What’s it all about?
For 30 days, we’ll show up on our mats, finding stillness, strength, and connection, while raising awareness and funds for Mind, an incredible charity supporting mental health across the UK.

What you’ll gain by taking part:
This challenge isn’t just about daily yoga — it’s about nurturing your mental wellbeing, building consistency, and feeling supported through community.

You can use a combination of:
✨ Our studio’s regular classes
✨ Mind’s inspiring 30-day yoga programme
✨ Additional practices, reflections, and mindful moments shared by our Soulfuk team.
Together, these elements will help you deepen your practice, reconnect with yourself, and feel part of something truly meaningful.

How we’re joining in:
✨ Sign up individually via Mind’s website https://www.mind.org.uk/get-involved/donate-or-fundraise/take-on-an-active-challenge/30-days-of-yoga-in-november-2025/
✨ Share on your stories that you’re joining, and tag us!
✨ Join our WhatsApp support group to stay motivated and share your journey

On Sunday, 30th November, we’ll host a special community gathering and celebration day.
All proceeds from any classes on the timetable that day will be donated directly to Mind, marking the end of our 30 days of mindful movement together.

Whether you join for your own wellbeing, your yoga journey, or to support others, we’d love for you to be part of this wave of community and calm.

🌘✨ New Moon in Libra ✨🌒

Hello beautiful souls, this evening we pause beneath a fresh lunar sky. As the moon slips into Libra, we are offered a gentle reset: a moment to reflect, realign and consciously invite in balance.

This New Moon brings a quiet, receptive energy: a space to plant new intentions with ease, not effort. Libra reminds us to move gently, to seek beauty and balance, and to remember that every connection we nurture starts first in the heart 🧡

Drop one word (or emoji) in the comments that captures what you are ready to invite in this cycle.

Holding space for beginnings, balance, and the gentle art of growing together

Breathe & Bloom — A Soulful Festive Morning

This December, I’m so excited to be collaborating with the truly wonderful The Leicestershire Flower Farm again for a festive morning of calm, creativity, and connection.

We’ll begin with a Pilates flow to awaken the body, followed by a hands-on Christmas floristry workshop, crafting your own beautiful seasonal centrepiece to take home.

A warming festive drink will greet you on arrival — a chance to slow down, breathe, and embrace the season.

✨ Saturday 13th December 10-12:15pm
✨ Ticknall Village Hall

A moment to pause, move, create, and connect.

✨ Soulful Sanctuary Moments ✨

Tonight, our community came together to celebrate and say farewell to our beautiful ray of sunshine, Adèle, as she embarks on a new chapter in Canada.

As I watched everyone connect — the laughter, the heartfelt conversations, the support, the holding of space — I was deeply moved. What’s being created here at Soulful Sanctuary goes far beyond yoga & Pilates classes. It’s connection. It’s love. It’s a shared energy that can’t quite be put into words.

Adèle, thank you for everything you’ve brought to this special space — your wisdom, warmth, energy and presence will forever be part of our sanctuary.

And to every single person who makes this community what it is, including our wonderful new teachers, who continue to bring such energy and warmth into the studio, thank you. You inspire me every day with your love and light.

Here’s to continuing to grow, connect, and hold space for one another.

The Soulful Sanctuary family really is the best family 🧡

Meet Emma (pretty cool name, right! 😜)

Sunday’s just got a whole lot better with this wonderful human around. She creates the most beautiful practises, and is ready and waiting for you on a Sunday at 9:15am. She will also be taking over from Adèle on a Tuesday evening for Strength & Sculpt, she’s a fan of a bit of spice, so you’re in for a treat!

Emma is a busy mum of three who finds balance amidst the chaos of family life through yoga. For her, the mat is a space to reconnect, gain clarity, and challenge both body and mind. She brings creativity and playfulness to her practice, exploring movement with curiosity and joy.
As a life coach, Emma has witnessed the transformative power of mindset and breath work in how we show up each day. She sees yoga as the meeting point of breath, movement, and mindset—cultivating focus, energy, and presence that carries into everyday life.
Off the mat, Emma enjoys time with her family, cooking, cheering from the sidelines at sports events, and embracing the outdoors—whether in the mountains or paddle boarding on the water whenever she gets the chance.
She looks forward to sharing time on the mat—moving, growing, and discovering joy together.

Do you love mindful moments of movement, colour, flowers, and trying out new techniques?

Then the wonderful Karen from Millie Moth and I would love to invite you to join us for a relaxing morning of wellness and creativity at The Gasworks in Sudbury, for a collaborative workshop featuring Pilates and Alcohol Inks

We will begin the day with an energising and uplifting Pilates practise, and after some well earned refreshments, Millie Moth will then guide you through 2 hours of alcohol ink techniques, where you will use alcohol ink-based brush pens with splashes of neat alcohol on Yupo paper - you’ll get to explore a palette of colours and immerse yourself in this captivating and mindful process.

This workshop suits all skill levels so unwind and enjoy yourself in a warm and supportive environment. We provide all the materials you need, along with light refreshments, which are all included in the price. Plus, you’ll have the chance to browse the wonderful things on offer nearby too. The Gasworks itself is surrounded by a well managed woodland which is delightful for a stroll around. Pop 2 minutes up the lane and you’ll arrive at Sudbury Courtyard, where there’s a fabulous cafe (perfect for a spot of lunch!), as well as gorgeous independent shops and studios in historic buildings for you to browse. Beautiful Sudbury Hall is just beyond this, and the village of Sudbury is to the other side of the Gasworks, so there’s plenty to do around the area to make it a wonderful day out too!
