The Luna Shala

We’re excited to announce that Hannah will be joining us from 11th March to run a weekly pilates class! Hannah has a huge amount of experience and we can’t wait for her first session.

Here’s another from Hannah:

Hi! I’m Hannah.

I’ve been a lover and teacher of Pilates for around five years now, and I’m still amazed by how diverse and inclusive it is. Pilates brings together strength-building, mobility work, and relaxation all in one beautiful practice.

I’m currently studying Health Care and Health Science with the Open University, and I have a real passion for researching and doing what I can to reduce health inequalities.

Because of that, I always aim to make my classes a welcoming, supportive space for everyone. When I began teaching, I knew I didn’t want to work in big chain gyms, I wanted to work with people who face barriers and show them just how empowering and inclusive exercise can be.

I’d love to see you at a class sometime soon. If you have any questions or want to know a little more about Pilates, please feel free to get in touch! 💖

UPDATE: STUDIO HIRE AT LUNA SHALA

Thank you for the wonderful response to the studio hire post! I've had lots of interest and it's been lovely to meet some of you already - a beautiful mix of practitioners finding their home here.
I'd particularly love to hear from anyone looking to offer a Saturday morning yoga class. The space is available and waiting for the right teacher.

If that's you (or you know someone), get in touch 🌙

With thanks to Mary from Sound Mind Healing for this beautiful picture from her Friday night Sound Bath.

We all have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can sometimes neglect our relationship with ourselves. Let me be your advocate and show you the way to inner-peace.

*** HIRE LUNA SHALA ***

Luna Shala is a beautiful, intimate studio space available to hire in Ilkeston, Derbyshire - and there's nowhere quite like it.
Housed in a converted church hall, the studio is dressed with flowing voile, fairy lights, and a dark wood floor that grounds you the moment you walk in.

Crystals and dried flowers fill the room. Mats, bolsters, and pillows are all available for your students. There's a kitchen available for hosting, cups and glasses included! Free parking on - street parking.

People often say it feels like coming home. That's the intention.

We're looking for practitioners who are genuinely invested in growing their own community - teachers and therapists, who care about the experience they create, and who want a space that reflects that care.

If you run yoga, movement, sound, meditation, therapeutic or wellbeing sessions and you're building something real, or maybe you’re established and looking for a unique location, we'd love to have you here.

The venue also works well as an interesting meeting space with everything you need for a memorable session.
Daytime and weekend slots available, with some evenings. £15 per hour

To enquire or arrange a visit, get in touch with Isabel via DM.

🌊 You don’t have to go to the edges of the world to find inner peace…
Especially when you’ve got The Luna Shala — tucked inside an old church hall between Derby and Nottingham, quite possibly the furthest point from the sea you can reach.

That soothing ocean sound in the background?
That’s your breath — always with you, always ready to calm the mind.
(…or it might be the heating pipes. We’re working on that. 😅)

You don’t need to travel the world to meet yourself.
Ease, presence, and a moment of exhale can be found right on your doorstep.

✨ Join us for yoga, breathwork, strength training, pregnancy classes, gentle flows, Wild Moon sessions, weekend morning classes and more at The Luna Shala, Old Baptist Church, Ilkeston.

Our little community at The Luna Shala is growing… and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful. ✨

From pregnancy yoga to baby massage, from Wild Moon Circles to Gentle Yoga flow, and now our beautiful weekend morning classes — it feels like the Shala is becoming a true home for so many of you.

Workshops are blossoming too: Yin, Cacao, Sound Healing, breathwork and more… each one adding richness, rest, and connection to this space we share.

And we’re so delighted to now offer the studio for community group bookings — because this place was always meant to be shaped by the people who gather here.

Thank you for being part of The Luna Shala’s story. We love being part of your life. 🌙🤎

✨ What is Conscious Connected Breathwork? ✨

Conscious Connected Breathwork is a powerful, transformative practice that uses a continuous, rhythmic breathing pattern to help you access deeper layers of your body, mind, and spirit. Unlike everyday breathing, this intentional technique bypasses the busy mind, allowing your nervous system to awaken, your emotions to be felt and released, and your energy to flow more freely.

This type of breathwork isn’t only suitable for those with trauma, it’s also an amazing tool for those on a spiritual journey or seeking personal growth as it supports with a deeper connection, connecting with other realms and breaking down barriers that prevent us from being the best version of ourself 🫶

Some benefits of Conscious Connected Breathwork are -

💫 Releases stored tension & emotion — helping to clear blockages held in the body.

🧘 Deepens self-awareness — allowing you to connect with your inner wisdom.

🌈 Supports with connecting to the deepest parts of ourselves.

🤍 Expands states of consciousness — opening pathways for clarity, healing, and insight.

🦋 Boosts vitality — increasing oxygen flow, energy levels, and presence.

💫Increases our capacity to deal with stress and uncomfortable emotions.

🌸 Connection to our body and breath which can bring peace and joy 💕

There’s still places available on this Sundays Conscious Connected Breathwork and sound healing session. Message me to book on or for more details 💗

Leaving the studio at 8.30pm after a wonderful Wild Moon Circle and tagging in Little Legs with Lauren as she unloads her car which is FULL of everything she needs to create a Halloween spectacular ready for tomorrow morning. You’re all in for a treat!
