Yesterday's restorative meditation was so cosy & warm in the studio, lots of bolsters, blankets, eye pillows to support the body & allow the deepening down. Away from the rain & darkened skies. Imbolc feels were stirring, ideas opening, bellies filling the body can start to move out of wintertime, gentle movement to settle the physical before tucking in and lying down to rest into a Yoga Nidra : gently a scan of the body, reach into the breath, drop into that liminal space where the mind can soften.
Stretches to come back out with a quietness, the reverence for the consistency of the changes the moon, seasons, cycles, perpetual motion that we roll around in.
Once back in the room we shared a delicious tea this time of green cardamom, whole cloves, verbena leaf mint to waken back up. Banana & dark chocolate loaf slices were the sweet treat while we chatted & laughed.

A perfect way to flow gently through the year - a small intimate group.

Imbolc - that wonderful word that means we are halfway through from Winter Solstice to the Spring equinox - saps will be rising soon, the snowdrops are out, hopeful that we are through the downpours of mud season. Symbolising rebirth & fertility, the stirring of the new cycle as we head into our int...

Skin care 💗

Facials facials facials 💓

Such an in depth treatment looking after the face - including the neck, décolletage, scalp & shoulders. Often we prioritise the body for a massage but we hold so much tension in the jaw, forehead, or neck & shoulders that a facial is perfect to gently unravel.

Facial reflexology to work with the meridian's & organs. Crystals in gua sha, roller and mushroom form to work their magic and lots of organic natural products to nourish & cleanse.

Always starting with a consultation to ascertain what you might need emotionally, physically, for history of the skin & seasonally to choose masks, steams or tools we might use.

As we head towards February and the feel's of Valentines how ever you may roll with it a facial as a voucher or a gift to self is the perfect offering. To enjoy , celebrate bring in the love all facials booked in now and all of February will receive a free hand blended rose & lavender bath soak with dead sea salts & geranium - smells amazing & highly therapeutic.

Signature facial 75 minutes £85

Products choice from consultation Weleda, green people, neals yard & awakening rose balms & facial oils.
And not forgetting healing massage & techniques to reduce puffiness, reduce lines and lymphatic drainage 🩷.

Retreat time ✨✨
A weekend full of wonderful movement, moving between qigong on arrival to settle, yoga workshops, beautiful kali goddess invoking, techno dancing - hips not what they were 🤪
Sound baths, herbal tea ceremonies, fresh air & saunas and delicious veggie food to replenish. Laughter & high energy to lift winter feels.

All magicked together by the wonderful with an ease that allowed time and space to relax, a wonderful group of women to connect in with or slow quiet time with self to read & take baths ➡️📷 loved it and 3 nights gave it that extra length to really notice. Loved it thank you 🙏

And loved the venue & location which weirdly had been looking to book my own retreat in October so watch this space to find out more ....

Winter time foods and the 3 tastes to favour at this time of year...

❤️ Sweet is present in foods like rice, milk, dates, maple syrup, jaggery. The qualities are oily, cooling, and heavy and a sweet taste increases the vital energy and is wholesome in moderation to all the tissues (seven dhatus – plasma, blood, muscles, fat, bone, marrow and nerve tissue and reproductive tissues) it makes us feel good and promotes stability but in excess it can cause disorder and imbalance causing colds, congestion, heaviness, diabetes, laziness, and obesity.

❤️ Sour is found in vinegar, cheeses, lemon, green grapes, fermented foods, citrus fruits, sour cream. They are substances that are liquid, light, heating and oily in nature and like sweet, when in moderation they are positively refreshing, taste delicious, stimulate appetite, and energize the body. If used in excess they cause thirst, hyperacidity, acid indigestion and can aggravate or bring on skin conditions like dermatitis, acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

❤️ Salty holds moisture in the body, improves digestion, lubricates & helps clear obstructions of digestive areas but in large amounts could cause swelling or a water imbalance. Salty include seaweed, marmite, miso, tamari, miso broth & salts (try Cornish Sea salt, rock salt, pink Himalayan, and kala namak rather than table salt which can be quite treated and drying)

❤️ These are all calming for the nervous system in this season and staying away from cold, raw foods/salads, that are too cooling in winter, and upping servings of veggies – especially greens and root vegetables that are grounding because they grow in the ground – along with squashes, pumpkins and marrows that grow near to the ground, all foods that nourish and centre, while also having a good water content.

Yoga this week with me

Off we go nice and slow. This was yesterday a beautiful scenic walk with all the birds still enjoying the ice free parts of the water & calling to each other as they moved slowly through. Fresh air first thing & lots of birdy footprints on the ground.

Back to work week for most after a hopefully restful time - we will move with Winter in mind, warming up the body, noticing how we feel, breathing to find depth but equally finding space in a sense of resting poses too. Moving with the seasonal cycles. Enjoying our practice however that feels.

Wednesday 8am Awaken to the day
Focused energising movement.

Sunday 9 to 10.15
Sacred Sunday
An extended slower practice to restore & unwind.

Join me Faren

Book via Unity App or website.

Look forward to seeing you on the mat.
