✨ Radiant Heart and Sacred Love – Special Workshop with Marcia Ash ✨
We’re so happy to be coming together again after the summer for a very special workshop on Saturday 13th September, 10:15am (online via Zoom).
This heart-centered session will be guided by the wonderful Marcia Ash. In her words:
“The focus of our workshop will be on opening our hearts and exploring the pathway of a radiant heart towards sacred love. Of course, we cannot achieve all of this in one workshop, and for most not in our lifetime! However, I hope to provide a space to create space in the heart and achieve a sense of peace and connection with a deeper part of ourselves. Using heart focused yogic, movement, breath, and pinch of philosophy, I hope you can find a deeper connection with yourself and your capacity to love yourself more dearly and compassionately.”
🌿 Expect a flowing fusion of Dru and Vinyasa Yoga, gentle philosophy, breathwork, movement, and deep relaxation – all held in Marcia’s warm, supportive style.
📅 Saturday 13th September
🕥 10:15am (online via Zoom)
💫 Please register in advance here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/BFgVFwxORDaoMZKeq2MLwA
Bring along blankets, cushions, or blocks to help you feel supported and at ease.
We can’t wait to share this nourishing time together. 💜
