This is your permission to ‘Winter’

What is Wintering?
Well, you might see it as a form of calm resilience. Just as nature withdraws in these chilly months, our bodies yearn to rest too. Wintering is about aligning with the season, softening our pace and giving ourselves the opportunity to turn inward.

These dark, cold months aren't for striving, they’re for conserving energy until the light returns. Just look at the natural world around us, there are no hard launches or bold goals in January, the earth is quiet, sleeping. It doesn’t worry about ‘not achieving’ because Spring always comes, bringing energy and rebirth.

Want to try ‘wintering’? Why not include some of the following into this season:
➡ Self care - long baths, gentle massages, delicious teas.
➡ Intentional rest - gift yourself time on the sofa!
➡ Slow, restorative yoga and soothing, gentle movement.
➡ Reflecting and planning without action - no pressure, just contemplation and dreaming.
➡ Warm, nourishing foods (spiced soups and excellent bread never fails!)
➡ Wrapping up and enjoying a winter walk - absorbing whatever limited vitamin D is on offer!
➡ Go to bed early with a good book and a hot water bottle
➡ Be selective with plans and let go of unnecessary things.

At Yoga Reading we have a number of nourishing offerings that feel perfect for honouring this season, including;

⭐ Soundbaths (31st January & 28th February)
⭐ Evening Flow (Tuesday evenings)
⭐ Unwind and Restore (Wednesday evenings)
⭐ Yin Yoga (Friday evenings)

Remember, doing less does not make you less. The spring will be here soon, your energy and light will return, for now, embrace the present - Happy Wintering!

Our Story

We are Yoga Reading. We are Katia and Sophie and Yoga Reading has grown out of our friendship and our total belief in the fact that movement makes you feel better. Every. Single. Time.

As we’ve built Yoga Reading, this belief has been moulded and elevated through our understanding that movement needs to be tailored to your body and your needs – which, guess what, change over time. What we need now in our 40’s is different from what we needed in our 20’s and we know this will continue to change. The skills we have built over the last ten years or so have equipped us with the knowledge of how to support our body’s to be strong and, most importantly, to improve our level of comfort. And this is what we want to share with the Yoga Reading community.

We want to provide the BEST quality teaching and information so that everyone can find the tools and techniques they need to support their busy lives and feel comfortable and strong in their bodies.

We have built a team of teachers to work with us to make sure that there’s a practice on our schedule for everyone. Between us we are skilled in yoga, meditation, injury prevention and reduction, rehabilitation, strength training, anxiety management, standing on your head and being able to sit very still!
