At first glance, this may seem an unusual workshop for a movement studio to host…..

However, we know that mind and body are deeply interconnected — when one feels out of balance, the other often follows.

Here are THREE reasons to come to our Befriending Your Inner Critic Workshop, next Saturday 28th Feb!

Naomi brings a unique blend of expertise as both a skilled yoga teacher and a Clinical Psychologist and IFS (Internal Family Systems) practitioner.

Discover a compassionate, evidence based way to understand that internal voice that criticises and shames, and learn how to respond with greater balance and kindness.

This workshop is suitable for everyone, including those new to therapy or yoga, and is the perfect introduction to IFS, a form of psychotherapy that offers an opportunity for deep healing.

New Moon Reset: Virgo Edition

Join our next soothing soundbath as we gently realign under the potent, earthy energy of the Virgo new moon.

Deep relaxation and stress relief are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to soundbaths.

The impact this ancient practice has on both mind and body is extraordinary. From lowering blood pressure and anxiety to reducing pain and swelling - this wonderful workshop has to be experienced to be believed!

The soundbath will begin with a simple breath and body exercise to help you become present. You’re then invited to lie down for the duration of the session as the rich, harmonic frequencies of instruments including Moon Gongs and Crystal and Tibetan Singing Bowls, soften the mind and body, transporting you to a place of inner calm.

These popular sessions book up quickly, so reserve your space for the New Moon in Virgo Soundbath with Lorena, today.

Interested in our Befriending Your Inner Critic using Internal Family Systems (IFS) workshop?

Here’s clinical psychologist and yoga teacher, Dr Naomi Middleton, to explain more:

Using ‘Internal Family Systems’ (IFS), an evidence-based form of psychotherapy, this workshop will help you recognise, understand and befriend that inner voice that criticises and shames us when we make mistakes.

What is IFS?
Internal Family Systems is an approach that views the mind as made up of different “parts”. The inner critic is one of those parts. It has feelings and intentions which, once understood, can be befriended and healed with compassion and balance.

Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is suitable for anyone, including those new to yoga and therapy. It’s designed to be an introduction to IFS therapy, helping guide your own learning and healing moving forward.

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!
