What a nice idea!

Join us this Saturday at Liznojan, between 10 and 2, for a free Bibliotherapy session with Naomi.

'Bibliotherapy is the use of books and reading for the enhancement of someone's wellbeing, to explore the individual relationship to reading as a therapeutic process. In this time I will use book knowledge and listening skills to support you.' Naomi recently completed a Bibliotherapy course with Exeter College and Exeter City of Lit.

The perfect time to head out for some shopping and indulge in self-care. Each session should last roughly 10 minutes, no need to book in advance.

New book release!

Bühnemann, Gudrun. 2025. Scholar, Serpent, Yogin, and Devotee: The Many Faces of Patañjali in Indian Traditions.

This study illuminates the many faces of Patañjali in Indian traditions. Often regarded as an incarnation of the cosmic serpent Adiśeșa or Anantanāga, Patañjali is celebrated, in both story and art, as a grammarian, scholar and practitioner of yoga, physician-alchemist, medical authority, teacher, ascetic, and devotee ofthe Dancing Śiva (Națarāja). The first three chapters examine the literary works attributed to Patañjali, explore legendary accounts and beliefs associated with this multifaceted figure, and survey temples and shrines dedicated to the sage. The following five chapters trace the development of Patañjali’s iconography from its earliest forms in Tamilnadu, South India, to contemporary examples.

Gudrun Bühnemann, Ph.D., University of Vienna, is a professor in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. She has published extensively on South Asian iconography and ritual.

I’ve been working from this lovely building in the heart of Tiverton for nearly nine years now. Rolfing is a way to feel free and expressive, powerful and joyful in your body, whatever your age or state of health.
