The first Yoga & Book Club is on Sunday 18th January!

You’ve still got time to read (or listen 🎧 to this months book - it is BRILLIANT!) I’m only half way through myself!

I’m listening to it on dog walks 🐶, for FREE (you get 15 hours of free audio books with Spotify premium)
It’s a great escape and the ‘deadline’ is making me keep up carving out time for myself 👍👍👍

And that’s the whole point of this yoga and book club, to help you carve out time for yourself. ❤️

Don’t worry if you don’t finish before we meet btw!

Do come along to a chilled out evening, where we’ll do a little gentle yoga, have a chat about the book, and then finish with a guided relaxation to end the evening.

Plus there will be tea and chocolate/treats.

These yoga & book club evenings are be relaxed and low pressure - part book club, part easing your body, part relaxation, part easy-going social event.

Details
~ First one is the evening of Sunday 18th January
~ Venue: York Pilates Studio, 53A Front Street , Acomb , York - it’s warm and cosy, and lots of free parking nearly too.
~ Our first book is ‘Wintering: The power of rest and retreat in difficult times‘ by Katherine May.

it’s a perfect seasonal read, it’s a memoir (which I always love), female writer (obvs), and I’ve heard great things about it. It’s’ a Sunday Times and a New York Times bestseller. I know some people read it every year, so even if you have already read it, you could re-read it.

And Caitline Moran said ‘My favourite book of the last five years’ - which is a pretty good endorsement in my world!

Hope you can make it. Any questions just let me know. And yes you can still come (of course) even if you don’t finish the whole book. This is a low pressure book club!

My aim is that leave the evening feeling the evening that you’ve had some time for yourself - both to read during the month, and to replenish yourself.

Our Story

Hello, lovely to have you here. I’m Susan and I created Yoga For Modern Life to bring down-to-earth yoga and self-care for the modern world to York and beyond. I’m a huge advocate of self-care and finding effective ways to really reconnect with yourself - in the modern world we really need this. So to help you with this I teach all levels yoga classes, pregnancy yoga, fertility yoga, mum & baby yoga, and glorious Slow Sunday workshops and day retreats that are friendly and relaxed, with the ability to be tailored to a wide range of abilities and yoga experience. They will stretch your body, build strength and improve flexibility, and (more importantly I’d say) they will allow you the space to reconnect with your mind and body, and become free from the stress and tensions of modern life. Beginners are warmly welcomed to all my classes. I do a lot of work with women, and I specialize in Fertility, Pregnancy and Mum & Baby yoga as well as teaching Baby Massage, Hypnobirthing & Birth Preparation (group, refresher and one to one classes) and trained Doula. As well as undertaking voluntary roles as a Positive Birth Movement Facilitator and a Breastfeeding Peer Supporter. With Yoga for Modern Life I aim to ensure that your journey towards and during motherhood is richly enhanced by nourishing your body, your mind, and your baby.

I strong believe and am inspired by by the power of community and uplifting feeling and energy within a group of women - it’s a true force to be reckoned with! My aim is to create safe and nurturing spaces and a group dynamic where each woman can able to feel empowered by the group to become part of something much greater than themselves. Also offering bespoke one-to-one private lessons that are specifically tailored to meet your individual needs, whatever they may be. In a busy world, take some time to reconnect with yourself. For more information please visit get in touch. My website is www.yogaformodernlife.com, my email yogaformodernlife@outlook.com or call to chat on 07954 238 424 Fully qualified and insured (of course).

I look forward to meeting you soon
