Hooked is Yogi Sanctuary’s monthly crochet club — a calm, friendly space to learn, create and connect. Inspired by the much-loved Knit & Natter gatherings found in villages across the country, Hooked is less about productivity and more about presence. It’s a place to slow your hands, quiet the mind, and enjoy gentle conversation while learning a new skill. You don’t need to know how to crochet — Laura will be there each meet up to teach you from the very beginning and help you build confidence at your own pace. Whether you’re completely new, returning after a break, or simply enjoy making things with your hands and you want to sit with like minded people, you’ll be warmly welcomed. The group is free to attend just bring what you are working on or a ball of wool and a hook (get in touch if you would like advice on what to buy). Hot drinks and biscuits are included — because this is as much about community as it is about crochet. Come to learn, to chat, or simply to sit quietly and stitch. There’s no pressure, no expectations — just time, company, and something gentle to focus on. I have 14 chairs and tables plus cushions and low tables. I have increased the maximum number able to attend therefore to free up the waiting list and let more people come along in anticipation of some of you happy to sit on a cushion. x

Chair Yoga is a gentle, inclusive practice where all poses are performed seated on, or supported by, a chair. This accessible class is designed to help you find ease where there is stiffness, gently stretch areas that feel tight, and build functional strength to support balance, posture and everyday mobility. Movements are slow, mindful and adaptable, allowing you to work safely and comfortably within your own range. Alongside gentle chair-supported postures, we include simple pranayama (yogic breathing), moments of relaxation and a short meditation to calm the nervous system and support overall wellbeing. Chair Yoga is ideal if prolonged standing feels challenging, getting up and down from the floor isn’t possible, or if you’re looking for a softer, supportive way to enjoy the physical and mental benefits of yoga. No experience is needed — just a willingness to move, breathe and reconnect with your body in a kind and encouraging space.

Embark on a deeply restorative journey that is the epitomy of self love and care. Embrace the gentle release of a quiet contemplative yin yoga practice that will invite you to leave behind the noise and drama of your week and step onto your mat with an intention to slow down, stretch it out and drop fully into the present moment before moving onto the calming effect of floating in our silk hammocks while being supported by the soothing vibrations of therapeutic sound. After a little grounding meditation, you will be guided through a series of long held passive yin postures that target the connective tissue of your body, to increase circulation improving your flexibility and range of motion and stimulating the flow of chi, the subtle energy in the body. Then moving into the second part of the event - floating in the silk aerial hammocks accompanied by a resonant soundscape of healing frequencies from crystal singing bowls, gongs and other instruments to bring about a deep connection with yourself and find inner peace, balance and harmony. You will be invited to enjoy a warm drink before you wind your way home. This monthly event will be your new favourite Friday evening self care ritual.

This circular flow works towards a firm intention and is based on the four elements that bring connection between you and each of the Elements in the Universe – Earth, Water, Fire and Air. Each of these elements have their corresponding Chakra energy centers and group of muscles. The Mayan calendar will set the intention for the class and then inspired by the spiral patterns of nature, you will explore circular movements around all four corners of your mat. Flowing in this 360 degree circle, slightly slower than a fiery vinyasa class, this class prioritises breath to movement connection and whilst it is full body, will work on a particular target area (element) in the body. Starting and ending with a short yin session to ‘prepare’ and ‘close’ the areas of the body, this is a fun, dynamic and powerful class that has creativity combined with repetition to build strength, flexibility and a connection to the elements of nature. Air will work on the Anahata / Heart Chakra with quads, shoulders and heart opening backbends to help us find space in our hearts, our social identify and self love. Fire will work on glutes and spinal twists to energetically activate the Manipura / Solar Plexus Chakra and our sense of self and power Water targets the groin and hips working with pour Svadhishthana / Sacral Chakra and our source of movement, emotions and creativity Earth with its grounding poses and focus on hamstrings and forward folds will activate our Muladhara / Root Chakra and our sense of security and stability.

A down tempo, well-rounded flow of classic yoga poses linked with the breath but at a slow and steady pace giving time for you to explore each posture and find your alignment. Through a slow mindful flow, you will be encouraged to find a heightened awareness of how your body connects and is alignment with your breath. Poses designed to gently build strength and tone your whole body will be supported by options and modifications to enable you to tailor the class to your own bodies needs Slow does not necessarily mean easy - slow requires a strength and stamina in both mind and body as you discover new depths within and savor every moment of your practice. You’ll finish with some longer satisfying stretches that will target your deep connective tissue, help release tension, and improve flexibility. A class perfect for those wanting to gently challenge their body and mind through a mindful and body conscious practice without feeling depleted and to leave feeling a wonderful sense of calm and peace.

As part of our Raise Your Vibration series we are bringing our Inner Sanctuary event back between Christmas and New Year. This is your soft landing towards the end of the year - a two-hour ritual of rest where nothing is asked of you but to receive. As the sun dips low and the world quiets, you’ll be guided through the dreamy landscape of yoga nidra, cradled by healing soundscapes of alchemy crystal bowls, gongs and chimes that echo gently through your being. This is a space to exhale, to unravel, to remember the quiet wholeness within. No movement or effort required, no striving—just arrive, settle and recieve - a return to yourself, wrapped in stillness and sound, as Sunday gives way to silence. Perfect for anyone seeking calm, clarity, or a soul-level reset before the new year begins.
