Carve out time for yourself with a mood lifting class that will help you decompress, uplift your energy, nourish your body and dissolve the physical, mental and emotional manifestations of stress.  Release tension from the start with a little cleansing breathwork and a little grounding guided meditation. Then move through some slow stretches to warm up your muscles and loosen your joints before you refresh your body and soul with a gentle flow at an easy pace, giving time for lots of guidance and support, exploration of modifications and the time to settle into each posture. Closing the practice with some deeper more expansive stretches designed to create space in your body and improve flexibility helping you to let go of old energy and to feel more centered. This class will still build a little strength and improve flexibility but this nourishing sequence of yoga postures is perfect for those wanting a gentler flow or those who maybe haven't practiced yoga in a while.

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.

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
