This 90-minute class really is the ultimate yoga class. A little pranayama will bring your minds and bodies into the space of yoga, calming your minds, slowing your heart rate and soothing your nervous system. Then you will move into the Yang - moving with breath to create a little detoxifying heat in your bodies, focusing on the muscles to build strength, and dynamic stretches for flexibility creating support for your joints and improving your mobility whilst increasing your cardio vascular endurance and bone density. Moving onto the Yin - the perfect complement to the first part of class. You will slow things down, becoming more meditative with longer held floor-based yoga poses. Working on both your muscles and connective tissue you will work to increase your flexibility, whilst also improving our mental wellbeing and joint health. And finally, the last part of your class needs you to just pop on some fluffy socks, lie down and relax with a linseed and lavender eye pillow over your eyes. Combining Yoga Nidra with the healing vibrational frequencies of Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs, Chimes and other instruments, the sound waves will wash over you working their magic.

Learn the art of softening into stillness. This 75-minute practice invites you to gently unravel the week through slow, spacious movement and mindful breath. We begin close to the ground, easing open the body with soothing heart openers, hip releases, twists and folds. From there, we rise into simple standing poses that offer deeper stretches, gentle strength and a sense of steady grounding before returning to the mat. Throughout the class, supportive props and unhurried transitions help you melt away tension and move with comfort and ease. We close with an extended savasana—an invitation to settle, exhale and let the nervous system completely reset. A calming, nurturing way to end your weekend and make space for peace before the week ahead. Leave feeling calmer, clearer, and ready to rest. All levels welcome.

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

Relax, let go and surrender.

Creativity has a beautiful way of quietening the mind. When we stop trying to make things perfect and simply allow ourselves to create, something shifts. Attention softens. Thoughts become quieter. We become more present. Join Ellie of Painted Palms for a peaceful afternoon in a creative and mindful art workshop as part of Made - our monthly craft and art club designed to bring people together through creativity, community and the simple wellbeing found in making something with your own hands. In this special workshop we will explore the expressive beauty of Indian inks, using flowing colour, brushes and stencils to create your own unique piece of artwork. Indian inks invite both structure and freedom. Delicate details can sit alongside unexpected movement and flowing marks, allowing creativity to unfold naturally. Whether you are drawn to gentle layering, bold shapes or intuitive expression, this workshop creates space to experiment, play and discover your own creative style. Guidance, inspiration and ideas will be available throughout as Ellie guides you layer by layer while also allowing room for your own imagination to lead the way. No artistic experience is needed, only curiosity, openness and a willingness to create. Tea, homemade cake and refreshments will be available throughout the afternoon to keep you nourished as you create. Creating art can help calm the nervous system, improve focus and gently guide us into a state of flow - that feeling of becoming fully absorbed in the present moment. Combined with creativity, community and a peaceful afternoon shared together, these moments have a quiet way of lifting mood, reducing stress and gently raising our vibration. Spend a peaceful afternoon creating something beautiful and perhaps discover that creativity was waiting there all along. Saturday 10th October 2-5pm Made - creativity for wellbeing, one project at a time.
