It’s time to celebrate! A traditional Solstice morning practice and a garden gathering to follow. You are welcome to join just the yoga, the party, or hopefully both as the longest, sunniest day of the year meets our Two Year Birthday in one magical high vibes day!

​

In keeping with yoga tradition I have made this day all about donations, this time to Safe in Sussex as I recently bumped into a patron of theirs who greatly inspired me, the owner of Sakura in Steyning.  I have added information and a link below.

​

So, for our day!

​

As always the vinyasa morning yoga can be taken at your own pace and ability, with options to keep your toes on the earth or send them to the sky, your practice is your own.  We aim to enjoy and have fun.

​

Your morning yoga practice will begin at 9 and finish at 11, don’t panic! Read on ... 

​

​We will open the morning with a dedication to Father Sun and then,

9.10 - 9.30       Slow and stretchy Yin yoga

9.30 - 10.40     Uplifting Vinyasa Flow yoga

10.40 - 11         Soothing Yin yoga with a Tibetan bowls sound bath

​

After the morning’s practice I invite you to share the garden space and my home to share some music, food and refreshments, celebrating our two year birthday. 

​

As we party, I will put out some items - paints, shells, stones, fairy lights and plants for the communal garden altar that Blaise and I have been working on, for us to craft and decorate together with paints and anything else we like - the theme is devotional joy!  

​

We have spent the last few weeks scouring Facebook marketplace, charity shops and hauling items back home.  The idea behind this came from a Hare Krishna temple I used to visit, Bhaktivedanta Manor, dedicated to the Hare Krishnas by George Harrison of the Beatles; the temple and gardens were open to all for meditating, walking and healing. It was a place of great devotion and for those seeking sanctuary.  I would love to be able to offer something with this intention, somewhere of our own that we make together that feels special to us.

​

Here are some inspirations:

​

The space is for all of us so please do feel free to add your touches to the altar.  Everything just needs to be of natural materials and non harmful to the environment and garden wildlife.
