SCHEDULE:
2 – 2.15pm: welcome + tea
2.15pm: Mat Pilates class with Megan
Pilates is renowned for it’s benefits in not only movement restoration but connecting body and mind. We will re-visit the priniciples of centring, control and breath synchronisation before building up to a strong sequence of exercises. We will challenge the body with resistance and endurance and strengthen from the foundations up.
3pm: Hormone workshop with Gaby
Women’s health is in desperate need of a change that can only start with getting to know our bodies better. Join Gaby for a masterclass on how to harness the power of our unique biochemistry and hormones for optimal physical and mental performance, energy and vitality using nutrition and lifestyle practices.
4pm: Yoga + breathwork with Emma
This workshop will focus on re-balancing the systems of the body through gentle movement and breath practice. Day to day, we can find ourselves in a state of survival, and often don’t give our bodies and minds the chance to recover. Through yoga and our breath, we can begin to train both to know how to recover from stress more easily and build resilience so that we can manage our day to day better, and feel more confident and happy knowing we are strong from the inside out.
4.45pm: Closing circle
& goodie bag & Refreshments throughout your afternoon
