Somatics - Move with Ease
3 Workshops
with Kath Revell
STUDIO
Saturdays Oct 5th, Nov 2nd, Dec 7th
11am-12noon
Somatics – Move with Ease.
Somatics is natural movement. Natural movement is movement that is co-ordinated through the centre of the body. Your body is a system, a living organism that innately knows how to self-regulate and self-heal. All the movements are gentle, slow, and pleasurable and are mainly done lying on a mat on the floor. Somatics is a very simple and yet very effective way to address, or prevent, long term pain.
Each of these three Somatics sessions stands alone, but different movements are covered in each one. If you come to all three you will have a full “Somatics toolkit”.
Session 1: Introduction to Somatics
Session 2: Red and Green Light Reflexes
Session 3: Trauma Reflex
Kath Revell studied Somatics and Clinical Somatic Education with Martha Peterson from Essential Somatics. She also teaches Tai chi and Qigong. Please visit www.ninjagranny.org/somatics for further information.

Sound Meditation
with Carly Seller
STUDIO
1st, 3rd & 4th Wednesdays each month
8.00 - 9.00pm
Experience deep rest whilst immersed in vibrations and frequencies of singing bowls, sun gong, chimes, and therapeutic percussion. A sound meditation is a deep listening practice where the sounds of the instruments guide you into a meditative state that provides space for you to listen to what's happening within your body, mind, and emotions; your inner landscape. In this restful, meditative state, your body is encouraged to soften, helping to regulate your nervous system and open up your body's natural restorative abilities, and may help you to tune into your emotions, imagination, and intuition.
What to bring:
Mats, blankets and bolsters are available at the studio, and you are welcome to bring any extra cushions, pillows and blankets to help you be as cosy and comfortable as possible. We recommend bringing a bottle of water with you.
Carly Seller is a somatic and sound healer, and artist. She weaves together sound and energy healing, movement, and creative practice into playful and restful experiences for inner reflection and self-expression. Her approach is embodied and spiritual, creating space for listening to the languages of the body and experiencing the elements through the body, as ways to access your inner wisdom.

YIN YOGA & YOGA NIDRA
Double Workshop Delight
STUDIO & LIVE ONLINE
Sunday Sept 15th
4.30 - 6:30pm
A doubly-delightful duo of Wellness Workshops, this combination of two sessions will take participants on a blissful journey through some deeply releasing Yin yoga poses and on to a relaxing and rejuvenating Yoga Nidra ("sleep of the yogis"). Drawing on the current seasonal energies we will explore both physical and mental expansion and release.
The yin session involves longer held physical poses with plenty of use of props and personally tailored options, with restorative poses and gentle movement between the longer held poses. This provides an overall experience of calm, cool yin energy (rather than heat-generating, faster moving yang energy), allowing the fascia (connective tissues wrapping our organs and muscles) to release.
The nidra session is not a physical practice; participants will find a comfortable place to rest - again props are always encouraged to help you find stillness - then we allow the body to completely rest while the mind follows the nidra technique into an effortless state of complete "non-doing".
The two practices together encourage a deep exploration of not only the body, with deep release found in the stretches, but also a deep exploration of where the mind goes, when left to its own devices or when led through the layers of consciousness to a state of bliss...... No previous yoga or yoga nidra experience needed. All are welcome.

6 - 9pm
Join Jules & Carly to celebrate the Autumn Equinox.
Connect with Nature
Get Grounded
Let Go
6-7:15pm Yoga Flow with Jules
The Autumnal Equinox marks the symmetry between light and darkness. As Mother Nature establishes an equal balance of both day and night, it is important we take some time to go inward. As the warmth of the sun falls away from the Northern Hemisphere, the plants pause their growth and leaves start to fall. To prepare for the cold and cosy months ahead we fill focus on yoga poses, sequences, practices that connect us to nature, help us to feel grounded, balanced, so we are able to freely let go of the things we no longer need. Just like the trees shedding their leaves... This yoga flow is suitable for all levels, including beginners.
7:15-8pm Health Autumnal Snack! & Herbal Drink Option for a short walk (4 minutes from studio) to the stunning Southern Gardens at Mount Wise (weather dependent) If the skies are clear we may be able to see the sunset.. the moonrise (7:35pm) Full Harvest Moon is on 17th September...
8-9pm Autumn Equinox Sound Meditation
Join Carly for a special Sound Meditation to return to balance at this moment of the Autumn Equinox. We'll begin with a short guided meditation to connect to nature, using observations of the natural world to reflect on our inner landscape and set intentions, leading into a deep, restful immersion in vibrations and frequencies of singing bowls, sun gong, chimes, and therapeutic percussion. A sound meditation is a deep listening practice where the sounds of the instruments guide you into a meditative state that provides space for you to listen to what's happening within your body, mind, and emotions; your inner landscape. In this restful, meditative state, your body is encouraged to soften, helping to regulate your nervous system and open up your body's natural restorative abilities, and may help you to tune into your emotions, imagination, and intuition.

Mindful Movement
for Chronic Pain
with Mary-Ella
STUDIO
6th & 20th September
4th & 18th October
Fridays 9:30-11am
Chronic Pain is pain that lasts longer than 3 months. This can be exhausting, frustrating, debilitating and depressing. Mary-Ella’s own experience of chronic back problems, lasting several years, has led to the development of this class.
After attending a Pain Management Course in Plymouth, she formed a strong bond with the people on her course. She designed movement sessions exclusively for them, hosted at Space to Move, which began to help and support them with their day-to-day suffering.
Mary-Ella and the group would now like these sessions to be available for others to benefit. You can benefit from the following aspects -
-
Quiet meditation helps to bring the mind to stillness, learning to accept any sensations that exist. Turning your attention inwards, you can begin to be more present in the moment, lessening thoughts of the past or projections into the future. Connection with the breath helps to channel/broaden your focus, lower the heart rate, and subsequently calm your nervous system.
-
Gentle movement, linked with the breath, allows a stronger mind and body connection to develop. It helps to relieve muscle tension and joint pain, giving you more mobility, increased strength, and improved balance. You are encouraged to take whatever position suits you; seated, standing, or lying. Experimenting by switching between positions, to discover which are comfortable for you on that day, is part of a process designed to help you to develop your own practice.
-
The class concludes with relaxation in which restorative yoga poses are personalised for you for maximum comfort and impact. A guided visualisation allows the body to rest on a deep level, leaving you feeling nourished.
Sliding affordability scale of £13.50-£15 per session (90 minutes)
Begin to be part of a community, that understands your issues, and make connections that can help and support you in the short and long term.
