The Soul Pilates Experience: A Beginner's Guide to Soul PilatesSaturday 11th January 2pm - 4:30pm
In this 2.5-hour workshop we will take you on a deep-dive of Pilates, its principles and get you moving on each piece of Pilates’ equipment. This is a great way to find out more about Pilates, your body and the Soul Pilates experiences that we’ve become known for.
We will begin in our Mat studio where we will guide you through the principles of moving well alongside work to release and unwind any tight muscles or tissue. Expect to feel longer and relaxed! We will then take a well deserved tea-break where you will have a chance to chat to our instructors and the other workshop participants. We will then head into our Equipment studio where you will move across each piece of apparatus, building on the principles you’ve learned and seeing what a difference the equipment can make to your movement. At the end of the workshop you will know far more about Pilates and its benefits but more importantly, about how Pilates can help your body. You will also have built a solid foundation ready to attend our Equipment classes at Fundamentals level. This 2.5-hour workshop costs £30 and is strictly limited to 7 attendees. |
Your Fabulous FeetSaturday 23rd November 2pm - 3:30pm 
As walkers, runners and cyclists, we spend a lot of time on our feet but don't often give them a second thought. However the foundation of the body is the feet and one of our most valuable assets!
In this workshop we will put the fun in fun-ctionality of the foot and look at ways to immediately improve each step that you take. Exploring exercises that will strengthen and increase the flexibility of your foot and ankle joint which you can take home with you - no need for any fancy equipment (though you'll probably be wanting one of our famous, foot-fabulous spiky balls by the end of it). You'll leave feeling lighter on your feet as well as balanced and aligned from the ground up. This 1.5-hour workshop costs £20 and is with Andrea. |
Sound HealingSunday 8th December 3pm - 4:30pm
There is no denying the therapeutic value of music and sound. Whether you are playing or listening to music specifically for therapy or not, music enables its listener to let go, to reminisce, to be present. Music allows us to find healing and removal of emotional pain and anguish.
In this workshop Tilly will introduce you to, and give you a chance to play, a range of instruments including Tibetan Singing Bowls and a Steel Tongue Drum. And, after learning about how the instruments affect the body, Tilly will lead a Sound Bath. Expect to feel recharged emotionally, spiritually and physically after bathing in the sounds and vibrations of the music whilst in a deeply relaxed state through the power of Yoga Nidra. And, as it's December, we'll even throw in a mince pie and a glass of fizz at the end of the session! This 1.5 hour workshop costs £20 and is with Tilly in The Loft Studio. |
Release & RestoreFriday 13th December 7pm - 8:30pm
The run up to Christmas can be extremely fun but, with the days getting darker and our schedules seemingly ever-more hectic, we can spend too much time in our sympathetic nervous system (aka our 'fight and flight'), leaving us feeling frazzled and burned out before the partying has even begun.
Adding some restorative "me-time" into our schedules is really important. We need to give ourselves some well-deserved TLC to be able to truly enjoy the parties, the holidays, and meet the New Year feeling fresh and full of life! Deeply restorative and healing, this Release & Restore workshop blends Yoga with myofascial release techniques into one gorgeous restorative experience. We will explore the body from head to toe using mobility balls and other props to reduce pain, increase mobility and develop awareness, ending in a delicious meditation so your mind can be as relaxed as your body. Expect to learn plenty of great self-care tools, whilst also giving you an evening to unwind and reset. And, as it's December, we'll even throw in a mince pie and a glass of fizz at the end of the session! This 1.5 hour workshop costs £20 and is with Claire in The Loft Studio. |
