Friday Flourish evening retreat: Lunar Cycles
What are these?
These are stand alone classes/events based around a certain theme.
I appreciate you might not want a regular class on a Friday evening so these are roughly once a month and are designed to give you time to flourish - physically, emotionally, spiritually.
Maybe you can’t commit to a weekly class but would like to come to a one-off; maybe you want to come with your friend; your mum; your sister; your daughter.
Maybe the last time you saw me was at a pregnancy or postnatal class but you would like to occasionally dip into an evening just for you.
Maybe you are intrigued about my style of teaching and this is a good way to see if my weekly classes will be a good fit.
Maybe you already come to my women’s classes and want more.
These are just for women (my specialism).
Please don't worry about your level of experience; your age; fitness; flexibility; or any other self-imposed doubts which might be creeping in. Everyone is welcome with open arms, and if you are a seasoned yogi, there are lots for you too.
Just 90 mins of time for yourself 20.30-22.00 at our usual venue, Halton Village Hall.

The September Friday Flourish
The moon controls the tides on earth and we are made of around 75% water; it is to be expected that we are going to feel changes in our body, thoughts and emotions around changes in the lunar cycle
In our 90 mins together, we will explore the lunar cycles during the month, considering how, for hundreds of years in tradition and folklore, each moon phase is seen as the time for performing certain activities. We will dive deeper into the current new moon, as I guide you into beautiful new moon extended opening relaxation. We will then explore steps to new moon wishing either through meditation or by journaling (in the kit provided) your top five wishes and/or intentions for the coming month. Our mantra for the evening will be “I am attuned to the lunar cycle”.
Our physical practice mainly opens the hips, works the knees, lower back, and glutes. Our time will predominantly be split between standing, sitting, kneeling and on our backs, with an overall focus on stretching and forward bends. Finally we will finish with a Luna cycle relaxation.
Everyone goes home with a goodie bag which includes a notebook, pen, cotton bag and Yasmin Boland’s beautiful book ‘Moonology: working with the magic of lunar cycles’.
The cost of the evening is £22 each and is limited to 10 attendees.
How do I book a space?
Please complete the booking form; full payment will be taken at the same time.
What do I need to bring?
I will provide all yoga equipment (mats, blankets, pillows, straps and eye masks) to use at your discretion. It is your choice if you would like to bring your own mat in addition to place on top.
I would advise that you bring a bottle of water and wear some loose comfortable clothes for your yoga practice, including layers so you can easily adjust depending on whether you are lying still in relaxation or being more physical.
