Cristal Yoga

As the Spring Equinox arrives we find ourselves in a moment of perfect balance; where the days are of equal light and dark, bringing with it a gentle reminder that growth begins with intention.

This season invites fresh energy, new intentions and a sense of renewal. But just as nature blossoms now, it also teaches us something deeper; growth isn’t something to be taken for granted, it requires nurture and intent and that’s why I’m inviting you to look ahead.

As we sow seeds of intention this Spring (the true beginning of the year) imagine where you want to be by Autumn; a time for slowing down, reflecting and returning to yourself.

The Rest + Rebalance Yoga Retreat is designed to meet you in that moment.

🍂 A space to pause after months of movement
🍂 A chance to reconnect with your body, breath and self
🍂 Time to release what no longer serves you
🍂 Practices that ground, restore, and nourish

If Spring is about expansion, Autumn is about integration and this retreat is where it all comes together.

Join us for the Rest + Rebalance Retreat in Cumbria 25-27 September

There’s something empowering about committing early, giving yourself something to look forward to, a promise to your future self.

Let this equinox be more than a moment. Let it be the beginning of a journey that leads you exactly where you need to be. Your future self will thank you.

Have you ever wanted to know how to use essential oils?

These magical substances have a multitude of benefits and can be used to create toxin free perfumes, cleaning products, deodorants and much more.

During the Rest + Rebalance Retreat weekend you will get the opportunity to take part in an Essential Oil Workshop with Paula Marie Donaldson to create your own bespoke rollerball using essential oils of your choosing.

Step into a gentle, sensory workshop designed to help you slow down, tune in and create something truly personal.

In this hands-on session, you’ll be guided through the foundations of essential oil safety, before exploring the unique properties of each oil and how they support calm, balance and emotional wellbeing.

You’ll be invited to trust your senses as you blend a scent that feels right for you, finishing the workshop with your own bespoke rollerball to use during moments of stress, overwhelm or whenever you need a grounding pause.

A nourishing introduction to essential oils, intuitive blending, and everyday rituals of calm.

✨No prior experience needed

✨All materials provided

✨Take home your personalised rollerball

☔️ Everyone seems to be saying the same thing lately- they need something to look forward to.

🗓️ Staying present is important but that can be hard in these wet and grey months. Having something to look forward to can make all the difference.

🧘🏻‍♀️ It’s hard to prioritise your wellbeing, the guilt can feel overwhelming. But we all know the saying “you can’t pour from an empty cup”. Self care isn’t a luxury it’s a necessity and, in my experience, those around us benefit as much as we do from taking some time for us.

✔️ September is a while away yet but imagine having something in the diary to look forward to after the summer holidays.

✨ Booking in advance means you get the early bird rates and you can choose to pay month by month.

☮️ If you’re thinking about joining myself and at the centre 25-27 September get in touch to discuss your options.

💜We can’t wait to retreat with you.

Beyond excited to announce that I’ll be hosting a retreat in September.

Imbolc marks the return of light and even while winter is still present, the early signs of new life are all around us.

In yoga, Imbolc is the perfect time to gently awaken your practice with slow, mindful movement, breathwork, and intention setting.

This week in class we will focus on heart and chest openers, subtle backbends, and grounding poses that support patience and clarity.

Just as seeds begin to stir beneath frozen ground, Imbolc reminds us that growth often starts quietly. Yoga during this season invites reflection, renewal, and trust in what is slowly unfolding.

Breathe 🫁

Tis’ the season for respiratory bugs and kapha dominance so this week’s class is focussing on expanding lung capacity, improving breath control and creating space in the chest all whilst fanning the internal fires 🔥

Join us at the Fairways centre on Thursday at 7:15pm 🙏🏼 🧘🏻‍♀️ 🫁 🔥

Anyone else enjoying the opportunity to cosy-up this weekend?

Obviously the reality is this space will be covered in toys and there will be 2 very noisy little boys patrolling the house 😅 Nonetheless I will be seeking out moments like these in amongst the madness.

What does your weekend look like?

Prepare together 🤍

Pregnancy is a time of transition—physically, emotionally and relationally. This nurturing prenatal yoga workshop is designed to support both the pregnant person and their birthing partner as they prepare for birth and early parenting.

Through gentle, pregnancy-safe, yoga, breath-work, mindfulness and hands-on partner techniques, you’ll learn practical tools to find support and comfort and encourage relaxation and connection throughout pregnancy and labour. No prior yoga experience is needed.

This workshop emphasises choice, trust and adaptability—honouring that every body and every birth is unique.

Not everyone has time to attend a weekly pregnancy yoga class. These sessions will give you the tools to be able to practice yoga safely throughout your pregnancy and beyond.

You’ll learn:

· Safe, supportive yoga poses for pregnancy and tips for the postnatal period

· Breathing techniques for relaxation, labour and stress management

· Partner support skills, including massage and guidance cues during labour

· Mindfulness practices to reduce fear and build confidence

Who it’s for:

Parents-to-be at any stage of pregnancy and their chosen support person (partner, friend, or family member).

What to expect:

A calm, welcoming environment with plenty of options and rest. Come as you are—this is a space for learning, practicing and connecting and a great way to meet other parents-to-be.

The workshop is suitable from 14- weeks right up until the last week of pregnancy and is for all levels of ability- beginners are welcome. Mats and props can be provided.

The workshop is located at Newton & Bywell Community Hall (NE43 7UL) and runs from 10-12:30 on 22/03
