Octavia & Om

🌿 Monday 7th September 🌿

Morning folks 🤍
Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

I’m sorry I wasn’t at the classes yesterday — I wasn’t feeling great. I had a fever on Saturday night, very little sleep and sickness, so I’m not quite sure whether I was coming down with something or had a reaction to the Nurofen I’d taken for my knee.

Luckily, I have the loveliest people around me and was able to ask Sheena & Maz to step in yesterday morning, while Clare & Sonja took care of you in the Cocoon. 🌿

Thank you for understanding — and I’ll be back in the studio today. 💛

🍂🌙 SEPTEMBER WITH RACHEL 🌙🍂

September arrives like a gentle turning of the wheel…

The evenings begin to soften, the air changes, and nature quietly reminds us that we don’t have to hold onto everything.

Some things are ready to be released.
Some things are ready to be strengthened.
And some things simply need space to breathe. ✨

This week, two very different journeys with Rachel…

🌙 WEDNESDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER
SOOTHING YOGA RITUALS
6.30–7.30pm
£9
Only 3 spaces left

A soft, grounding and nurturing practice.

Gentle movement, breath, mindful stretching, longer holds and stillness — creating a little sanctuary in the middle of your week.

A chance to slow down, turn inward and release what your body and mind no longer need to carry.

Think candlelight, calm, ritual, breath and deep exhale. 🌿✨

⚔️🔥 THURSDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER
VIKING WARRIORS
6.30–7.30pm
£9

Then we awaken the warrior…

A strong, earthy and fiery practice inspired by the energy of the Viking warrior — strength, courage, grounding and resilience.

Expect powerful movement, warrior poses, challenge and a playlist to get you moving.

Come ready to find your fire, feel your strength and leave feeling like you could take on anything. ⚔️🔥

🌙 Wednesday — soften.
🔥 Thursday — ignite.

Two completely different energies, both perfect for stepping into September.

TUESDAY 31ST AUGUST

🧘‍♀️ YOGA FOR LAZY MUSCLES
WITH CALLY

Join Cally for a strong, steady practice, designed to wake up those lazy muscles, build strength and leave you feeling grounded, energised and beautifully stretched. ✨

All abilities welcome.

And then… everything comes back to life. 🌿☀️

On my walk this morning, I really noticed something.

Before the storms came, the ground felt like it was literally being starved of water. Everything had become so dry, tired and barren.

And now… look at it.

Everything has been completely transformed.

The green is brighter.
The water is flowing and clear again.
The lake no longer feels stagnant.
The earth looks nourished.
And now, after all that rain… the sun is back. ☀️

It got me thinking about everything we’ve been talking about around the eclipse and that feeling of an “eclipse hangover.”

Sometimes transformation doesn’t feel particularly magical while we’re in the middle of it.

There can be a period of clearing, releasing, feeling unsettled, tired or like things have gone a little barren.

But perhaps that’s exactly what’s happening underneath.

The old is being washed away.

Things that have become stagnant are moving again.

Space is being created for something new.

And nature gave me the most beautiful reminder of that this morning…

You can look at the earth and think, it’s gone, it’s dried up, it’s finished.

Then the storms come.

The rain falls.

And suddenly…

BOOM. 🌱

It comes back.

Brighter.
Greener.
Alive again.

Maybe we’re not so different.

Sometimes we just need to let the rain come, allow the old to be washed away, and trust that underneath it all, something is already preparing to grow.

Release. Renew. Resurrect. 🌿✨

And then… let the sunshine in.

Happy Bank Holiday 🙏

I’m currently writing this post sitting in the car, waiting for the rain to stop! ☔️😂

And I’m not complaining…

Because honestly, the rain and thunder this evening felt AMAZING. ⛈️

The sound of the rain coming down on the roof of the mill, at exactly the same time as we were taking our sound journey, was something else.

I know some of you were probably wondering…
“Is that part of the sound journey?”
“Is that the weather?”
“Or is it on the playlist?” 😂

It was ACE.

And then there were a few new arrivals making their appearance tonight…

✨ The Windsinger
✨ Our new giant-root Himalayan bowl

And this new bowl has another little secret…

It’s also a bowl you can STAND in! 😳🔔

Watch this space…

We’re already exploring some beautiful new ways of working with it, including Nell’s new treatment combining the giant bowl, Cocoon and her treatment work all together.

More details coming in a couple of weeks… 💫

Right… the rain has finally stopped, so I’m off to run inside! 😂

See you tomorrow night at 6.30pm for Hatha 🧘‍♀️

Don’t forget — there is NO class tomorrow morning. ❤️

✨ Happy Birthday Clare Ball Holistics ✨

May your day be as special and magical as you are, lovely Clare. 🤍

We had the most beautiful evening together last night, working alongside each other for our Cocoon • Cacao • Copper Pyramid session beneath the energy of the Lunar Eclipse. 🌙✨

It was such a mystical journey… from creating our altar and sharing ceremonial cacao, to Cocoon, sound, the copper pyramid, moxibustion, crystals and guided meditation.

So many beautiful layers woven together, each one inviting us to slow down, soften, connect and simply be. 🕯️🌿🔮

I feel very lucky to share these experiences, spaces and magical moments with you, Clare.

Here’s to another year around the sun — and to all the beautiful things still to unfold. 🌙✨

Happy Birthday, beautiful soul. 🤍

Well… I can definitely feel my legs this morning! 😂

A huge congratulations to Amelia from Flight to Flow Yoga 🌿✨

Considering that was your first class with us, you were absolutely awesome, my dear! Small and mighty! 💪🏼💫

And we’ll be seeing more of Amelia, as she’ll be joining us to teach whenever she’s home — so we’ll see her again in September. ❤️

A big thank you to Cally for letting Amelia step in and teach this week, especially as it was your week for Vikings. We’ve already told Amelia she can teach Vikings whenever she’s home… I’m sure you won’t mind! 😉

And now… the storm has been and gone, leaving us with that beautiful charged atmosphere before today’s Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. 🌕🌊

Tonight we have our very special:

COCOON • CACAO • COPPER
6.30–8pm
✨ FULLY BOOKED ✨

There’s so much planned to make this session feel extra special.

And yes… there will be fully charged storm water. ⚡️💧

I gathered more water during last night’s storm, and tonight we’ll be working with it alongside the energy of the eclipse.

It feels like the perfect night to slow down, soften, release and cocoon ourselves for a while.

And if you missed tonight, we have more beautiful offerings across the weekend…

☀️🌙 SUNDAY 30TH — A SOLAR • LUNAR JOURNEY
