Summer Kids Yoga Camp Friday July 19th .
Suitable for children between the ages of 4 and 12 with 2 separate groups a junior and senior group.
🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️

Why Yoga class/ camp for Kids????????????

🧘‍♀️Yoga is a fun way for children to develop a variety of important skills in a nurturing, non competitive environment.
🧘‍♀️From a young age children begin to experience pressure to preform academically and socially.
🧘‍♀️When you add to this the pressure of competitive sports it’s very easy for children to become overly self critical, and lose confidence in themselves.
🧘‍♀️Yoga allows children to relax and have fun while developing strength, coordination, flexibility and balance, as well as increasing body awareness, concentration and self esteem.
🧘‍♀️Quite time is a huge part of yoga. Moving,laughing, dancing and going crazy is super important but slowing down, going inwards, breathing, listening to our hearts and taking the time to just be is all just as important.
Quite time does not always involve being totally still, sometimes listening to a story, colouring can be nice ways to slow down.

🧘‍♀️Breathing
Breath is life. We can live without food, water, sunlight, sleep for a few days …. But we cannot live without the breath for more than a few minutes.
By breathing more deeply we can help alleviate many of our problems including fatigue, depression and anxiety.

I’m really looking forward to welcoming all the children to my Summer Yoga Camp on Friday July 19th it’s always a very special fun filled day.

Still some availability if interested send me a message.

I will be sending out messages to everyone booked in over the next few days.
If your not booked in send me a message ASAP don’t miss out.

Namaste 🙏 Martina

Beautiful class this morning 🙏🙏

We all enjoyed another beautiful Sound Bath Concert 🎵 here in my Yoga Loft last night.

It was just another magical night shared with such beautiful 🤩 people.

Huge thank you to Fiona Guiheen you are so fantastic 👏👏👏👏 so grateful to you 😘😘.

A soundbath basically makes you feel deeply relaxed and refreshed. As the name suggests, it’s called ‘a soundbath’ because it feels like you’re being ‘bathed and washed over’ with sound waves. These waves are produced by various sources including voice, gongs, singing bowls, crystal bowls, monochord, percussion, rattles, chimes etc, therapy harp, didgeridoo and lots lots more!

I feel full of energy this morning and literally floating around 😂🎶🎶 just amazing 🤩

Our next Sound Bath is planned for late June and will be outdoors like last year. So all we need is a bit of sunshine 🌞 😎

I will post details on my group page very soon.

Any questions just send me a message.

Have an amazing day 🎵🧘‍♀️🙏

Namaste 🙏 Martina

The time is just flying by…. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

We are currently working our way through the last block of classes.
We are on week 2 for some classes and week 3 for others.
Some classes have changed and are now pay as you go and some not every week.

It’s a busy time of year, my boys are getting very busy with matches and it’s nice to be able to support them when I can 🥰🥰 making precious memories 🙏🙏

All classes after this block will be pay as you go and will change from week to week.

We will practice outdoors as much as we can and a few trips to the beach as always. 🏝️ ☀️ will pop details on the group soon.

For full updates on all classes/ events/ camps stay tuned to my private group if you need to be added just send me a message.

✨What is a Soundbath?

A soundbath basically makes you feel deeply relaxed and refreshed. As the name suggests, it’s called ‘a soundbath’ because it feels like you’re being ‘bathed and washed over’ with sound waves. These waves are produced by various sources including voice, gongs, singing bowls, crystal bowls, monochord, percussion, rattles, chimes etc, therapy harp, rav vast, didgeridoo and lots lots more!
It’s a perfect time for you to lay back, rest, reset and most of all to receive. You are in essence, giving your body, mind and energy and opportunity to shift to a higher frequency and let go of lower vibrational thoughts, emotions and other issues. .

✨What are the Health
Benefit’s ?
Studies have found that Sound baths change your brainwaves. It can send you into very deep meditative states. When you are able to access these states, your body is able to heal itself. It activates your own healing system. It activates ‘the relaxation response’ so when this is activated, your body naturally relaxes so your blood pressure can lower, your nervous system resets itself and your body goes into healing mode. This is so good for lowering stress and anxiety.
There’s lots of other studies to say that:
• It improves sleep
• People have more energy
• Releases muscle tension
• Improves concentration and memory.
