“The quiet transition from autumn to winter is not a bad time at all. It’s a time for protecting and securing things and for making sure you’ve got in as many supplies as you can. It’s nice to gather together everything you possess as close to you as possible, to store up your warmth and your thoughts and burrow yourself into a deep hole inside, a core of safety where you can defend what is important and precious and your very own. Then the cold and the storms and the darkness can do their worst. They can grope their way up the walls looking for a way in, but they won’t find one, everything is shut, and you sit inside, laughing in your warmth and your solitude, for you have had foresight.”  Tove Jansson, Moominvalley in November

 Dear All,

 Here are a few things you need to know about during the next few months.

 Restorative Yoga

Change is in the air: the leaves are turning, the temperature’s dropping- what better time to come along to a restorative yoga class!   The next classes are on:

 Thursday 29th October at All Saints Church Hall, North Baddesley 7-8.15pm

Wednesday 4th November at St George’s Hall, Harham, Salisbury 6.30-7.45pm

 Classes cost £12 and involve fully supported passive stretching, breath exercises, and guided deep relaxation.  Poses are usually supine or seated with lots of props (blankets, bolsters) and adjustments.

 Please make payment in advance by bank transfer or cash/cheque to reserve your spot.  If you are unable to make the class please give me at least 48 hours notice, any later than this then I’m afraid I’m unable to offer a refund.

 Tuesday classes

Tuesdays classes in Salisbury will be moving location from 26th October to The Therapy Centre, 57 Winchester St, Salisbury SP1 1HL.  There is free parking after 3pm nearby at Culver Street.  If you’d like to come along to either the 6-7pm or 7.15-8.15pm class, just let me know.  

Isaac Watts class

Sadly I’ll be stopping my yoga class at Isaac Watts Church on Friday evenings.  As I’ve moved to Salisbury, it was getting a bit much for me to travel there each week.  Last class will be Friday 23rd October.  I’m looking to start a new daytime yoga class on Fridays in Salisbury, so do let me know if you’d potentially be interested in this.
