Summer Sessions
Restorative Yoga with Medicine Stories
Overview
These restorative yoga sessions include very gentle meditative movement, lots of stillness and deep rest, breathwork, meditations and deep relaxation. Gillian will also be weaving a medicine story throughout (same kind of thing as Clarissa Pinkola Estes's book 'Women Who Run with the Wolves')
When
Sunday 16th August 2026 2-3.30pm FULLY BOOKED
Sunday 30th August 2026 2-3.30pm FULLY BOOKED
Price
£15 per session (for an extra £5 you can get access to the lakes for swimming, and make a day of it! 💙)
What to Bring
Yoga mats are provided, but please feel free to bring your own if you would like - it can be nice to double up on mats. Gillian will be bringing blankets, but you can never have enough blankets in restorative yoga - so please bring whatever you can easily carry!
Who Can Come
Anyone can come. No need for any yoga experience. Gillian will guide you with care and attunement, offering practices that honor your pace, your boundaries, and your unique needs. You are encouraged to participate in whatever way feels supportive - moving, resting, or simply witnessing.
Weekly Classes
Starting September 2026!
Seasonal Yoga
These classes involve moving, strengthening and stretching the body, whilst following the seasons. When we connect to the rhythm of the year and the energy of each season, we bring ourselves into more balance and harmony. The rhythm of the moon, and plant medicine and folklore are also infused into the classes, to help you connect more deeply to the more than human world around us.
Overview
Classes usually begin with a short meditation, followed by moving, strengthening and stretching the body. The class ends with nidra (think business class relaxation!) The class is infused with meditations and breathwork.
When
Wednesdays 6.15pm-7.30pm STARTS 16TH SEPTEMBER
Fridays 10.45am-12pm STARTS 4TH SEPTEMBER
Price
£12.50 per session

Who Can Come
Anyone can come - beginners and experienced yoga people alike. Gillian will guide you with care and attunement, offering practices that honor your pace, your boundaries, and your unique needs. Lots of options are always given and you are encouraged to participate in whatever way feels supportive for you.

"Gillian creates magic and sanctuary in her yoga classes. I’m so grateful to have found her.
Each class is always exactly what I need; the movements, the words, the environment - and the all encompassing sense of safety and peace. But Gillian's classes are also fun, so I laugh and smile a lot.
She's just wonderful!!"
