**** FAMILY YOGA **** STILL A FEW PLACES LEFT**** SATURDAY 23rd MARCH 2019 - 2pm-4pm We are so happy to announce the next date for our ever popular Family Yoga: Come along for a wonderful afternoon of family yoga with our experienced teacher of children's yoga Caitlin.
... This workshop provides the perfect opportunity for you and your little yogis to reconnect and spend quality time together while enjoying the benefits of yoga in a fun, non-competitive way!
Family yoga is designed to build communication and teamwork, while improving self-confidence, increasing flexibility and strength through yoga poses, yoga games and partner poses, and develop a sense of stillness, calm and peace through relaxation and breathing techniques.
This is a great opportunity for children to learn tools to help them relax and cope with increased pressures at school.
Families that play games and explore poses together are able to connect in a very special way. There is no competition; there are no comparisons between siblings and/or parents. Everyone in the family can see each other’s' strengths and weaknesses, and appreciate the beauty in these differences. Each family member feels strong in their own body and supports everyone else.
Families sometimes run at high speed all day, every day. Between jobs, school and daily tasks, we sometimes don't have time even to chat to each other, let alone sit together and breathe. The amazing peaceful feeling that settles upon families after savasana (relaxation) brings a sense of calm that extends beyond the walls of the yoga studio.
Sometimes yoga can be quite a serious practice with explicit instructions and deep philosophical thinking. Not so much in a family class. The yoga games, theme and energy throughout the class create a lightness and a unique opportunity to laugh with each other and at yourself.
We welcome all members of the family to join us for an afternoon of family yoga, although it may be more suitable for children over the age of 4 due to the longer session but please speak to Caitlin if you have any questions.
Cost: family of 2 = £20 family of 3 = £30 family of 4 = £35
There will be a short break with refreshments provided.

LOUISE KENT - HYPNOTHERAPY Many of you may not be aware of our beautiful therapy room here at Shambhala.
We are lucky to have an amazing group of therapists offering many different types of treatments to help you on the road to health and wellbeing.
... Each month we feature one of our therapists and give you a brief description of the treatment they offer.
This month we introduce our Hypnotherapist; Louise Kent
About Hypnotherapy Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of mind, a bit like daydreaming or being engrossed in a good book.
During hypnosis your subconscious mind is open to positive suggestions and changes. The subconscious is the part of the mind that holds all of the things we have learned to do without thinking, like driving a car or eating with a knife and fork but it can also include things that are unhelpful to us which can create irrational thoughts and unwanted behaviours
Louise says, “Having had Hypnotherapy myself in the past, I was amazed at how something that had been making me feel anxious for years was resolved in just one session”. This was definitely something I wanted to share with others. I graduated with the Essex Institute of Clinical Hypnosis (EICH) and am ready to help you in the same way.

We still have a few places left for this great workshop Saturday 3rd March :-)

Many of you may not be aware of our beautiful therapy room here at Shambhala.
We are lucky to have an amazing group of therapists offering many different types of treatments to help you on the road to health and wellbeing.
Each month we feature one of our therapists and give you a brief description of the treatment they offer.
... This month we introduce Lin (Orasa Rogers)
Traditional Thai Massage The massage focuses on specific pressure points and also employs some gentle strengthening. No oil is used in this treatment.
Thai Massage helps release tension, increase vitality and create wholeness of mind, body and spirit. Thai Massage is deep, stimulating and invigorating, or a wonderful form of relaxation. Lin uses her hands, elbows, knees and feet to apply the appropriate pressure, as well as gentle stretching positions.
Thai Foot Massage Gentle pressure is applied to the reflex points in the feet; this treatment eases tension in your whole body.
Tok Sen Tok Sen massage is an ancient northern Thai practice that involves the use of a special wooden hammer to relax muscles in a rhythmically tapping motion.
Tok Sen therapy helps with physical aches and pains, energy blockages, nerve problems etc.
What really makes the Tok Sen massage stand out from other massage modalities, is that it combines the deep vibration produced by the wooden instruments with manual pressure and passive stretches, in order to transform the body, mind and energy and re-instate well-being.

Went to yoga & relaxation session today and it was so good , totally relaxed , will certainly go again

Our Daughter loves going to kids Yoga group here!!! Cannot praise this place enough Caitlin is amazing! Highly recommend x

Love it here, a perfect place that offers a wide range of holistic therapies. So glad I found it and how lucky for me, within a few miles of where I live. Been going to Amanda's Beginners Yoga for almost 5 months now, and feel the difference when I don't go! Nikki's massages are a godsend and so nice to check in with someone trained in Ayurveda! And also thanks to Adrian for starting me off on my Mindfulness journey too. I love the flexible approach to classes and the price is unbeatable when comparing to other similar places. If you haven't been already, please try! You won't regret it

I love our evening classes with Amanda, she's a great teacher and obviously enjoys what she's teaching :)

Have just started to go to Shambala. Beautiful space for yoga and pilates - have yet to try the other therapies but I definately will. The staff are so friendly and if you book 10 classes - the price is fantastic deal.

A real treat to attend such a super yoga session at Shambala on Wednesday morning at 9.15. I came out with a sense of wellbeing and calm. Wonderful.
