The Soul Shack - Yoga And Therapies

The best thing about being a yoga teacher and holistic therapist? Combining the two. Lovely head massages during relaxation with an old and faithful oil blend. Next-level savasana... 💜

Sneaky little Friday appointment has just freed up - 10.30am Someone book in and save me from filing...Sneaky little Friday appointment has just freed up - 10.30am Someone book in and save me from filing...

*ever wanted to give reiki a try?* It's an excellent antidote to the onset of seasonal insanity, come and be soothed for while instead, recharge your batteries and bring yourself back into balance. get in touch if you'd like a little more info 💜

Heading out West for a couple of days... will catch up on everything upon my return 💜

Spent this morning at the pumpkin patch at Pencoed Fach Farm near Blackwood getting ourselves ready for Halloween... muddy, happy and pumpkin-festooned after some free ranging, all is right with the world.

October seems to be bringing with it a whole host of lurgies... the facial massage element of a holistic facial can help clear and drain blocked sinuses as well as all the other good stuff.
£25 instead of £37 throughout October.

*happy birthday to us!* The Shack is a year old... so humbling and so very amazing. A huge thank you to the friends that believed, the family that supported, particularly my incredible dad for trekking here twice a week, my mama for her unerring love and energy for Oshi and Rob for his general magnificence, patience, understanding and being the best one, and the people who have given me opportunities I never imagined. And, of course, every person who has been to see me for ...a treatment, told their friends, told people in the supermarket (truly!), posted reviews, returned to yoga classes every week even though I don't know my left from my right... I cannot thank you enough. Thank you from the bottom of my toes for everything. It truly means the world.

Couple of spaces left on Saturday morning 💜

*** HOLISTIC FACIALS ARE GO! *** This is Collette after her holistic facial last week... You too could look this youthful after a cleanse, tone, clay mask, hand and arm or foot massage and facial massage to promote drainage, sinus relief and relaxation. Lovely lovely lovely.

Slight price increase for aromatherapy massages, I'm afraid, reflecting the prices of oils... £37 an hour, £22 for 30 mins 💜Slight price increase for aromatherapy massages, I'm afraid, reflecting the prices of oils... £37 an hour, £22 for 30 mins 💜

Weather set to be good, see you tomorrow!

Probably about time I started accepting that this is actually happening tomorrow... equally delighted and terrified to be speaking at @thedailydosewales event tomorrow night as a guest speaker...
How bloody amazing to have something like this in Newport, come along, support, heckle and watch it grow! Hopefully I will keep my verbal incontinence under control.

No Yoga in the Park this morning, I'm afraid... weather too questionable. See you next week! 💜

... in the words of noughties Maximo Park. Having a mini retreat all by myself (hooray!) to recharge and plug in and soothe and return a better teacher and therapist. Not a lot to ask for 24 hours away then...
All messages and things will be responded to when I return, as I am absolutely unplugging. First time in a year and a bit, and very much needed.

Did you spot us in the park on Saturday? Yoga in the Park, 8am on Saturdays (as long as it isn't raining!) Risca Park. Really informal, donation based class so pay what you feel you can, everyone absolutely welcome and i have spare mats... plenty of space to run away if you don't fancy it. 💜

Today I unplugged completely and took my mama to Dewstow Gardens... incredibly beautiful, understated gardens that were filled in in the 1940s. Underground caves and grottoes and pools and streams created originally to grow fern specimens, completely forgotten then rediscovered about 20 years ago. Hothouses turned into barns. It is really quite amazing. And the incredible gardens just under your feet, only really discovered through work and effort? Pretty sure there's a life lesson in there somewhere.
