Summer Solstice Class
Jun
19

Summer Solstice Class

The Summer Solstice marks the arrival of the longest day of the year when the earth tilted at its maximum towards the sun. It’s the astronomical first day of summer but also called midsummer by some who see it as the midpoint of the season. Characterised by an abundance of light, the Summer Solstice has traditionally been seen as a time for celebrating the sun - its energy and its life-giving properties - before the days gradually begin to shorten. It’s also long been associated with fertility, abundance, and even magic.  

At this Friday night class, we’ll celebrate together with a yoga practice that reflects the energy of the season and helps us connect to our own inner cycles and light. The evening will begin with a slow flow practice that gently warms the body, gradually opening it to deeper expansive shapes. This will be followed by a soothing and relaxing yin yoga practice with mindfulness, inquiry questions and breath work offering time for insight and reflection.

Winter Solstice Class
Dec
19

Winter Solstice Class

The winter solstice or midwinter marks the shortest period of daylight and longest night when the sun is at its lowest elevation in the sky. For centuries it has been seen across cultures as a time for ritual and festivals. Symbolically, the winter solstice represents regeneration and renewal as it signifies the rebirth of the sun and a gradual shift to longer days and more daylight. It is also a time for self-reflection.

In this class, we’ll create space to turn inwards and explore gentle practices that slowly galvanize and harness our energy. As usual, the session will be divided into two parts beginning with a dynamic slow flow before melting into deeply nourishing restorative yoga to soothe and calm body and mind.

Yoga Therapy + IFS
Oct
12

Yoga Therapy + IFS

This workshop is an opportunity to explore the mind-body connection and deepen your relationship with your inner world. It is for anyone interested in exploring yoga, mindfulness and somatic techniques and how they can help regulate the nervous system and foster mental and emotional balance. We'll also look at the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of self-inquiry as a tool for developing self-awareness and compassion. 

The session will be a blend of theory, experiential practices, discussion and partner work in the form of sharing and therapeutic listening. It will incorporate movement and yoga postures (both yin and yang), breathing practices, mindfulness, somatic techniques, meditation and self-inquiry. The group will be intentionally small to allow more space and time for exploration, questions and feedback.

With almost 15 years of yoga teaching experience, Chloé is combining her knowledge and skills as a yoga therapist and IFS practitioner in this specialised workshop. This is a rare opportunity to experience the blend of bottom-up (physiological and sensory) and top-down (cognitive) approaches to mental and emotional wellbeing.

Places are limited. Please email Chloé directly to join.

£50 Early Bird Price (until 28/09/25) / £60 after that.

Autumn Equinox Class
Sept
19

Autumn Equinox Class

As summer ends the light fades, the temperature drops and Autumn creeps in. The late September Autumn Equinox marks the turning of the seasons and a move towards a slower pace. It's a time for gathering in: finishing projects and harvesting thoughts, ideas and plans. The energy of Autumn reflects a shift towards introspection where we can contemplate our life and feel more grounded in the body. This class will offer you the space to do just that with a mindful slow flowing yang practice to anchor the attention inwards and draw the energy down. Soothing and relaxing yin yoga will round off the evening accompanied by breath work and inquiry - a chance to turn yet deeper inwards and reflect.

So, as well as five sessions of physical yoga, you'll get a daily dose breath work, a calmer nervous system and maybe learn more about yourself in the process.

All classes will be recorded to offer the option of practicing again or at a later date.

August Intensive
Aug
21
to 25 Aug

August Intensive

Join me in August for the second and final intensive challenge of 2023 – 5 days of consecutive early morning yoga. With summer in full swing, this Monday to Friday practice is a great way to make the most of light-filled mornings and warmer days with a daily 7-8am flow class.

The theme for the week is ‘exploring the niyamas in asana’. The niyamas are the second limb of the Eight Limbs of Yoga and are a set of moral and ethical principles first laid out by Patajanli in his Yoga Sutras. Designed to positively impact our yoga practice, they provide a supportive framework for development and we'll look specifically at how they might be applied to our movement practice.

The August Intensive challenge will be held each morning at The Stables Yoga Centre as well as online via Zoom. Classes will be recorded to offer the option of practicing again or at a later date. 

Each day we'll kick start the morning with a dynamic flowing hatha class to revitalise and inspire. The class will wake up your body, lift your energy and focus your mind. The sequence will vary each day and options will be offered to suit your level of ability. The intensive, however, is best suited to those with some experience of yoga (especially sun salutations) and not the complete beginner.

Yoga Therapeutics: Mind + Heart (Part 2)

In the second half of this two-part workshop series, we’ll continue looking at how yogic techniques can help manage stress, anxiety and depression. This time however, we’ll address ‘top down’ approaches such as mindfulness, meditation, self-compassion and inquiry work. As the mind and body are intimately connected, one can influence the other. Here, the mind will be the focus with some physical practice woven in as a support. There’ll also be theory and discussion, plus you’ll receive a handout and guided audio practice to take home. Please note, the group size for this event is deliberately small so please book your place in advance.
