Looking forward to seeing you all at our next workshop at Belmont Parish Hall on Saturday 20th July 2024, 10am to 12 midday

This month's session is being delivered by Caroline Shields.

Caroline is a BWY instructor teaching yoga at Darlington and South Durham area. She truly believe in the benefits of yoga for all and she particularly enjoys taking yoga to those who have maybe never tried it before, and then witnessing their wellbeing improve! As a teacher she aims to provide a welcoming environment without judgement, and a little giggle along the way!

Her class will begin with a focus on quietening the mind and then utilising that peace and drift when moving into some postures. Towards the end of the practice we will move to meditation and a nourishing relaxation.
There will be an opportunity to learn a little about The Bhagavad Gita and Meditation in this workshop.
Please bring a blanket to this class.

Look forward to seeing you all there 🙏🕉

Some people wrongly conflate yoga with religion, to be fair a minority of yoga teachers do too. Here is a link to an upcoming publication, written by my friend and fellow yoga teacher Pauline Steenbergen. Her book combines her faith as a Christian, Pauline is a Church of Scotland minister, with her love of yoga. N

A practical course for embodying the season of Lent through the intersection of classical Hatha Yoga practice and Christian spirituality. The eight sessions can be practised on a chair only or on an exercise mat.

Hello, I hope you are enjoying the Easter break and the renewal of colours and energy 💫🐣
Our next workshop takes place with Karen Hemming from Newcastle:

22nd April Saturday workshop information:

Date: Saturday 22nd April
Teacher: Karen Hemming
Location: All Saints church, Ravensdale Rd, Blackwell, Darlington DL3 8DT
Time: 10-12pm
Cost:£15 (BWY Members £12)
**Payment can be made on the door by card or cash.

Here is Karens Bio:
Yoga Therapy Co was founded by Karen Hemming whose interest in bodywork began over 35 years ago studying drama and movement. She became interested in the stories our bodies hold and how our history is hidden within them. She went on to to study Shiatsu at the East West Centre in London in 1989, qualifying and practising from 1995.

This interest then led to studying traditional Chinese medicine with Chinese acupuncturists to further her understanding of body work from an Eastern perspective. These experiences influence her Yoga teaching.

After completing her teacher training course with the British Wheel of Yoga she came across the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli. After a visit to Italy to work with Diane Long who was Vanda’s principal student she became fascinated by this way of working. Diane has had a big influence on Karen’s teaching and she describes her yoga as “Scaravelli inspired”.

Karen's session is titled
“ Being comfortable with not knowing. “

Hi everyone, if you're a yoga teacher based in Northumberland then why not come along to the next get-together of the Northumberland Yoga Group. It's a chance to share, make connections and practice together with others in the region. This is the first face-to-face gathering for a while and there will be a session led by the local legend Pam Snowball followed by hot drinks and chat. Venue is Longhorsley village hall, just north of Morpeth. Hope to see you there. :)
