☀️ Take a moment to pause this summer... 🌿

We're delighted to welcome Gill Gittins to lead our August Tyne & Wear Yoga Group online workshop.

🧘‍♀️ Summer Online Workshop with Gill Gittins: Soft, Smile, Welcome: Try softer not harder

📅 Saturday 8 August
🕙 10:15am – 11:45am
💻 Online via Zoom
📧 To register, email:

Summer can be a busy time, so this workshop is an opportunity to slow down, breathe and reconnect.

Through a gentle and nourishing yoga practice, we'll explore movement, breath and relaxation, creating space to rest, unwind and simply enjoy being present. The overall theme of Gill’s workshop is “Soft, Smile, Welcome: Try Softer not Harder”.

Refuse to brace, to hold, to endure that which isn’t welcome. Instead, soften the body, the breath and the mind, and smile and welcome the practice, working with aspects of the self (the koshas) to suit your individual level. Following an asana practice to explore the koshas we will practice a soothing pranayama called triangle breathing which will lead nicely into a relaxation.

🌼 Suitable for all levels of experience.

💷 Cost:
• £6 for BWY Members
• £7 for Non-Members

We'd love you to join us for what promises to be an inspiring, nourishing and restorative morning.

Please do share this post with anyone who you think would enjoy taking a little time out for themselves this summer. 💚

Cultivating Equanimity
with Sarah Banks

This special workshop will be a charity event 💛
Please come along with a charity in mind, and we’ll draw one from the hat to decide where the proceeds from the session will go.

Equanimity is often described as a balanced and steady state of mind — something that can feel hard to access in today’s busy world.

In this workshop, Sarah will guide us through a practice exploring balance in body, breath and mind through:
✨ static and dynamic asana
✨ breathwork
✨ relaxation

Suitable for all abilities.

🧘 Please bring your own mat, blocks and blanket if needed for relaxation.

☕ We’ll also be staying afterwards for tea, coffee and a catch-up, so do feel free to bring a small treat to share too (please label allergens).
