Pop Up Nidra
£15.00
Thursday 9th January 2020
Come and snuggle up in sheepskin rugs and blankets and I will guide you through a beautiful long Nidra, sing you lullabies and then send you on your way, hopefully feeling a little more whole and restored.
I'm expecting this to fully book as there are only 12 spaces available, so do pleasebook it to reserve a spot!
Just £15, at The Stables in York on Thursday 9th January 2020 6-7.15pm.
"The nidra pop up was AMAZING. Everything about the pop up was great. I've been really physically unwell the past few months but I left feeling really energised and relaxed for the first time in ages. The theme of the nidra and the meditation was lovely, and Gill came and tucked everyone in with the blankets and was very attentive. Her singing was beautiful too. The whole session was very accessible too, as she said if people needed to move or take a break or anything they could, which removed any pressure. I just felt really safe and nurtured!"

Womb Yoga, Leeds
£50.00
Sunday 8th March 2020

This workshop is for women of all ages and stages of life. You either need to have a womb or to have once had a womb. You can be pregnant, menopausal, have had a hysterectomy or be dealing with fertility or menstrual issues, have endometriosis or you might just wish to connect to your own body wisdom.
Womb Yoga is a way of practicing yoga that connects to our naturally arising cycles that we, as women, are biologically built to embody. The intention for this workshop is to provide a space wherein which we can honour our feelings, intuition, bodies, wisdom and authenticity so that we may come home to ourselves and find a sense of belonging, from within.

Yoga for Emotional and Physical Strength, Leeds
£50.00
Sunday 17th May 2020
11am to 4pm
In this workshop we focus on strengthening the physical body during the morning, and on strengthening emotionally, psychologically and soulfully during the afternoon.
As a qualified Yoga Therapist with 20 years experience, Gillian combines classical and modern yoga postures and movements, structural anatomy awareness, Yoga Nidra, storytelling, movement, breath work, Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory and meditations to bring strength to the body, mind, heart and soul.
Through the art of storytelling, Nidra and meditation we will be connecting to the part of us that cannot be wounded, burdened or traumatised, the part of us which is the agent for psychological healing. Whilst at the same time acknowledging, honouring and listening to the parts of us that are wounded. So our focus will not just be physical strength ... it will also be soulular strength.
The intention for this workshop is for you to leave feeling empowered, strong and with a sense of belonging.
Whilst this workshop will be physically challenging in places, it is also accessible. Everyone is welcome. Please contact Gillian if you wish to talk.
£50 for the day, non refundable.

"As a black working class woman I find you and your yoga totally accessible and inclusive to me. I’m totally aware of who I’m surrounded by when I attend your workshops (and other classes and workshops too) but I feel that your yoga is for me too." Zoe Thomas, black working class woman, single mother
"I really enjoyed the workshop and you created a really lovely, nurturing environment that felt safe to be in. It was the perfect mix of movement, stillness, story and conversation. I found it a really useful step too in my healing process; the work on trauma at the end was particularly helpful from a personal perspective. I’ve been on a bit of a journey this year trying to understand the effects that trauma has on the body and am gradually trying to reset my nervous system... it’s a slow process, at times! I read Van der Kolk’s absolutely amazing ‘The Body Keeps the Score’ a few months ago - and I know he cites the role yoga can play in healing the nervous system - so it was really good to experience that kind of trauma sensitive/focused yoga in practice today." Laura
"Wow, something happened in that room after that last therapeutic meditation! I find all of your workshops deeply therapeutic on all levels. However that last practice took me (and I think everyone else) to another level." Zoe Thomas, black working class woman, single mother
Just a rambling note to say thanks for today, Gillian. I really felt like I had come home.....I thought your chanting today was beautiful, experienced and natural and very effective. Your take on the koshas was v powerful ..... I have drifted so far away from my practice and the idea of returning was scary and I couldn't see very far past the Metoo scandals and was feeling v disillusioned with it. But today was amazing." Angie, primary school teacher
