Expect to be introduced to a myriad of wild ingredients with diverse and exciting flavours, nibbling as we meander. From salad foliage to fruit, fungi to flowers, seeds, herbs, spices and more!

Yang poses tend to be more standing shapes, working muscles, that can be energising, enlivening and empowering.

In a Yin Yoga class you, you will find a place for stillness and profound rest, in which you are encouraged to listen deeply and intuitively to the feedback of your body, heart and mind. Inspired by Taoist Yoga, Five Elements and informed by Buddhist Mindfulness, Yin Yoga is a deeply grounded and earthy practice, in which we come to an appropriate edge and allow gravity to have us. 

Everything in the universe is energy vibrating at difference frequencies and every aspect of nature pulses in an endless interplay of delicate and complex vibrations – human beings are part of these pattern.
