iRest Yoga Nidra - for Stress Management
74% of UK adults have felt so stressed at some point over the last year they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope. Whilst we can’t prevent stress entering our lives, we can control how we react towards it. iRest Yoga Nidra is an effective tool both to reduce anxiety in the short term, but also to help build emotional resilience in the longer term.
This Masterclass will include a 40 minute guided meditation, as well as discussion on the science of stress and the multiple ways that iRest can help address it. Workshop attendees will also be given access to a recording to use at home.
No previous meditation experience required.

Yin Yoga, as a practice for deep inner peace and relaxation invites us to reconnect in a gentle and compassionate way with our body, mind and soul. By holding poses for a longer period it increases our ability to be in the present moment and slowly brings us closer to our authentic self. Yin Yoga invites us to meet our inner resistance and shows us how to find a place of comfort in a not-so-comfortable place as well as noticing our thoughts and reactions from a perspective of calmness.

masterclass series: Hormone Yoga
Sunday 7th June
5.30 - 7pm
with Martina Elter
£12.50 or £10.50 with Masterclass 5 Pass
As part of our Masterclass series this session is dedicated to Hormone Yoga and taught by Martina Elter.
A masterclass for women who would like to explore a practice which can relieve and eliminate most symptoms of unbalanced hormones.
Hormone yoga is a therapeutic application of Yoga for hormonal imbalance and the associated complaints. This particular practice was developed by Dinah Rodgrigues.
The practice can be helpful for many women from the age of 35. From this point, the natural hormone production will start to decrease along with stresses and strains becoming more noticeable. It helps to manage the symptoms of menopause as well as PMS, polycystic ovaries, irregular periods, anxiety, depression, acne and hypothyroidism.
Certain women with infertility problems have also seen benefits as a result of a regular practice of hormone yoga. It can be a healthy alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT).The hormone yoga exercise series is composed of asanas, which act directly on the female hormone-producing glands and organs such as the ovaries and thyroid. Breathing exercises and subsequent energy control to the hormone glands intensify this effect.
People who should not practice Hormone Yoga are:
- Pregnant women
- Women affected by breast cancer
- Advanced endometriosis;
- Persons suffering with severe psychiatric problems
- Those affected by hormone fed types of cancer. Only after recovery in consultation with oncologists".
