Kundalini yoga – Saturday mornings monthly
For years I’ve noticed that people with the healthiest backs practice yoga.  This inspired me to train to become a teacher. I am now a Kundalini yoga teacher and able to share this amazing practice with you!  I’m so excited to have this divine tool for people to excel into optimum health and happiness!

Kundalini yoga works on the whole being not just the physical body and with this comes a sense of deep contentment.  The balance of activity and rest, conscious breathing, relaxation and deepening ones sense of awareness is an essential practice to integrate into daily life.  This is why yoga is so effective at helping people be healthy and happy outside of class too.

I see in the near future there will be lots of weekly Kundalini yoga classes in East Lothian and beyond.  To begin I’m offering a monthly Saturday morning class 8am to 10am starting on 31st January at the yurt.  To book your space contact jen@reconnecttoself.com or 07931886573.

 

Sound Healing – Fridays 7pm with Julie Maxwell, Jen Gold & guests!

Healing with sound is an ancient practice that has been used by humans throughout the ages.  Come and experience a wide variety of instruments which create sounds that help to free and release stress and have a wonderfulcalming effect.  Sounds resonate right to the cellular level and can evenstrengthen your DNA.  Join Julie from Timeless Therapies for a sound bathevery second Friday starting this Friday 30th January. 7pm to 8.30pm – £6.For more info or to book your space contact Julie on 07922565403 or email timelesstherapies@hotmail.co.uk
