Celebration of Spring

Saturday 16th March 2024

A special afternoon/evening celebrating the coming of Spring including a Peruvian Despatcho ceremony – giving thanks to Pachamama (Earth Mother) for all she gives us & then letting go with FIRE of what no longer serves us.

You will also be part of a sacred ceremony where you will receive the first of the 9 Munay-Ki Rites – The Healers Rite.  The Pi Stone which is part of the ceremony will be yours to keep.

The evening concludes with a Gong Bath & Ceremonial Cacao.

Places for this very special event are limited.

Cost for 3 hour session – £50

To book – purchase a ‘Workshop £50’ and use it to book in on 16th March.

Non members – please email to register your interest

(Cancellations with more than 72 hours notice a full CR will be applied to your account – less than 72 hours notice 50% CR only).

Charity Yoga

In March Body Nurture will be offering 5 days of yoga – open to all and FREE OF CHARGE

If you are looking to get into a healthy morning routine, dust off the winter blues and be ready for Spring then these 45 minute ‘salute the sun’ sessions are for you!

The downside?  Well the ‘night owls’ might not appreciate the early start – but those of us who fall into the ‘lark’ category will love it!

When?

Mon 4th – Fri 8th March

What Time?

6.45 – 7.30 am

It will be first light around 6 am and sunrise will be around 6.50.  Rise with the sun as our ancestors did!

Cost?

FOC – however attendees will be invited to make a voluntary donation for charity

Who can attend?

Anyone – including beginners.  However this is a commitment to 5 straight days of yoga – so you have to attend all 5 days!  Come on – step out of your comfort zone!

Why?

My way of giving something back to The Universe and hopefully raising some money for charity.  (The group can decide which charity)

How do I book?

Simply email me and I’ll pop you on the list!  Limited to 6 places.

Somatics – Next Steps

£22 Including light refreshments

A Somatics workshop for those who have attended the ‘Introduction to Somatics’ sessions in Oct/Nov 2022.

With a basic understanding of the concept of Somatics we are ready to progress to learning a basic workout that you can practice regularly at home.

What’s included in the session:

As in the previous sessions we will run a ‘self body scan’ – noticing where we are tight/uneven/out of balance

A recap on some of the basics

A closer look at Red and Green light and Trauma reflexes and how we might go about planning our own ‘maintenance’ self practice according to the needs of our bodies.

If you are interested in attending this session but did not attend the ‘Introduction To Somatics’ session last year it is still possible to attend if you would like to book a one to one session with me to bring you up to speed.

Please email me if you would like to do this – and if there is more than one person I will try to arrange the session so that you can attend together which will be reflected in the reduced price per person susan@bodynurture.co.uk

Somatics Workshop (2)

Saturday 5th November 10.30 am – 12.30 pm

Fully Booked – please email if you would like to go on the wait list

£20 includes light refreshments

Hanna Somatics is a safe, gentle and common sense approach to eliminating chronic muscle pain for the long term. It is the only sensory motor training method that teaches you to reverse the root cause of most chronic muscle pain and gives you strategies to reduce muscle tension and pain in the future.

We are lead to the belief that as we get older our physical ability declines and we become more and more restricted in our movements.

This need not be the case!

During this Workshop you will be introduced to the 8 basic exercises originally presented by Thomas Hanna in his book Somatics – Reawakening the Mind’s Control of Movement, Flexibility & Health

To book – members please go to ‘WORKSHOPS’ on the home page of Booking System.  You can make payment/book from here
