Deep Mid-Winter Selfcare Workshop
2022-01-16 14:00 - 16:30 | Pure Yoga Cheshire, 29, Charlotte Street,, Macclesfield, England, SK11 6JB, United Kingdom
Yuliya Higham Yoga + YHApothecary

As the days are beginning to get longer, middle of January is the time to slowly start coming out of winter slumber. From Ayurvedic perspective we start to accumulate seasonal imbalances towards the end of season, so dampness and cold winter days can lead to accumulation of mucus, feeling of heaviness, lethargy and even depression, all due to increasing presence of the Earth and Water elements.
This workshop is an invitation to take a few hours just for yourself to deeply ground and reconnect, taking good care of the holy temple of the soul that is your unique and beautiful body.
We will start with a gentle restorative yoga sequence to settle the nervous system down, assist the lymphatic flow and connect to the body and breath.
After a short break with the offering of season-oriented herbal tea and snacks, you will be guided trough self-administered skincare ritual using the product that have been specifically created for the season, based on aromatherapeutic and Ayurvedic principles.
Please wear something loose that you don’t mind getting oily.
Expect to leave feeling glowing, nourished, grounded, rejuvenated and held.
£35 – book via our Book Now page.
Due to the nature of this interactive workshop, we have a very limited amount of spaces. Tickets are non refundable and non transferable.

Gong Bath Meditation is a practice that aids healing by synchronizing our brain and restoring balance & harmony in our human system. Book via our “Book Now” page. Cost £15 non refundable and non transferable. More information about the Gong Bath:

Water is not involved in a Gong Bath Meditation.

Instead, you are bathed in the sounds and vibrations of gongs, & crystal bowls. It is a sound bath that creates profound relaxation.

Gong Bath Meditations alter brain wave patterns from the Beta (waking state) to Theta & Delta (meditative) states. Science teaches that meditative brain frequencies enable us to access our deeper subconscious and superconscious, which are key states for healing.

Sound healing is not a new fad. The gong is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. Based on ancient wisdom, gongs vibrate at the same frequency as the body allowing the body to heal itself.

These ideas might sound kind of “woo-woo”, but Sound Energy Healing is a physical phenomenon based on universal physical and biological principles called Sonic entrainment, where rhythmic vibrations of similar frequencies resonate in unison.

The universal principles of sound mean you do not have to believe in Sound Energy Healing or understand it, to benefit from sessions. However, you might be like many people, and want to know what proof exists for energy healing.

Okay, here comes a little Science lesson: The sounds during a gong bath can be used to rebalance our human system. There is a profound effect on our cardiovascular, autonomic, endocrine and immune systems. It is an excellent therapy for stress-related issues, such as depression and anxiety.

What to expect in a group Gong Bath session:

Ideally you will experience the gong bath lying comfortably on your back. You will need to bring along a blanket and a pillow.

All you have to do is lie comfortably and close your eyes and relax. I then begin by playing the gongs very softly, increasing the volume as the session progresses (the volume never gets unbearable as I am playing therapeutically). I change the playing technique frequently so there is no fixed rhythm which results in the brain not being able to follow and entrainment takes place. Entrainment is the changing of brainwave frequencies.

After a continuous 40 minutes of gong playing, I start to wind down and play very gently for five minutes fading away to nothing. I then spend a little time talking you back to awareness.

The gong is an amazing and powerful instrument for healing work; I recommend that you take it easy for the rest of the day to allow the treatment to continue to do its work. I also advise that you drink plenty of water.

Setting the intention or creative visualisation Difference between stress and relaxation short set of exercises to help you relax ready Sound bath with gongs Gentle return to full awareness

Out of respect to all participants and due to the sensitive nature of the work, DOORS CLOSE once a sessions has started there will be no admission:

If you would like to reserve a place, please purchase your ticket early. Gong bath sessions are very popular. We would like to fit everybody in but tickets will be limited to space so we ensure that everybody has enough space to be comfortable and also so that everybody can be looked after.

A few things to bring with you:

• A yoga mat to lie on, a pillow for your head and a blanket as some people might get a bit chilly during the session (we do provide them but feel free to bring your own cosy blanket). We try and make the room as warm as possible for you, but if you feel the cold please make sure you wear plenty of layers and thick socks.

• Please try to be on time so we hope you can be there for the whole session and share this experience together.

• Please bring with you….your honesty, your compassion, your courage and your fears, your dreams and your doubts, your joy and your tears, your sense of humour, your voice if you want, and your unique self.

What Is Cacao?
For thousands of years, since ancient Civilisations, Cacao has been used in rituals and ceremonies as a tool for journeying deep inside the self, allowing spirit to move through and guide.
Cacao is one of the most nutritionally dense superfoods and provides many benefits both spiritual & physical.
It contains more antioxidants than any other food on the planet.
It stimulates the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and anandamide – the ‘bliss chemical’ – leading to feelings of euphoria.
It relaxes the muscles and balances the nervous system whilst focusing the mind and activating the heart.
Cacao is ‘The Food for the Shift’
“An Indigenous myth tells us whenever the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, cacao comes from the rainforest to open people’s hearts and return us all to harmony.”

What is a Kirtan ?
Kirtan is part of an ancient form of yoga known as Bhakti, or the yoga of devotion. It is the practice of singing the many names of the Divine. This practice of calling to the divine creates a bridge between the individual and the eternal, opening the heart and welcoming the spirit. Sometimes soft and meditative and sometimes loud and wildly rhythmic, Kirtan takes the participant on a deep emotional and musical journey through our mostly unexplored inner world. With solo performance and call-and-response group chanting, Tom Shanti is an experienced Kirtan leader and multi musician and loves to create a space of invocation, prayer, and heartfelt expression.
In this age of constant distraction social media and 24/7 news etc our minds are very scattered and it’s energy is dissipated. That is why mantra meditation is the easiest way to achieve inner calm and focus. Students report feeling inspired and uplifted after a session of chanting. It helps to open up the heart. The ego is dampened as you get lost in the music, singing like an innocent child, without a care in the world
The ancient practice of Kirtan or yoga mantra has the capacity to open the heart and quiet the mind. These workshops combine mantra with singing. A mantra is a sacred sound in the form of a word or phrase, which is repeated in order to free the mind. Repetition of the mantra in a calm, meditative state, can help us to break habits and behaviour patterns that no longer serve us and can assist in unleashing our creativity and deepest potential. Singing mantras with musical instruments as an accompaniment is a way to help focus and absorb body, mind and soul in the sound. If the mantra is the antidote, the music is the potion that makes it easy to take.
. Any self-conscious thoughts or limiting beliefs are dampened as you become totally at one, absorbed in the rhythm.
Although this is traditionally a spiritual practice, you can just think of it as a sing-along. In this very relaxed, informal environment, the leader sings the mantra, and the audience repeats it back. This is not about having a great singing voice, it’s about creating a vibration, so that you may feel a connection with your soul. Therefore, although you are encouraged to find your voice, there is no obligation to participate, so you may just sit and listen and absorb the vibration and soak up the group energy. A single chant can go on for a number of minutes. As you sing with each other you experience a deep connection with the music, the other participants and yourself. And when the music stops, your mind is quiet.

Mermaid’s Dream Self-Care Ritual
2022-08-14 14:00 - 16:30 | Pure Yoga Cheshire, 29, Charlotte Street,, Macclesfield, England, SK11 6JB, United Kingdom
Yuliya Higham Yoga + YHApothecary
I must be a mermaid. I have no fear of depth And a great fear Of shallow living. – Anais Nin
In mid-summer with the Sun at its highest the Fire element becomes prevalent in the body, manifesting itself in anger, frustration, heartburn, skin rashes, thirst and heavy burning sensation in feet and legs. Mermaid’s Dream selfcare ritual is all about taking care of our feet, the metaphorical roots that connect us to the Earth.
Carrying us through life’s twists and turns, feet rarely get time and attention they deserve and with so many energy points and lines running through them even a simple touch can initiate deep grounding and healing from within.
The ritual will include guided meditation, breathwork and embodied movement, finishing with deeply sensory foot treatment based on Thai Yoga Massage principles, tapping into the healing energy of botanicals to bring lightness into your step.
You will also receive a selection of samples of the products we use to recreate this ritual at home. Come wearing something loose and bring a towel if you can.

Gong Bath Meditation with Jane
2022-09-04 17:30 - 18:30 | Pure Yoga Cheshire, 29, Charlotte Street,, Macclesfield, England, SK11 6JB, United Kingdom
This beautiful healing event with Jane is often fully booked, so we ask you to book in advance and arrive a few minutes before 5.30 pm to settle as we will start on time.
Gong Bath Meditation is a practice that aids healing by synchronizing our brain and restoring balance & harmony in our human system.
Cost £15 – non refundable and non transferable – please book via our timetable
More information about the Gong Bath:
Water is not involved in a Gong Bath Meditation.
Instead, you are bathed in the sounds and vibrations of gongs, & crystal bowls. It is a sound bath that creates profound relaxation.
Gong Bath Meditations alter brain wave patterns from the Beta (waking state) to Theta & Delta (meditative) states. Science teaches that meditative brain frequencies enable us to access our deeper subconscious and superconscious, which are key states for healing.
Sound healing is not a new fad. The gong is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. Based on ancient wisdom, gongs vibrate at the same frequency as the body allowing the body to heal itself.
These ideas might sound kind of “woo-woo”, but Sound Energy Healing is a physical phenomenon based on universal physical and biological principles called Sonic entrainment, where rhythmic vibrations of similar frequencies resonate in unison.
The universal principles of sound mean you do not have to believe in Sound Energy Healing or understand it, to benefit from sessions. However, you might be like many people, and want to know what proof exists for energy healing.
Okay, here comes a little Science lesson:
The sounds during a gong bath can be used to rebalance our human system. There is a profound effect on our cardiovascular, autonomic, endocrine and immune systems. It is an excellent therapy for stress-related issues, such as depression and anxiety.
What to expect in a group Gong Bath session:
Ideally you will experience the gong bath lying comfortably on your back. You will need to bring along a blanket and a pillow.
All you have to do is lie comfortably and close your eyes and relax. I then begin by playing the gongs very softly, increasing the volume as the session progresses (the volume never gets unbearable as I am playing therapeutically). I change the playing technique frequently so there is no fixed rhythm which results in the brain not being able to follow and entrainment takes place. Entrainment is the changing of brainwave frequencies.
After a continuous 40 minutes of gong playing, I start to wind down and play very gently for five minutes fading away to nothing. I then spend a little time talking you back to awareness.
The gong is an amazing and powerful instrument for healing work; I recommend that you take it easy for the rest of the day to allow the treatment to continue to do its work. I also advise that you drink plenty of water.
Setting the intention or creative visualisation Difference between stress and relaxation short set of exercises to help you relax ready Sound bath with gongs Gentle return to full awareness
Out of respect to all participants and due to the sensitive nature of the work, DOORS CLOSE once a sessions has started there will be no admission:
If you would like to reserve a place, please purchase your ticket early. Gong bath sessions are very popular. We would like to fit everybody in but tickets will be limited to space so we ensure that everybody has enough space to be comfortable and also so that everybody can be looked after.
A few things to bring with you:
• A yoga mat to lie on, a pillow for your head and a blanket as some people might get a bit chilly during the session (we do provide them but feel free to bring your own cosy blanket). We try and make the room as warm as possible for you, but if you feel the cold please make sure you wear plenty of layers and thick socks.
• Please try to be on time so we hope you can be there for the whole session and share this experience together.
• Please bring with you….your honesty, your compassion, your courage and your fears, your dreams and your doubts, your joy and your tears, your sense of humor, your voice if you want, and your unique self.

Tuscany Yoga Retreat September 2022
2022-09-08 08:00 - 2022-09-17 18:00 | Casale Pundarika, Località Cordarzingoli, 18, 56046 Riparbella PI, Italy, Riparbella, Pisa, 56046, Italy
A Late Summer Yoga retreat in beautiful Tuscany
From 8th to 17th September 2022
Connect with Nature, Relax and Rejuvenate

Surrounded by a Mediterranean forest, Casale Pundarika is the special location for our annual late summer retreat. A typical Tuscan country house ideally set in a magical place 2km from the village of Riparbella on the Maritime Hills a few km from the Tyrrhenian coast. A mixed landscape of woods, olive groves, vineyards and a skilfully-worked countryside reflect the agricultural origins of the town.

Comfortable shared accommodation, ample practice rooms and the possibility to practice yoga outside on the gorgeous terrace, from which the rising sun can be contemplated during our morning practices. During this retreat we will be practicing mostly outside on the newly built decking which is ideally located under a canopy of native cork oak trees, a beautiful setting for this magical time of the year. Sometimes attendees choose to spend the night on the decking as part of their practice – feeling at one with Nature and contemplating the beauty of the magical land (this is optional).

As part of the retreat process we ask to respect each other’s space and sanctity by limiting the use of electronic devices, and honoring the daily periods of silence. Mornings will be silent until 12 o’clock, and there will be one full day of silence where we will ask you to switch off your mobile phone. We understand this might be a unique occurrence in this day and age, but there will be a 24 hour contactable phone number for the retreat centre in case of emergency.

The programme offers:

Meditation and Pranayama early morning
Yoga asana (postures) mid-morning
Afternoon practice
Late evening gatherings on some days.

There will be time for quietly enjoying contemplation and personal time. We will observe silence each morning until lunch time, as well as a full day of silence as part of our practice. There is the option of organizing visits to the local wild beaches as well as nearby lovely mediaeval towns like Volterra and Populonia. This will be organized onsite and it will be paid at the retreat.

More details on cost and accommodation:

Accommodation: €540 for apartment sharing, €675 for double/twin sharing, € 1080 for single use occupancy (figures are in € currency). Please note this has to be paid to Casale Pundarika directly – bank details have changed, we will provide you with details to make payment once your spot has been confirmed. This includes accommodation, all delicious and locally sourced vegetarian meals (breakfast, lunch and supper plus fruit and teas available the whole day) and the use of the heated outdoor bath tub.

Yoga tutoring: £465 per person, deposit required to secure your spot – £200 non returnable.

The nearer airport is Pisa – flights from Manchester and other major UK airport are excellent and can be booked well in advance. Transport from and to the airport can be arranged with a convenient taxi pick up on arrival and departure.

Numbers are strictly limited, so bookings are confirmed with a (non returnable) deposit of £200 with the balance to be paid by 1st of September 2022. Bank transfer or cash accepted. In case of cancellation due to Covid restrictions, we can either return the deposit (minus £50 admin fee) or move the deposit to a future retreat.

Somatic Education and Yoga - Relax on Sunday
2022-09-11 15:00 - 18:00
Sunday 11 of September 2022
From 3 to 6 pm – £30 – book now
We are very excited to offer Somatic Movement Education in Macclesfield again: a safe, gentle and common sense approach to help relax the body and the mind, and to help ease chronic muscle pain for the long term. It is an educational process of neuromuscular re-training, a sensory motor method that helps you to reverse the cause of most chronic muscle pain.
This workshop is suitable for everyone, whether you are experiencing some discomfort in your body right now, or whether you want to enjoy an afternoon of gentle nurturing practices that you can take away with you and use to prevent strain and tensions.
Somatic Education allows more ease and freedom of movement in our bodies. It teaches us to recognize and release chronic pain patterns, resulting from injury, stress, repetitive motion strain, or habituated postures. Somatic exercises are simple, slow movements that are done comfortably on the floor. Through awareness and movement, they sequentially unwind holding patterns in the body. This enables you to enjoy the normal activities in you life, such as walking, running, yoga, sports, and everyday functional movements, with more pleasure and ease.
What to expect in this workshop:

General introduction of Somatic Movement Education
A gentle practice including releasing tense movement patterns and enjoying moving from “inside out”
Experiential Yoga postures – classical yoga asana practised with inner clarity and awareness
“Cat Stretch”: a series of daily movements that can be easily incorporated in your routine
Final meditation and relaxation

Francesca trained with Living Somatics and has been practicing Somatic Movement education since 2007. She often incorporates some somatic movements in her yoga teaching, and she is very excited to offer an afternoon inspired by Hannah Somatics.

What Is Cacao?
For thousands of years, since ancient Civilisations, Cacao has been used in rituals and ceremonies as a tool for journeying deep inside the self, allowing spirit to move through and guide.
Cacao is one of the most nutritionally dense superfoods and provides many benefits both spiritual & physical.
It contains more antioxidants than any other food on the planet.
It stimulates the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and anandamide – the ‘bliss chemical’ – leading to feelings of euphoria.
It relaxes the muscles and balances the nervous system whilst focusing the mind and activating the heart.
Cacao is ‘The Food for the Shift’
“An Indigenous myth tells us whenever the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, cacao comes from the rainforest to open people’s hearts and return us all to harmony.”
