Carolyn – Build your Pilates Foundations (to include your own exercise ball)
20th September | 11:30am – 1:00pm
£25
Pilates exercises help to stretch, tone and strengthen the body. The exercises focus on the deep core muscles of the spine and pelvis and various stabiliser muscles of the body to improve overall alignment, posture and strength. The principles of Pilates include concentration, connecting the exercise to the breath, core connection and awareness of body alignment and positioning. Pilates exercises usually involve high repetitions, often using our own body weight to build strength and also standing weight bearing exercises to improve our balance. It is very beneficial in building a stronger core, which may help reduce back pain.

Hello, lovely people of Jordans!
Get ready to unwind, restore, and find your inner calm with our upcoming Soothing Saturday Yoga Workshops.
This special workshop is designed to offer a beautiful journey into deep relaxation and gentle healing. We’ll begin by easing into a series of restorative yoga poses. Using props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks, you’ll be fully supported as you gently stretch and release tension from both your body and mind. This is a time to slow down, be still, and simply let go.

From there, we will transition into the profound practice of Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep.” Lying down comfortably, you’ll be guided through a systematic meditation that brings you to a state of deep conscious relaxation, leaving you feeling completely refreshed and renewed.
We will then complete our journey with a beautiful sound healing session. The resonant tones and vibrations from various instruments will wash over you, helping to clear energetic blockages and promote a sense of deep peace and harmony. It’s a truly magical way to close our practice and prepare you for a weekend of tranquillity.
What are the benefits of this practice?
- Reduces stress and anxiety: Helps to calm the nervous system and quiet the mind.
- Improves sleep quality: The deep relaxation can help alleviate insomnia and promote restful sleep.
