Mother Nuture Yoga and Sound Circle
with Ashleigh Ward and Ruth Semple
December 8th 7.30 – 9pm
A space to slow down, pause and be held. Followed by a restorative sound bath, tea and vegan treats.
Ashleigh will guide you through a soft yin & yang practice, observing how your body and breath respond. Building heat through a gentle flow before settling into a series of long supported yin postures, to help balance the energies of life.
