Laura’s teaching reflects her appreciation of a diversity of Yoga styles. Classes are dynamic and creative; grounding and refreshing.  Sessions will include free movement to loosen and open; vinyasa sequences (moving with the breath) to warm and invigorate; standing asanas to strengthen; and calming stretches to cool and increase flexibility. Each class will end with the deeply relaxing practice of Restorative Yoga, allowing rest, re-balancing and rejuvenation. Students are encouraged to work at their own pace, bringing the qualities of fun and playful exploration to the practice of Yoga.

The challenge to all of us in the 21st century is how to live a meaningful and peaceful life in a world that is becoming faster moving, more stressful and more fearful. Mindful living is an exploration of the practice of present-moment awareness, kindness and whole-hearted living.
The programme is designed for people leading busy lives: people with stressful jobs, relationships, families, habits which challenge well-being, commitments, hopes and fears. The practice of mindfulness is a simple path to our core self, the place of inner wisdom, well being and happiness. It also provides tools for recognizing and reducing unhealthy stress and for becoming aware of our habits of though and action, which keep us stuck. This awareness is the first step toward self-transformation. The course will enable you to:
- Use Mind Clearing to develop mental and emotional fitness
- Learn meditation to control your mind through self observation and reflection
- Learn relaxation techniques to become calm, focussed and resilient
- Listen to your higher consciousness to tap into your own innate wisdom
- Find your sense of meaning, purpose and integrity
- Tackle habitual patterns and addictions
- Live more in the now
- Relate better to others and improve relationships
- Develop strategies to take positive action

Everyone follows their own life script.
This ‘script’ is like blueprint that tells us who we are, how we relate to others and what we can make of our lives. It develops from childhood most powerfully through our experiences of family and community and it helps to direct us through our relationships and in the decisions that we make. We owe it to ourselves to adapt and develop our life script so that it becomes a positive and affirming force that leads us confidently through life but sometimes, for whatever reason, we can feel stuck. We find ourselves repeating the same situations and trying to deal with the same sorts of problems over and over. Particularly at those times we can become pre-occupied with listening to our internal critical voices and it can become hard to break old patterns and see a way forward..   
This course will draw on different ideas from systemic and narrative therapy and from drama to offer participants the opportunity to examine the beliefs that guide them through life, to identify changes that they want to make and goals they want to achieve and then to develop and practice skills in achieving these.

Painting
By the time we reach adulthood, most of us have lost confidence in our natural birthright as artists.  We have been convinced that draughtsmanship is to do with ‘getting it right’, and have had repeated experiences of ‘getting it wrong’.  In fact, drawing is a basic form of literacy which anyone who can see and hold a pencil can acquire – quickly.  Creativity, in drawing as in life, has little to do with talent or superficial competence and much to do with getting comfortable with mess, play, exploration and process.  This course will explore drawing as a form of creative play; as a means of learning to see more clearly; as a way of sitting mindfully in the present moment; and as a way of increasing our appreciation of our surroundings.  In addition it will equip participants with a set of skills that will allow them to practise and progress independently.  In the process participants – including those who have always believed they cannot draw – will develop a more adventurous and confident relationship with their artistic skills, and discover drawing as a doorway to mindfulness, clarity, passion and inspiration.  Sketchbooks and drawing materials will be provided, although you are welcome to bring your own.

Drawing Workshop
Open to all, beginners and those with experience as well.  Sarah would provide group instruction to complete beginners, and then circulate amongst participants gearing teaching to their particular needs.

The very powerful and healthy need for love, acceptance, and nurturing - and to experience the delight of an other in us, begins in childhood, and when unmet can persist well into adulthood. The enduring longing to love and be loved with all its risks and implications is a healthy reminder that an integral part of ourselves remains unmet. Deep intimacy, built on love and trust, is the outcome when this need is fully met through quality contacts in all our various relationships.

This workshops looks at the origins of these unmet needs, the subsequent longings, and aims to increase your awareness as to how you currently block love and intimacy coming into your life, particularly the numerous ‘counterfeit’ ways which ultimately lead to pain and destruction. Most significantly, the workshop offers a clearer perspective on more satisfying ways of relating and being so as to better meet those unrequited longings for love and intimacy - to experience it with ourselves and others.

The essence of this group centres around the idea that people get stuck in many aspects of their lives: relationships, work, self perceptions, self esteem. There are many reasons for this stuckness, but the essential idea is that people will not take the necessary risks, and if they do, will often not experience the ensuing anxiety and discomfort long enough to maintain the growth, shift, or move in directions that will ultimately bring greater satisfaction to their life goals and dreams. Thus, avoidance of anxiety becomes primary for many, and they remain stuck in relatively unsatisfying relationships to others, themselves, family, and their vocation. Similarly, they may be spiritually depleted, and not sufficiently connected with their spirituality nor humanity. Further, they often do not go for, or sabotage, the very things that would make a positive change in their lives.

Through the issues that arise in the group, '"stuff " that people bring to the group, and from what emerges over the life of the group, participants may become more aware of how they hold themselves back, and the origins of these concerns and fears. Sometimes this awareness leads to one more step in the direction of growth, and sometimes it is a giant leap which has life-changing positive changes.
 
After building some safety and trust in the group, I tend to facilitate the process of the group utilising structures, interactions, and exercises derived from many years of experience in working with groups which serve to heighten awareness and challenge the stuckness. I also inform participants that it is always their choice as to whether they participate in any structure, and can choose to stop at any time. Individuals who attend have final responsibility for their choices in the group which participants often find most challenging, but ultimately most empowering.
 
Individuals soon begin to share at a more personal level about their concerns and difficulties, and then using a variety of approaches including some from psychodrama and gestalt therapy, and anything else that I can responsibly use, I will facilitate their process which often, but not always, helps them to experience the blocked emotions, gain new awareness, and experience more satisfying ways of being. Besides powerful emotional release, other possible outcomes from attending this workshop are: greater awareness and consciousness, a change in perception of self and others, a richer connection to yourself and others, and a deepening sense of your own humanity. Other potential benefits include greater clarity and direction about current situations where ambivalence predominates, increased self-esteem and feeling more alive by being more genuinely in touch with yourself and others.

Have you ever watched “Whose Line is it anyway?” and thought how do they do that? Comedy improvisation is probably the most fun you can have with your clothes on.It is specifically designed for  people with little or no performing experience and the emphasis will be laughter and fun.It is a great confidence booster and collaborative way of playing with people.We all have the ability to improvise (remember when you were given a present as a child and just played with the box) We will be looking at constructing stories and scenes from suggestions and objects as well as forgetting about judgement and getting it right.

Yoga
Ailon's classes weave together the precision of lyengar yoga, the breath-movement synchronisation of Vinyasa yoga, the "dropping in" to postures found in Scarvelli yoga and the fun and connection of Partner Yoga. He explores these styles in order to find out which ones work best for you. Ailon aims for these classes that participants will discover how a yoga practice can structurally re-align the body, calm and soothe both the mind and the emotions, and allow one to tap into a greater reservoir of lifeforce energy.

Feeling good, but could feel better? What about those people who always seem to be happy in their lives? Wouldn’t it be great to be more like them more often? The key to happiness is to identify and build on our personal strengths, and not to waste too much time working on our weaknesses. However we also need to develop emotional intelligence and mindful awareness, so we do not dwell too much on the past or the uncertainties of the future, and can have more ‘here and now’ choice in our relationships and our life path.

Positive Psychology, based on the latest research, focuses on what makes some people happier and healthier than others, rather than just focussing on what makes us depressed or ill.

The course will focus on finding your sense of meaning and purpose, learning to live in the here and now, letting go into pleasure, developing emotional resilience and finding connection with others. All this and lots of fun too!
