Intermediate Yoga
Led by Julie Potter
This class is suited to those who have been practising for at least 6. My intention for this class is to move our practise forward, explore different avenues and approaches to the traditional postures. We will be aiming to be going deeper into ‘awareness’ and ‘noticing’.
The yoga I teach is an evolution of over 20 years of practice and study, perhaps moving away from ‘external’ evaluation of the postures and moving towards an ‘internal’ sense of the postures, moving away from the more used traditional approach of systemised yoga to a more experiential approach. Whilst looking at traditional Hatha Yoga postures and pranayamas, I will be encouraging fun and freedom within the traditional structure, whilst taking into our awareness fundamental anatomical and functional aspects required by our bodies for maximum wellbeing benefits.
Please bring a blanket, a yoga / Pilates mat, and wear loose comfortable clothing.

Kirtan
Led by Janette Moy
Kirtan is the practice of gathering together to chant universal mantras. It is the Yoga of Sound, the repetition of the mantras allows us to experience a meditative state. The mantras help relax the mind and re-energise the body/mind as well as release stress/ worries. It is uplifting and healing.
Anyone can join in, you do not have to be able to sing to chant, each of us has a unique primal sound to express and all our voices blend together into one sound. You can sit on the floor or a chair if you need support, you can also stand, move or lay down if you want.
Please bring a cushion or blanket rolled up to sit on. You might like to bring a shawl or blanket around you (not essential, just cosy). If you require a chair please arrive early to give time to organise this. Bring water to drink.
I look forward to sharing these medicinal mantras with you.

The repertoire for this performance will include a mix of well know standards and some new songs from Jo’s new album When Winter Turns to Spring which won the Parliamentary awards for best jazz album 2023!
This performance is particularly unique because we have a special quest on saxophone. Jo Fooks has carved a solid reputation on the jazz scene ever since she was discovered by Humphrey Lyttelton whom she toured with for many years.
Jo’s melodic tenor sax playing is often compared to Stan Getz and Zoot Sims. The two Jo’s will be accompanied by the two Alexs. Alex Dankworth needs no introduction and we’re very pleased to have him with us tonight!
‘Jo does not just sing a song, she lives and breathes it; she believes in what she is singing, and that belief is transferred to the musicians around her which, in turn, creates something quite magical’ Simply Jazz Talk
