A Soulful Space That Feels Like A Safe Sanctuary

Created To Take You In, Give You A Great Big Hug & Make You Feel Like Part Of The Family

Book Class

Well if there was ever a way to spend a Sunday soulfully, that was most definitely it:

Utilising the energies of the New Moon, we breathed our way to stillness, before flowing into creativity. Followed up with a nourishing light lunch before weaving our way into creativity. And just look at those creations!

The backdrop of a beautiful setting, glorious weather, nature blooming all around us, and the birds singing couldn’t have helped to bring our vision to life anymore than it did!

Just some of the wonderful feedback:
“ I feel so zen.”
“ This really was the most perfect way to spend the day.”
“I have loved every minute.”
“I can’t believe I’ve created something so beautiful.”

Thank you to those who joined us. We hope you’ve left with those shoulders a little lower, breath a little fuller, mind a little more still and heart and soul a little more topped up 🧡

“Like the blossoming flowers in April, let your spirit unfurl and embrace the new beginnings.”

April is definitely one of my favourite months, the promise of hope, those lighter, brighter days, and it’s my birthday month too 😀

And this year we have Easter in there, as well as aaalll the exciting things happening in to the Studio. (Be sure to >>> across to the last slide to see what’s happening).

We look forward to seeing you on the mat, and flowing our way into spring with you all.

What’s the thing/s you’re looking forward to the most this month?

#helloapril #aprilyoga #yogainburton #pilatesinburton #yogainspring

We often hear that this is a great activity for children, but actually, it’s the also most perfect one for adults to foster presence, gratitude and inner space.

Can you weave this into your day over the next week? Even 2 minutes will have a significant effects.

You could even S A V E this for the days when you can’t get out, but would appreciate those few mindful moments.

Some benefits of turning to nature to support our wellbeing:
✨It allows us to press pause on a busy life or mind for even a few moments. This then helps us to re-enter with much more intention and awareness.
✨It can help us to connect more with feelings within our body.
✨ It brings us beautifully into the present moment.
✨ It can evoke feelings of gratitude.
✨It can be soothing for our nervous system.

This really is my favourite time of year, I’d love to hear, is it yours too? Or do you have a different favourite season?

#springactivity #mindfulnessforadults #yogainburton #mindfulactivity

Do you love mindful moments of movement, colour, flowers, and trying out new techniques?

Then the wonderful Karen from @millie.moth and I would love to invite you to join us for a relaxing morning of wellness and creativity at The Gasworks in Sudbury, for a collaborative workshop featuring Pilates and Alcohol Inks

We will begin the day with an energising and uplifting Pilates practise, and after some well earned refreshments, Millie Moth will then guide you through 2 hours of alcohol ink techniques, where you will use alcohol ink-based brush pens with splashes of neat alcohol on Yupo paper - you’ll get to explore a palette of colours and immerse yourself in this captivating and mindful process.

This workshop suits all skill levels so unwind and enjoy yourself in a warm and supportive environment. We provide all the materials you need, along with light refreshments, which are all included in the price. Plus, you’ll have the chance to browse the wonderful things on offer nearby too. The Gasworks itself is surrounded by a well managed woodland which is delightful for a stroll around. Pop 2 minutes up the lane and you’ll arrive at Sudbury Courtyard, where there’s a fabulous cafe (perfect for a spot of lunch!), as well as gorgeous independent shops and studios in historic buildings for you to browse. Beautiful Sudbury Hall is just beyond this, and the village of Sudbury is to the other side of the Gasworks, so there’s plenty to do around the area to make it a wonderful day out too!

Happy Spring Equinox everyone ☀️🌸🙏

Ahhh! The promise of lighter, brighter days. The air is filled with hope and new beginnings, and all around us nature is beginning to emerge from winter, shaking off the last of hibernation and beginning to bloom into life. And so, this true New Year, is the time we are likely feeling called to do the same.

So to celebrate, here is a little 2 minute movement that can be brought into your day beautifully. Incorporating some kind of movement is a great little daily ritual to honour this new season and to step yourself into the energy and flow of it.

Benefits of this 2 minute movement include:
✨ It can be done anywhere, whenever you need it, and helps to ease out any stiffness and stagnant energy in the body and mind.
✨ We shake off any negativity that’s not serving us.
✨ We open ourselves up beautifully and reset ourselves to then step back into our day.
✨ It’s the perfect way to press pause on our day and to connect with ourselves. Often then helping how we go about the rest of our day!

You may even wish to take a few moments at the end to create a little intention to take into the rest of your day with you.

Don’t forget to hit S A V E to be able to come back if at the time when you need it the most.

Here’s to new beginnings, and to honouring ourselves and stepping into being able to shine our light brightly.

Are you planning on celebrating the Spring Equinox? I’d love to hear your plans …

Blessings to you all 🌺

The sun shone beautifully for us on our Awaken Day Retreat yesterday and how grateful we all were.

We began our day releasing any limiting beliefs that do not serve us, to allow us to create space for own potentiality. To then spend the afternoon connecting to our own rebirth as we enter this new season.

We had meditations in the woods, vinyasa flow, yin yoga, yoga nidra, journaling, visualisations, cake and art, and not forgetting yummy and nutritious food!

What a truly wonderful day.

If you too are feeling called to take that sacred pause before stepping out of winter and into spring, here are a couple of journaling prompts to help. Inspired and taken from the book Sacred Seasons, by @kirsty_gallagher_ :
✨ Where are you ready for new beginnings in your life?
✨ What do you now want to create, grow and bring to life?

“Weave and breathe”, even just saying this calms my mind and body, let alone doing it 😃

The last time Katherine and I collaborated it made the most wonderful Sunday afternoon, with the most beautiful feedback (swipe to take a look.) So i’ve been super excited to share our spin on our second workshop together.

This one is more focused on energy, movement and creativity to step into Spring with, and our hope is that we can do most (or maybe even all) of this outdoors surrounded by countryside and nature (if the great British weather allows 🤞)

Head over to the link in my bio for more details or to book, or check it out on your Glofox App.

Thanks @homby.flow_state for the inspiration from our “Get to Know Adèle” 😉

We’d love to know some of your answers too… Are you like Valeria, and a big dreamer? “Why have 1 when you can have 4?” love this! 😁

You’ll find Valeria in the studio ready to welcome you for Breathe and Flow every Monday, as well as her wonderful offerings of workshops, and her holistic therapies too!

#yogastudioburton #pilatesinburton #gettoknowusbetter

Say 👋 to Valeria if you haven’t already!
She’s such a beautiful part of our soulful Sanctuary family….

For we aren’t just a Yoga Studio!

Because of a wonderful partnership with Valeria it means there’s also an offering of holistic therapies.
Valeria offers a whole range of tools within her sessions, and gives you the opportunity to meet with her to discuss your needs first, as well as experience some of her offerings.

What Valeria doesn’t know about the energetic body, and really connecting to your deepest true self isn’t worth knowing. She has a wealth of information she shares so beautifully, oodles of passion to inspire everybody to take the next steps on their own journey, as well as the worlds biggest heart to help you feel supported too.

You’ll be able to access Valeria’s sessions very soon via the app. (She doesn’t do a one size fits all approach, she beautiful crafts her sessions to cater for exactly what each person needs, more to come on that soon).

But… exciting news. She has now released some absolutely beautiful offerings for workshops over the coming month. We’re talking Reiki, Sound Healing alongside restorative, as well as Chakra work too. So be sure to go and check them out on the app, under workshops.

You can also find out more about Valeria, via her website:

“When we are gentle with ourselves, we’re honouring our true selves, not the self image we’ve created of ourselves.”

Our Self Love Sunday workshop yesterday, as well as fitting in some laughter, goodies, downtime and face masks…. Ahhh what a way to spend a Sunday! Also looked at how we care for ourselves on a deeper level; Our energetic body. From breath work, to perspective and self talk, or acknowledgement and awareness of our emotions.

So let this be your invitation to consider your own acts of self love:
💫 Does the idea of self love bring about those cringey vibes, or is it something that feels important to you? This will highlight your relationship a little more with it.
💫 How do you view self love? Is it something you do every so often (perhaps when you feel like you’re heading towards burn out) or on more of a daily basis?
💫 Is there anything you’d like to implement more of that you don’t currently do?

Sending love,

🧡

If you’re anything like me, mornings can feel quite a rush.

But there’s also nothing worse than taking your aches and niggles into the day with you!

So Adèle has this 2 minute stretch flow that’s perfect for starting the day with some TLC for yourself, without needing to find heaps of extra time.

Take with 5 grounding breaths to begin, and remain connected to your breath throughout.

Benefits of a morning stretch:
💫 It can help lift your mood for the day ahead.
💫 It’s a beautiful time to create an intention for how you wish to move through your day.
💫 It helps ease out any niggles you may be holding in the body
💫 It can feel really soothing for the mind
💫 It gives you an opportunity to connect with yourself and your inner world before stepping into your day.

Enjoy 🧡

Thank you for being here 💫

The end of this makes me cry happy tears every single time! 💖🙏

Throwback to this time last week… (Excuse the mess behind us), but a little behind the scenes of us coming together in our space to bring this vision to life and create a sanctuary for you all.
This day will remain engraved in my heart forever.
Valeria smudged the room, before taking us into the most beautiful guided meditation and prayer (of which is now shared on the wall as our intention for our space and everyone who enters it).
We laughed together, cried together and visualised together.
I’ve always said Soulful Sanctuary has been created with love, and from the soul. Last Saturday was every bit of this, so I hope you enjoy watching a little snippet of that too.
Our very own Soulful Sanctuary family taking shape.

From our open hearts to all of yours, Thank You 🫶

“Love isn’t just something we give to others; It’s the way we meet ourselves with kindness, patience and compassion.” (I saw @yogini__lou share this on a post and thought it was so true and beautiful.)

This week’s practises on the mat have very much been around the theme of love, and opening our heart space, physically and emotionally. Not just because it’s Valentines, but also because as we open the doors of Soulful Sanctuary, we want to be able to spread some love back to the community.
One of our sayings here is “Love Soulfully.” But we know that in order to receive love, we have to have the space to feel it within ourselves, FOR ourselves.

So on this day, how are you showing up for yourself? How can you offer yourself that extra bit of love?

If you haven’t already seen it too, I’m running a self love workshop in March; A truly beautiful afternoon to spend with yourself, for yourself.

This will of course evolve and expand as we go. But for now…

Which one is your favourite?

Is there anything you’d like to see that’s not on there, or see more of/at different times?

We’d love to hear your thoughts…. Pop them below 🫶

Meet the team!

I’m thrilled to be working alongside @justfollowyourjoy to help bring this space and vision to life. You will find Valeria available most days at the studio to be able to offer her various therapy sessions to you all (be sure to give her a follow for more information), as well as flowing with you all for a practice on a Monday morning. She has many exciting ideas to bring to the space around her holistic offerings in the form of workshops, so check out the app regularly to find out more.

This couldn’t have been possible without the amazing support of @adeleandyoga either. She’s been my sounding board and a great source of inspiration too. I’m absolutely blessed to be able to offer you all Adèle’s wonderful practises through her classes and workshop and am thrilled to have her on board.

We are all so excited to welcome you all into this space that we have created for you.

With love 💫

Client Stories

The quality of teaching is amazing, very personal and thoughtful. I've benefited so much from the classes. The surroundings are calm and a lovely sanctuary in a busy day.

Kate M.

For years, I didn't think yoga would be for me. But after getting some running injuries, I started working with Emma and it has been a nourishing experience ever since.

Whether you're interested in yoga for mindfulness or physical wellbeing, Emma creates a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment. Your mat is your space, to find solace within yourself.

No two sessions are the same with Emma, but what remains consistent are the conditions to enjoy your practice, to find peace or to work on any form of physical or emotional compassion for yourself. Now, I can't imagine not doing yoga. And I have Emma to thank for starting for me on that journey.

Neil R.

So pleased to hear about Soulful Sanctuary opening in Burton.

What a truly wonderful studio... Whilst not huge you truly have a sense of calm on entering and are greeted with such sincerity by the staff.

I have tried numerous classes which are catered for all abilities..."do as much as you feel comfortable with" is the message you receive.

I attended a 'self love' workshop recently led by Emma... From entering the studio to the end of the day I can only describe as magical...From the personal touches or roses and gift bags, to the nibbles, smoothies and a variety of yoga and breathing techniques...I left feeling amazing.

What else can I say...This studio and staff arrived just at the right time for me.
