Workshops & courses in Cheltenham

Online live yoga class

Join us for another of our popular Thai massage workshops! Guaranteed to make you feel energised and relaxed at the same time!
This introductory workshop will include:

• Background to and theory behind this ancient yoga related therapy
• Links and cross over with yoga theory
• Demonstrations and the opportunity for some hands on experience
• Some practical moves to take away and use on friends and family

Ideal for anyone thinking of doing our practitioner training diploma course which we start every Autumn but also an interesting and practical experience for anyone with a casual interest.
The cost is £60 for the day (but £30 of that can be off-set against the cost of the practitioner diploma course).

Take a look at www.thaiyogamassagetrainingschool.com for further information.
Advance booking is essential!

Our location will be at the lovely Cheltenham Holistic Health Centre, Camargue House, 32 Wellington Rd, Cheltenham, GL52 2AG.

The foundation course typically lasts 7 days in total, over several Saturdays and Sundays.  We study different aspects and concepts of ‘viniyoga’ and yoga as a whole. It really is a great way to immerse yourself into the tradition of yoga, its’ history and many different paths. In our regular yoga classes we focus mainly on the posture work whilst referencing aspects of philosophy and we also run the occasional workshop but this course goes beyond that and will enable you to deepen your understanding of yoga and ‘viniyoga’ as a specific approach to hatha yoga. The foundation course is appropriate for anyone who regularly attends group classes but it also prepares you for the yoga teacher training course should that be your next step!

For further information including how to book and costs please contact Chantal or Gareth.

Please contact us to register your interest for the next one due to start in February 2021.

Dates will be confirmed in summer 2020

David Tipper is back in Cheltenham for another of his wonderful sound baths! He will take our sound bath devotees on a voyage of self discovery through the many sounds he created. These are very popular so please book in advance!

Sound work is an excellent method of releasing both physical and emotional tension. To be immersed in relaxing and therapeutic sound allows you to be fully present within yourself and has the capacity to stimulate self-reflection and bring an awareness to your own well-being.

Sometimes when we relax ourselves on the mental level we can be drawn to areas of physical tension in the body that had been previously hidden from our awareness. It is only when we stop that we are often drawn to the imbalances in our system. Through regular sound work this type of therapy can bring continued development to the processing of stress within the bodily system and potentially relieve relating physical symptoms.

Experience the sounds of Nepalese and crystal singing bowls, gong and percussion in the wonderful surroundings of the warm main hall.  Many people return time and time again to absorb the therapeutic sounds that are cerated by David and his wonderful medley of instruments.  This is NOT TO BE MISSED!

Contact Dave Tipper to book and for more information please visit www.nadasoundtherapy.co.uk

Please note although sound is suitable for anyone it is not recommended during the 1st trimester of pregnancy, if you suffer from Audiogenic Epilepsy or any severe mental problems. Sound therapy is not a replacement for conventional medicine and if ever in doubt speak to your doctor first.

Who hasn’t felt stressed out at some period in their life?! If that’s you, you might even suffer on a daily basis. This workshop led by Gareth Williams and Chantal Rafferty will focus on the nature of stress and how we breathe, the link between the two and some practical ways to use yoga to address stress. You’ll take home some practices to work with as and when you need to. There will be a short physical practice too so wear yoga appropriate clothing or bring something to change into.
Chantal and Gareth have been teaching yoga for many years bringing their depth of experience and years of training with senior teachers to offer yoga classes, workshops and retreats in the UK and abroad.
