Ever stepped into a Vinyasa or an Ashtanga class and wondered what was actually supposed to be happening when the teacher says ‘vinyasa’?
Ever wondered how you’ll ever feel good doing a Chaturanga? Or what the hell a Chaturanga is even supposed to be?
Ever wondered how people float to their forward fold so effortlessly? And how do you get your foot between your hands in one step?
Each month we open our doors to welcome young people with learning disabilities, PMLD and/or autism, with their families and carers for some creative sessions.
This time it’s fun, free and winter inspired!

Nestled in an intimate cosy studio, Anna invites you to slow down and rediscover the beauty of the present moment. In the company of kindred spirits, embark on a journey to find solace in the stillness of the season and nourish both body and mind.

A 5Rhythms® dance workshop on New Year's Day, exploring how we navigate uncharted territory and unexpected change.
- The start of a new year often brings a sense of possibility and the desire for fresh beginnings, as well as for releasing old ways of doing things.
- Venturing into the unknown can raise mixed feelings, and call previously hidden parts of ourselves to the surface.
- This workshop will be a supportive space to explore how we adapt to unexpected situations, and to cultivate openness to new experiences.
5Rhythms® movement class, followed by drum, voice and dance jam.
A chance to meet old friends and new. Come and dance, share food together, and enjoy a great performance.
This will be a day in 3 parts - come to the whole day, or drop in at the time that suits you. Admission is pay-what-you-can (so, literally, if you’re skint you can come for nothing; if money’s not a problem for you right now, then please be generous).
