"I liked the colour readings using colour cards but it was all great." "I thought it was going to tell me what clothes I should wear to suit me. It was so much more than that. I liked finding out how colour can affect moods and feelings and how changing the colour can change your mood and feeling." "I liked interacting with the others in the group and finding out about the energy of different colours." "I was fascinated to learn some of the interesting facts about what colour is." 100% of participants thought it was enjoyable and good value for money. It was at least as good and in some cases better that anticipated. Everybody loved the colourful food in the buffet lunch.

Laughter Workshop
Great for relieving stress - lowers the level of
cortisol which is high when stressed, preventing the body from carrying
out its normal functions.
A
laughter workshop can be challenging if you're not used to it. It can
pysically make your tummy and face muscles ache and toned. It can be
very tiring as you burn up more energy than you are used to and as your
immune system is stimulated and a detox starts to take place. It can
be challenging to the psyche as you stretch your comfort zone and
interact with others in a so far unusal way.
Suitable for all age groups.

Simply a feast of yoga!
There will be time to anatomise some of the more common postures to help deepen practice.
We will look at alternative postures for development and counter poses for balance.
There will also be time for relaxation (savasana), breathing (pranayama), and some mind quieting meditation.
For those who like more action there will also be an interlude of some
flow yoga that can open up a whole new stimulating experience!

Cost: £10 - (or two units for card block payers)
It's known
as the quiet practice - with postures adopted for longer periods while
you relax more and breath with sensitivity - this brings a more
effective stretch especially of the soft connective tissue and can be
beneficial for any yoga posture development.
Yin yoga is not a restorative style and we do intend to stress the body
a little to improve efficiency but it is diverse enough to suit most
anatomies and there are posture variations to help the less flexible or
prepare you for more challening poses.
The style requires less energy so popular with those with low energy levels.
The day is mostly practicle with an early gentle flow leading to deeper
practice in the afternoon and relaxation and meditation to close -
orbiting energy in the next w'shop.
