Woodland Yoga and Relaxation

Yoga has many benefits including increased flexibility, building stronger muscles and healthy joints, and even improving your posture. Yoga exercises can increase your serotonin levels which sets the body’s internal clock and regulates metabolism. This effect has been found to be boosted by moving outdoors, so yoga in the forest can have double the benefits for you! The forest provides an ideal setting for slower-paced exercises like yoga and relaxation.

This year we will be planting seeds of intentions, using Yoga Asana (postures) to gently open our hearts to the seasonal year ahead as we set Intentions and begin to grow what we want to bring into our lives.
We will share homemade vegetarian dishes around the open fire gather together to connect and to simply rest and be. There is also a seasonal themed forest nature craft activity, no crafty skills needed, all activities on the day are completely optional. You can show up and grab a tea and a hammock if that's all you need that day.

Every Body welcome! We would love for our yoga and relaxation to be as inclusive and accessible as possible, please do make us aware of any conditions or injuries beforehand to support this.
As part of the experience you will have time to relax round the fire, swing in a hammock or just taking in the natural beauty of your surroundings, there will also be opportunities for crafts and nature connection.

All yoga equipment is provided including blankets, but please bring a water bottle and wear comfortable clothing with layers that can be removed and added as needed. Our Forest yoga is suitable for all levels but please let us know if you have any health concerns so that Roz can keep your body safe and adapt the poses as needed. We create an inclusive, safe space bringing yoga to every body.

The sessions will take place in the beautiful wood across the road at Maple Farm Kelsale, Follow the signs for Maple Farm then enter the car park. Drive through the car park towards the orchard and parking is on the right hand side, this is also the meeting point.

I am a Hatha and Yin Yoga teacher, I trained at TKYoga in Framlingham and I am accredited through Yoga Alliance International. I have always practiced and loved yoga and I feel blessed to now be able to share it with others.

I am blessed to be able to join together my love of the outdoors and yoga through Sandie’s wonderful forest school.

Our ‘Yoga in the Woods’ gatherings are something I really look forward to. This year each session will focus on one chakra so that by the end of the 7 months we will have covered all 7 main chakras. I would suggest wearing layers to keep comfortable. All other yoga equipment is provided including blankets. Our forest yoga is suitable for all levels. Please do let me know if you have any health concerns so that I can keep your body safe and adapt the poses as needed. We create an inclusive, safe space bringing yoga to every body.
