Join us at The Old Rectory, Houghton for a relaxing and restorative workshop with Karen Hemming, exploring movement, yoga postures and the theme of transitions as we move from summer into autumn.
The session will gently lead into Yoga Nidra – a deeply relaxing guided practice. Activities can be adapted for those who prefer to remain seated, so no previous yoga experience is needed.
📅 Tuesday 8 September
⏰ 10.30am–12.30pm
📍 The Old Rectory, Houghton-le-Spring
💚 FREE – open to everyone
Yoga mats are available if you don't have one, and refreshments will be provided. Just bring yourself and wear comfortable clothes!
