Fundraising for St Luke’s Hospice, in memory of Ellie’s Grandfather, Bill Kirby
In aid of St Luke's Hospice, Ellie’s Grandpa painted Christmas cards depicting Sheffield's streets and companies that were built there! In turn, in his time of need, St Luke's gave him a peaceful room for him to rest in his final week. A beautiful story of charity work that has come full circle.

Ayurvedic Man: Encounters with Indian Medicine @ The Wellcome Collection
Drawn to the exhibition with the promise of a yogic link, the world of Ayurveda seemed less well known. Posing bloodletting charts against anatomical drawings with zodiac symbols in place of arteries, the exhibition made a striking link between spiritual and physical exercises.
Good weather garden yoga, Old Basing
Making the most of the weather, we introduce garden yoga, a more informal setting to compliment our hatha yoga series running on Mondays.

Live Virtual, Youtube & Good Weather Garden Yoga - who said lockdown had to be boring?
With such a mixture of classes, available physically and online at any time to suit you, I hope you’ll be encouraged to carve out some time to take care of yourself and reunite the body and breath!

Introducing Cross House, Bramley
Emerging from a time of supreme busyness, I wanted to take a moment to relish my new teaching space in Bramley - Cross House - the space where, at another teachers’ class, my confidence in realising Yoga Teacher Training was for me blossomed!
More classes added at complete performance (basingstoke and Overton)
With our Sunday morning classes running successfully for two months now, Liam at Complete Performance has suggested we add some evening classes - and we couldn’t be happier!

Complete Performance have introduced a Yoga Only membership (until the end of November 2018) - at £20 per month.

A landmark of peace
Visible from the Chelsea Embankment, London's Peace Pagoda emits a golden glow. Completed in the 1980s, it was built in the aftermath of Hiroshima, one of 80 Peace Pagodas worldwide. In a landscape that is often far from peaceful, it gives Londoners an excuse to take a moment. To think about how they can erect their own internal pagodas.
Bridging Towards Nature
Hidden within the grounds of Grey’s Court, owned by the National Trust, is this Japanese Torii (literally meaning “bird abode”). Simply put, it marks a transition - from the mundane to the sacred.

How did you discover yoga?
A current student of Bristol School of Yoga, I balance working in the Solar Industry with classes and study weekends. Read on to hear more about how I made the decision to move between desk monkey to mat to yoga teacher.
It Takes Guts
With pickled vegetables making a comeback after their post-war slump and kombucha making its way onto the draught taps in London pubs, "good for the gut" bacteria has become more cultured than a tourist with an Art Pass. It got us thinking about yoga poses to compliment the foodie experiments.
