This course is available to women and their babies who have had their 6 week postnatal checkup and are given the go -ahead to begin gentle exercise. You can, of course, come along without your baby if you have someone to look after them.
Pilates is great for strengthening your core and helping to regain your pre-pregnancy abdominal strength. Most importantly, we will be focussing on strengthening the pelvic floor and lower abdominals. You will work up slowly and safely.
It is also good for your mental health and general well-being. An opportunity to leave the house with or without your baby and meet other women in the same situation.
Sometimes you will get little done, especially if babies need feeding, but you will still be able to gain knowledge of the moves and practice later at home. It is also a great opportunity to bond with your baby and make connections with other new mums. Often, the postnatal classes are a woman’s first insight into this practice.
Come and celebrate the emergence of spring with us, for our spring equinox Cosmic Dancehall. As spring bursts through, and we celebrate the balance of day and night, before daylight takes over into the expanding energy of summer, we'll be busting out some moves on the dancefloor. No special moves or choreography required for this, just an openness to move your body in a way that feels good.
Led on a musical journey by our musical selector, Paul Darking, and guided into the dance by Chiraswa, there'll be moments of facilitation to start and finish the practice. There'll also be lots of freedom to move, dance, stretch, connect, breathe, rest and listen together, in a safe, inclusive, uplifting and joyous space.

Join us for our first Spiritual Cinema event, at the end of March. These events will be film screenings, with time for socialising, sharing and discussion for those inclined. Our first screening will be 'The eternal song'
The Eternal Song is a cinematic journey through timeless lands and their Indigenous cultures. Voices from around the world and across generations call us to witness the deep, ongoing scars of colonization on lands and peoples, and the healing that comes through ancestral wisdom. Entrusted with medicine stories, we grapple with colonial legacies, intergenerational trauma, our own fragmentation and culture of separation.
The film reveals how modernity severs our connection to nature, each other, and the ancestral realm, while feeding us empty promises of salvation, unlimited consumption and economic growth, and individual happiness. As we are drawn into the intricate web of kinship and honoring the living presence of Mother Earth, we awaken a remembrance. A sacred dance comes to life and we begin to hear the eternal song of Life itself, calling us back to belonging.
