Our beginner course is perfect for those with little or no experience and for regular students wishing to rebuild the foundations of their practise…there’s always something new to learn! In this course you will be supported every step of the way as you learn more about how your body moves and how to work with certain conditions as well as developing a deeper connection to your mind, body and spirit.
What to Expect:
- Fundamental postures (known as asana) & Sun Salutations
- Anatomy & Modifications for conditions
- Meditation – Yoga is an ancient form of meditation. By including simple, accessible mindfulness techniques, often enjoyed lying down, we invite the mind into a less reactive, calmer state.
- Breathwork (known as pranayama) – how we can use simple breath practices to boost mood and re-balance the nervous system
- Relaxation – in our culture of permanent busyness, most of us have forgotten how to relax. We spend time on this incredibly important art.
Yoga for Mental Health 4 Week Course - Sidcup Studio
Mondays 18:30-19:30 2nd, 9th, 16th & 23rd October | £55 | With Tracy Barber
Yoga is a proven approach to alleviating many mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, panic attacks, self-esteem issues and trauma. It is a very accessible path to healing and learning how to deal with life’s challenges.
During this course you will learn about self-regulation which is the ability to gain control over certain behaviours and emotions through yoga postures, breath work and through an understanding of how certain mental health conditions arise.
Week 1 - Self-Regulation, the Nervous System and Stress
In this session you will learn about the mind/body system and the impact stress has on us. You will learn techniques that help you to be aware of changes in how you feel.
Week 2 - Pranayama
It’s all about the breath! This week you will learn how to use the breath to minimise anxiety and ease panic when it arises.
Week 3 - Yoga for Anxiety & low mood
In this session you will learn yoga postures that help to balance emotions and lift your spirit.
Week 4 - Sleep
The most important part of a healthy mind and body is rest – this is what is needed for the body to repair. In this session you will learn an easy yoga sequence that relieves tension so you can sleep better. You will also learn some valuable tips to practice to aid in a good night’s sleep.

“There is nothing so wise as a circle” – Rainer Maria Rilke
Begin your journey of self-realisation as we come together as we are, our defences dropped and masks removed in the safest place where you are free to just be and become.
Women’s circles provide a safe place where every woman is invited to try out something new, maybe speaking up for the first time, acknowledging feelings or just experiencing the sense of connection and belonging with like-minded women.
You are invited to join us on a journey of self-realisation and empowerment as you begin trying out your wings. Together we will respect and honour one another and feel respected and honoured; hear one another and be heard; and see one another and truly feel seen.
Expect meditation and movement, journalling and the usual beautiful connections we make as we join together in this shared space. You will leave illuminated!
This is a not-for-profit event, all contributions go back into the loving care of the space and time nurturing the Circle.

Sound Healing uses sound, music and specialist instruments played in therapeutic ways, combined with deep self-reflection techniques to improve health and wellbeing.
Sound Baths are a powerful experience wherein you are bathed in the sounds & vibrations of crystal bowls, chimes, singing bowls and other instruments that will take you on a healing journey, creating space for healing on multiple levels, which often leads to a deep state of relaxation. You may find yourself taking an inward journey similar to meditation or simply enjoying the beautiful layers of sound around you.
