Hi everyone,
December can be sooo busy, can’t it? The nights draw in early, there’s shopping and socialising, and before you know it, we’re into next year…. The parties and preparations are exciting, but demanding, leaving us little time or space for inner quiet, personal reflection, or rest. Restore the balance, and dedicate one night in December to yourself. Join us on the last Friday before Christmas for a blissful evening of total chill time in a yoga nidra workshop and leave feeling restored and ready for the festivities.
As some of you already know, Triyoga moved from its Primrose Hill building to a brand new home in Camden on Thursday 11th December. It’s a lovely space, and the move is really exciting and inspiring, so please come along and help me settle in by joining me there for one of my regular classes. I hope the new building will provide an equally nurturing and supportive home for our yoga family in the years to come.
Yoga Nidra for Christmas – the art of yogic sleep
19th December Friday 7.45-9.30pm
Triyoga ~ Camden, 57 Jamestown Road, London NW1
Join me at the new Triyoga venue in Camden on the last Friday before Christmas to chill out and unwind in preparation for the celebrations.
After a busy year, we’ll practice some simple asanas focusing on breath and gravity, allowing the practice to gradually seep in, dissolving tension and moving us to a state of deep relaxation and quiet. Finally, enjoy a long session of yoga nidra – a form of guided resting meditation, where you float in the space just before sleep, aware of everything, yet blissfully detached. Leave feeling calm, totally rested and refreshed – ready for the festivities ahead. Suitable for all levels and particularly helpful for those working with stress related conditions and those who would like to improve their sleep.

YOGA RETREAT
Yoga in South India
4-12th February
Cherai Beach, Kerala, Southern India
Do you need to escape the English winter?
Then join me in exotic Kerala for a winter retreat, 4-12th February. We stay at Cherai Beach, near to the trading port of Cochin, just behind the sea, and backing onto the Keralan backwaters. Spend long days relaxing and letting go in the South Indian heat and sample the wonderful range of Keralan cuisine.
There will be two generous yoga sessions each day, with plenty of time to explore the local area, or experience an Ayurvedic treatment in the spa. Accommodation is in air conditioned villas, with ensuite bathrooms, complete with a fridge and private verandah.
Prices from £748 pp sharing. Limited singles are available. If you’d like to make the most of your trip to India, join us a few days earlier to explore the temples and culture of Tamil Nadu 1-4 February.

Self Practice
Why practice at home?
Of course it’s easier to rely on a teacher to talk you through each position, but developing your own personal practice has many far reaching benefits:
• It helps you to listen and tune in to yourself, to notice when you are tired, or tense, so that you can take action before you get tetchy with your partner, children, or friends
• Regular practice can help you break free from old patterns of movement and behaviour which may no longer serve you
• Most surprisingly, spending a few minutes each day focusing on quiet, mindful movement helps you create a very real sense of more space and time in your life.
Enjoy your week, and I look forward to seeing you very soon.
Much love,
Catherine
