Winter Wellbeing Course
Join Catherine every Saturday morning for a live session. Each session includes 45 minutes of Yoga, Somatic Movement, or Breathwork, along with wellbeing practices and themed focuses for each week. This is a 6 part course to restore a sense of harmony and balance as we transition into the winter months.
Note:
There is 6 months access to the recordings, so if you missed the start date you can join any time, catch up on the sessions missed and then join the group for the next session.
Get Strong & Resilient for Winter
Are you feeling anxious, overtired, overworked or stressed?
Do you have persistent pain or fatigue that is limiting your life?
Would you like to explore how to enhance your health and wellbeing and restore space, calm and relaxation to your daily life?
.
We explore how to incorporate simple techniques to rewire your system and restore a sense of ease and contentment. We’ll focus on developing your own personal recipe for wellness, focused on discovering a range of techniques you can use any time, any place, that you know will work to bring you back to centre.
Investing in your wellbeing can be the most important decision you ever make. Improving your sense of self-esteem, boosting your happiness and confidence are beneficial throughout the year, but especially during Winter, when a reduced immune system may leave us open to seasonal infections and feeling emotionally down.
Together, we’ll explore science based techniques which you can use at any time or place, to create your own individual recipe for feeling good.
Winter Wellbeing will include
• A science-based combination of theory and practice helps you develop more balance in your life
• Builds confidence and calm when confronted with day-to-day challenges
• Supports you as you create a bespoke range of techniques you can draw upon whenever and wherever you need
• Somatic movement practices to create a sense of grounding, safety and stability
• Mindful and embodied approaches that reliably turn down the volume on your overactive nervous system
• Helps you find balance and build resilience to support a healthy immune system
What to expect:
Each session we will focus on a specific element of wellbeing, with time for information and discussion. This is followed by a full hour of somatic movement and yoga, designed to encourage you to absorb and integrate the focus that week.

Dates & Prices
Please note:
None of these sessions is intended to replace psychotherapy. If you feel triggered, or unusually anxious, or are dealing with acute PTSD, it’s important to have support systems in place. We may move into delicate areas and will do our best to support you, but we cannot take the place of good psychotherapeutic support. If you are looking for a therapist, we may be able to offer suggestions.
Cost
We know that some of you are facing some real cost-dilemmas and we know that sometimes our wellbeing practices are the first to suffer when life gets hard.
We want you to know that we are there for you.
Therefore, this course is offered on a ‘Pay As You Can’ basis.
There is a suggested price, which we ask you to pay, if you have the means. The suggested price is the ‘true cost’ of running the course, and this is £150.
If finances might get in the way of you joining, you can pay what you can afford, and therefore you are still able to join. The minimum fee is £60.
Those of you do have the means, please do feel free to pay more than the suggested price. We want so much to continue to support you for years to come with online events.
About Catherine Annis
Catherine has practiced physical movement in some form since the age of six, when she began ballet and dance. In her early teens, she was introduced to yoga and learned the Indian philosophical concept of “sunyatta”, a meditative technique to empty the mind. Whilst she loved the feeling of moving in yoga, she found the strength of the practice was amplified by the stilling of thought, which dissolved her anxiety and left her with a sense of space and ease.
She subsequently explored many different approaches to yoga until discovering John Stirk, who taught a form inspired by Vanda Scaravelli. In these subtle and profound classes, she found that the connection between breath, mindfulness and embodied movement create a sense of deep inner joy and wellbeing. This connection has been her focus throughout her yoga practice and teaching and is the inspiration behind the creation of Wellbeing, Yoga Way.
