Scaravelli Inspired Yoga Events in June
Treat yourself to yoga - you're worth it!
This Scaravelli inspired yoga approach is gentle, yet demanding. We work deeply, but with intelligence, so that the practice raises our awareness, helping us to make sustainable, healthy and nourishing choices, which will affect us and those closest to us, at all levels – physical, psychological and emotional.
Scaravelli inspired yoga, is particularly helpful for those who are working with postural issues, lower back pain, stiff necks and shoulders and for those who are stressed, and need some space to learn how to deeply relax.
Scaravelli Yoga Classes
Scaravelli Inspired Yoga Workshop
Self Care & CranioSacral Therapy

£30 : attend the workshop
£30 : pre order the edited video
Online via Zoom
During this session, we’ll be exploring what stimulates that delicious feeling of being “yoga stoned” and how we can generate it ourselves, through our own personal approach to practice. Whilst some yoga is all about our experience of movements and muscularity, there's another way to practice which takes us into the deep rhythms and pulses of the fluid body and this is how we’ll approach our final session in the Beyond Asana series.
The central nervous system is bathed in craniosacral fluid (CSF), which surrounds the brain, flows through the spinal canal and down into a pocket within the sacrum. When the fluid is optimally balanced and flowing harmoniously, we feel calm, that all is well with the world and within us.
Usually we visit a therapist who will provide touch and tiny delicate movements to promote harmony within the system. During this class we explore how it’s possible, with sensitivity and attention, to stimulate a harmonious sense of fluid movement and bring ourselves into a sense of balance and ease and quiet.
* Explore how movement can become free, exploratory and reflective of our fluid natures
* Move away from muscularity and powerful movement and dive into our fluid nature
* Tune into the deep rhythms and pulses of your fluid body, particularly your craniosacral fluid (CSF), which bathes the brain, flows through the spinal canal and on down into a pocket within the sacrum
* Find balance and harmony through your fluid system to bring a sense of calm and well-being
* Explore how to invoke a sensitive, delicate attention which can stimulate our own fluid balance, thereby generating a sense of ease and restful quiet
Suitable for anyone who feels there’s more to yoga than shapes and postures. If you’d like to explore what we’re really doing in asana experience yoga practice in more depth, this is for you.
British Wheel of Yoga Workshop
Pelvic Balance
10.00 – 4.00 pm
£40 for BWY members
£50 full price
Down Hatherley Village Hall, Down Hatherley, Gloucestershire, GL2 9LQ
Have you ever wondered why one side of your body is easier to access than the other in your yoga practice? Or why some “hip openers” are more challenging than others?
It’s all related to the balance of your pelvis, and how the web of ligaments, tendons and muscle tissues in this key area work together to support and connect your hips, lower back and legs.
Join Catherine for this practical BWY workshop to explore how yoga can help balance your pelvis and discover:
∗ how fixations in the pelvis can affect our entire body
∗ why not all hips need opening (and why stability is helpful)
∗ the effect of pelvic balance on your sacro-iliac joints
∗ why tucking your tailbone may be helpful – or not!
∗ that pelvic balance goes far beyond pelvic floor exercises
∗ how relaxing your pelvis can help relieve lower back issues
∗ the delicate link between our pelvis and our psyche
Scaravelli Yoga Nidra
June 23rd
Friday
6.00 – 7.15 pm
£15
Online via Zoom
Are you ready to unwind and relax? Do you relish the thought of spending an evening just for you, when you can simply let go?
If you’re tired of doing too much and need some serious chill time, please join us for an evening of spacious yoga and breathing followed by a long luxurious session of yoga nidra.
Yoga nidra translates as “yogic sleep” – it’s a form of guided meditation, where you rest and float in the space just before sleep, aware of everything, yet blissfully detached. Leave feeling calm, refreshed and revitalised.
Suitable for all levels and particularly helpful for those working with stress related conditions and those who would like to improve their sleep.
The unique Zoom link for this yoga nidra will be sent out approximately one hour before the scheduled start.
Yoga Retreat Weekend
Treat Yourself To A Perfect Yoga Retreat
June 30 - July 2
Friday - Sunday
from £315
Gayles Retreat Centre, Friston, Eastbourne, East Sussex
This Sussex yoga retreat at Gayles is one of my favourite retreat venues. It's set in ten acres of prime Sussex land adjacent to the Seven Sisters Country Park (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), The National Trust Crowlink Estate and Friston Forest. The surrounding countryside is extraordinarily beautiful, and there are excellent walking opportunities all around.
Communal Spaces
With its open fire, high ceiling and refreshing artworks, The Stables is a beautifully converted 1930s stable which provides a warm and practical area for eating, chatting and relaxing. The ground level has an open-plan kitchen and dining room with under-floor heating. Immediately outside there is a large, decked, seated eating area which is wonderful for informal meals on warm sunny days.
We are free to wander through the sensitively managed estate, and encouraged to make use of the private hard surface tennis court and even the open air swimming pool during summertime!
Shared Accommodation
All indoor accommodation is in comfortable dormitories or in the main house. The accommodation, studio and eating areas are situated close together around thoughtfully maintained gardens. The gentle meadows offer stunning panoramic views and allow space between activities to wander and reflect. There are two dormitories, ‘The Studio’ and ‘The Playroom’, which offer comfortable and spacious accommodation for up to seventeen people.
All indoor accommodation is equipped with toilets, showers and washing areas, as well as hot drink making facilities. There are good quality, sturdy single and bunk beds with individual storage drawers. Duvets, pillows, linen and towels are provided.
Single / Twin Rooms
In the main house, there is also one double room (suitable for a single) and one twin which is suitable for a couple, or two friends. Please note that if you book the twin room to share with a friend, there is one double bed and one double sofa bed.
Camping
If you choose to camp on this Sussex yoga retreat, you can either bring your own tent or use the tents provided by the venue. Campers will be provided with pillows and towels but will need to supply their own bedding and sleeping mats. Campers have their own dedicated bathroom and the much loved "loo with a view".
Food
Good quality, locally sourced, tasty and nourishing food is served in the relaxed atmosphere of the beautifully converted dining room. If the weather is sunny there is the option of eating out in the open on the terrace. Food is vegetarian and organic and much of it is grown in the centre's own vegetable garden. It's a highlight of our stay at Gayles.
