Thank you!
I’m so grateful for all my wonderful Christmas gifts from my yoga family.
Each and every one of you, phenomenal souls, are amazing and my life is richer for you all.
Julieanne has excelled herself again this year with such thoughtful, positively brilliant gifts.
I was surprised and delighted to be treated to my Christmas meal at our celebration at The Friendly Fox, which was delicious. Great company, food, drink and entertainment.
Then at class more surprises – a bag full of presents to open during the session. I love them all and am excited to use the skating items in particular. I will take some action shots to share with you.
Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, especially of heart.
Once upon a time I bought every Yoga with Geri attendee a gift but we’ve expanded so much that I now use a random selection option for 2 students from each class to receive an Aura Yoga & Homoeopathy voucher. To those who received one I hope you really enjoy spending it. It could be your turn next to those who haven’t received one this time.
Enjoy the festive holidays and please remember to activate your 1 Minute Movement routines! I look forward to seeing, and sharing the photos to add to our Yoga Anytime Anyplace Anywhere album.
Yuletide Blessings
Yuletide Blessings to one and all.
I’m eternally grateful to each and everyone of you who attended classes, events and clinic.
Thank you all for yet another amazing Aura Yoga with Geri and Aura Homoeopathy Clinic year.
⭐️Gold stars 🌟 awarded to you all. ✨

St Martin’s Road, Caerphilly, CF83 2WW
Tuesday 8.30am – 7.00pm from 12 September 2023.
Homoeopathy is a complementary system of medicine which involves treating the individual with highly diluted substances, mainly in tablet form, derived from plants, minerals, animals and other naturally occuring substances. The aim of this treatment is to trigger the body’s own natural system of healing.
If this is your first time attending a homoeopathic consult, you can learn more about what to expect from a consult.

Silver Jubilee – 25 years and counting
We all had so much fun in the sun at Rest Bay, Porthcawl, to celebrate the occasion of Aurayoga with Geri’s Silver Jubilee..
16 of us for Yoga on the Beach
A few less for a Sea Swim
All of us walked 13k+ steps
Enjoyed a delicious lunch at Beales Chip Shop
Ice cream, coffee, hot chocolate as we walked back to Rest Bay.
I consider myself richly blessed and am so grateful to you all for being part of the journey.
Thank you to those who attended the celebrations. I think everyone enjoyed immensely as we ended up staying all day! Plus the smiles and shenanigans are plain to see on these photos.
They say ‘your vibe attracts your tribe’ and this is certainly true of our Aura Yoga with Geri community.
My yogi tea quote today:
“Love is life. Life is love”
I certainly feel the love.
Thank you for all your messages, cards, gifts, lunch and sweet treats.
I thought I’d share a few of the messages with you:
`I have not known you very long but enjoy your classes and the warmth you create… in life, love and emotion. Thank you for sharing your joy.`
‘Congratulations – what a huge achievement, it demonstrates how successful you are. I have only been enjoying your yoga classes for a few weeks but can see why it has been running for so long. Thank you and well done.`
`Big congratulations Ger, what an amazing achievement. I’m so happy that I’ve joined your Yoga Family and am absolutely loving it! You are a beautiful person both inside and out and this shines through. Thank you for welcoming me.`
`Thanks for the last 18 months of classes. I’ve really enjoyed your friendly teaching style and warm, welcoming manner. Also I love the friendships that the classes engender. Thank you.`
`Congratulations I have only been attending a short time but really enjoy and look forward to class.`
`I am so glad I found Geri’s yoga class and wish I had found it years ago. I always feel uplifted after class, it’s such an enjoyable experience, we laugh and chat as well as do yoga. Congratulations on 25 years. You are truly an inspiration.`
`I’ve been coming to yoga for many years but Geri’s class is certainly the best. She is very mindful of anyone’s limitations and will suggest alternatives to enable us to stay safe. I enjoy the comaraderie of the others so much, it is a very enjoyable experience.`
We hope to revisit Rest Bay in January for more of the same.

Aura Yoga with Geri at the Manor, Llancaiach Fawr
I’m so excited to be hosting monthly Menopause Yoga workshops, open to all stages of menopause and a variety of other Well-being workshops at this historical ancient venue.
The original Llancaiach Fawr Manor house was built in 1550 and is said to be haunted. Guided tours of the Manor and Ghost Tours are available to book. I highly recommend both as you are greeted by costumed interpreters and are transported back in time to the early 1600 hundreds and the rein of King Charles I.
There is also dining available in the Lounge or Conservatory depending on availability with stunning views of the Welsh countryside. The Cafe is open from 10am – 4pm with hot meals served until 2pm. The Lunch Menu includes freshly made sandwiches, jacket potatoes, homemade cakes and a variety of hot meals.

Aura Yoga with Geri – Welsh Government Covid Guidelines 2021-22
I am really looking forward to restarting our yoga sessions both at Plas Mawr and at Studio 54.
However, we are bound by The Welsh Government Guidance on COVID-19, which came in to effect from 26 December.
The Guidance says:
Keep Wales safe:
-
- get both jabs and when invited, get your booster
- limit your contacts
- outdoors is safer than indoors
- do a lateral flow test before seeing others
- if you have symptoms, self-isolate and book a PCR test
- wear a face covering
From 26 December
- up to 50 outdoor and 30 indoor spectators can attend community sports events
- 2 metre social distancing will be required in offices and all public premises
- maximum of six people can meet in public premises
- licenced premises will need to take additional reasonable measures to protect customers and staff
- a maximum of 30 people can attend indoor events and a maximum of 50 people at outdoor events
- people attending weddings or civil partnership receptions or wakes should take a lateral flow test before attending.
- nightclubs will close
As our venues can only hold less than 30, we are ok to go ahead with our yoga classes, and I am very much looking forward to them restarting and seeing you all again.
As always, please practise caution, if you are feeling unwell, it is always safer to stay home.
