Yoga

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.

Sunday Lunch can be pre-booked between 12 – 2pm every Sunday and offers a choice of two or three courses, main course is served carvery style. Afternoon Tea is also very popular and available to pre-book.

I know the majority of you don’t enjoy ‘Laughter Yoga’ so I’ve devised other ways to encourage a smile.

Aura Yoga with Geri enjoyed a SUP Yoga session at the beautiful lake near Cwmbrân last weekend.

The weather was kind, the air fresh, the water welcoming as we stretched, inverted, balanced , breathed, relaxed and nourished our souls thanks to the expert tuition of Yoga with Kitty.

Of course a visit to the panoramic cafe was a must afterwards. The salads are wonderful and are adorned with edible flowers

There’s only one more scheduled SUP YOGA session at this location scheduled for this season.

Please check out the Watersports Centre online to find out more or to reserve one of the many activities on offer.

I’ve decided to not offer Hatha Yoga on zoom at combined Live class on a monday 6-7pm.

Unfortunately the sound, picture, lighting quality is poor at Plas Mawr Community Centre and I feel I’m not providing a quality yoga experience.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

If you are in credit I will happily refund or you can transfer to an in person class if it’s accessible to you or use in the Aura Yoga & Homoeopathy Shop.

I will continue the meditation class combination 7.15-8.15pm for next week monday, subject to bookings.

Thank you for supporting the classes.🙏🏼🙏🏼

I am happy to announce a return to face-to-face Hatha Yoga classes, however, at a different venue initially.

Everyone already on the register for set days will be contacted soon to check if they require their place as prior booking is part of the new regime, no drop-in, with online advance payment via BACS or Paypal. Some of you are in credit from the winter term before lockdown as we finished 2 weeks earlier than scheduled.

Aura Yoga with Geri will continue via ‘Zoom’ next week and possible on a Monday evening until we can resume at our regular venue on that day but subject to sufficient bookings.

Monday 7th September 2020 7.00-8.00pm
Wednesday 9th September 2020 9.30-11am

Meeting ID and Passcodes will be issued on receipt of payment and for newcomers, completion of a new student questionnaire/signed disclaimer.
