Gentle January

About the workshop

Join us this January at the Yoga Garden for a four-week winter rest series designed to embrace the season of sleep—a time to rest, reflect, and reconnect with your inner world. Set in the beautifully biodiverse Knepp Estate, this course offers a unique opportunity to ground yourself in the healing rhythms of nature and attune to the essential phase of restoration. While society urges us toward ambitious resolutions and bold beginnings, this series offers a softer approach, inviting you to start the year with a single guiding word: Gentle. Instead of reaching for sky-high ambitions or lofty goals, we’ll slow to meet the quiet energy of the season with trust in its natural pace. Through slow, somatic practice, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Sound Therapy we’ll develop a sensory presence within the body, to gently ease into the new year with kindness and self-compassion. Guided by the wisdom of the hibernating Bear, we’ll explore themes of protection, self-awareness, and renewal, connecting with the roots of what sustains us—our essential resources, boundaries, and the care we need most. We will begin on Wednesday, 8th January, and meet at the same time each week to nest, rest, and nourish. To set the tone for our journey together, you will receive a resource workbook with audio attunements and rest practices in the first week of January. These practices are yours to keep: simple supportive tools to keep coming back to as you move through the curve of the year. Join us for this unique, restorative journey—an opportunity to hibernate with intention, embrace the season of stillness, and enter the new year with a spirit of gentle self-care. What to Expect Each week we will draw a combination of healing modalities, Somatic movement, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Sound Therapy, supported by wild herbs or Cacao’s medicine. These practices will guide you to a place of blissful release and self-regulation, gently supporting your journey into the year. 4 Weeks, 4 In-person sessions and an Online Portal of rituals and resources you can do in your own time, to honour your flow. £111 (Early Bird £98 until 8th Dec).
