About this Event
NEW MOON: A WOMEN’S EMBODIED JOURNEY
Join us in person for a nurturing experience blending Pilates, Somatics, Gentle Yoga & Sound. This journey is all about connecting with your body and the energy of the new moon, offering a space to relax, restore, and renew. Perfect for all levels, it’s your chance to unwind, move mindfully, and embrace your feminine energy in a supportive atmosphere. Come as you are and let’s flow together!
Through Pilates, Somatic Flow, Gentle Yoga, Meditation & Sound,
we gather beneath the lunar cycle to explore embodiment, stillness,
movement, sensual awareness & deep inner connection.
🌿 Health & Wellbeing Benefits
This immersive experience offers a deeply restorative approach to movement and wellbeing — supporting both the physical body and the nervous system through Pilates, Somatic movement, gentle Yoga, breathwork, meditation, and sound healing.
Pilates helps build core strength, alignment, mobility, and postural support, while Somatic practices encourage deeper body awareness, emotional release, and nervous system regulation through slow, intuitive movement. Gentle Yoga and breathwork help soften muscular tension, increase flexibility, calm the mind, and create space within the body. The sound journey offers an opportunity for deep rest and integration, allowing the body and mind to settle into stillness and restoration.
Together, these practices support grounding, emotional balance, embodied awareness, inner calm, and a greater connection to self — offering a nourishing pause from the fast pace of daily life.

A gentle unfolding across two lunar gatherings
designed to deepen embodiment, presence & inner connection.
Both gatherings unfold beneath the energy of the Gemini Moon — an invitation to move between worlds: mind and body, movement and stillness, inner reflection and outer expression. Symbolised by the celestial twins and ruled by Mercury, Gemini speaks to communication, curiosity, adaptability, and the many layers of our human nature. It reminds us that we are constantly in dialogue within ourselves — between thought and feeling, intellect and intuition, softness and strength.
These two lunar gatherings feel like reflections of one another — mirror points inviting us to soften inward and listen more deeply to the subtle language of the body. Through breath, movement, stillness, and awareness, we create space to quiet the racing mind and reconnect to the body’s innate intelligence and rhythm.
There is also something deeply beautiful about women gathering in this way — softening together, moving together, and holding space for one another through shared presence and openness. Within the container of the practice, a natural gentleness begins to unfold: a remembering of slowness, sensitivity, intuition, and the quiet strength that emerges when women feel safe enough to simply be. The space becomes not only restorative individually, but collectively — nurturing connection, softness, and a deeper sense of belonging within ourselves and each other.
This offering is deeply inspired by my lifelong enquiry into the moving body through years of training in Ballet, Contemporary Dance, and Movement Alchemy. Alongside this, Yoga has been a profoundly grounding and transformative practice for me — opening a stable and embodied pathway into deeper awareness, presence, and connection.
I now feel called to bring together the practices that continue to inform and support my work as a movement and yoga practitioner: Pilates, Somatics, gentle Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama, Philosophy, and Sound. Woven together, these practices offer a gentle yet integral approach to embodiment — cultivating suppleness, grounded strength, nervous system restoration, and a deeper relationship with the wisdom held within the body.
First Gathering
The Inner Landscape Awakens
Mapping sensation, awareness & the body as sacred terrain
A gentle descent inward through breath, movement, and deep listening.
Together we soften the outer layers and begin awakening the inner field — exploring sensation, awareness, intuition, and the subtle language of the body.
An invitation to reconnect with the self through embodied presence, softness, and stillness.
Second Gathering
Alchemy of Body & Spirit
Transforming through breath, movement & inner fire
A deeper exploration into embodied flow and inner transformation.
Here, movement becomes ritual, sensation becomes medicine, and the body becomes a gateway into greater openness, vitality, and presence.
A space to soften, release, restore, and reconnect to the quiet wisdom held within.
Hope to see you there.
