I hope this email finds you and your family well.

Before 2021 arrives, I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU! 



This year, like for most people, was tough.  I had many moments of not knowing how I could continue teaching and the move online was a risky one.  I am so grateful to those of you who embraced it, even when the technology seemed daunting and more online time an effort.  I really want to thank you for supporting me and my business, for the emails of encouragement, the extra donations and for sharing what I do with others.   I really want to continue supporting you and your wellbeing as we move into the New Year so please keep sharing the love 💕 
 If you haven't yet signed up for the Online Candlelit Yoga Event, now is the time! I've extended the event till the 4th January 2021 giving you more time to enjoy it.   The event includes a gentle, nourishing and nurturing yoga session in a beautiful candlelit setting with soothing music and an immersive relaxing sound bath with crystal singing bowls, voice and rainstick. 

You can sign up using the following link:

Online Candlelit Yoga Event

The sessions are pre-recorded so you can experience them at a convenient time for you and you can also have the chance to repeat the sessions as many times as you like into the New Year.  You do not need a PayPal account to sign-up, you can use a credit or debit card but if you prefer to pay me directly then please get in contact.  

I would LOVE to hear your feedback on this event to help me in the future so please let me know how you get on.

Whilst I'm taking some quiet time before the New Year, my mind is busy working and planning so if you have any ideas you'd like to share with me or if there is anything you would like to see more of in our up and coming sessions please let me know.

Oh I almost forgot!!! Check out Page 7 😊  https://www.ghp-news.com/issues/fitness-and-nutrition-awards-2020/

Peace and blessings to you and wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year

This year marks our 12th year in raising money and supporting local charities through our Charity Yoga by Candlelight events.  

​Due to the government restrictions this year we are unable to do this in person but I have worked really hard to put together this very special online event and I'm excited to share it with you.

With a little Christmas magic ✨ I will guide you through a very gentle, nourishing and nurturing yoga session in a beautiful candlelit setting before immersing you in a relaxing sound bath with crystal singing bowls, voice and rainstick.

After you sign up you will have access to these sessions up until New Years Eve, so you will be able to experience them at a convenient time for you and you will also have the chance to repeat the sessions as many times as you like thoughout the festive period.

We are supporting REACH charity though these sessions.  REACH is a charity based in Brentwood in Essex and  specialises in equine assisted therapy.  REACH provide high quality assessment and rehabilitation programmes, using trained horses, to give a treatment strategy for adults and children suffering with physical, mental, social and/or learning disabilities.  I have first hand experience of the wonderful magic that happens at REACH and it was heartbreaking to think that this small charity nearly closed its doors due to the events of this year.  I'm so happy to hopefully be able to help REACH through this event and thank you so much for your support.

For a bit of fun, I put together a movie trailer for the event, here is the link and I hope it puts a smile on your face 😁

NOVEMBER RECAP AND DECEMBER SESSIONS

In our online November yoga sessions, we have been focusing on getting grounded, feeling supported and being comfortable in the body.  We've been working on the health of the joints, releasing the shoulders and back and finding softness and comfort by using supportive aids.

In our online meditation classes we have been looking at True Relaxation and the 5 levels that need to be relaxed in order to truly experience complete relaxation.  We've explored techniques to reduce stress, balance the nervous system, process the emotions, reduce mental overwhelm and even a technique used by elite athletes and MMA fighters to slow the heart rate on demand.

All of the live online sessions are now in the online Yoga and Meditation Portal if you missed them or would like to experience them again.  You can join the live sessions and access the library by signing up at www.victoriayogaonline.com.
