Move, Breathe, Create

A restorative winter afternoon combining yoga, breathwork and a deeply nourishing guided relaxation with the gentle practice of seasonal nature connection and creativity.

Winter invites us to slow down, turn inwards and conserve our energy. But it can also be a time to notice the beauty of the season, to gather together, play, create and find small moments of joy.

We have created this afternoon as an invitation to move with the season rather than against it, giving ourselves permission to rest, breathe and simply be whilst also making space for
creativity and connection.

Through gentle yoga, mindful movement, meditation and a guided deep relaxation, Esther will create space to reconnect with ourselves, breathe deeply and settle into the quiet rhythm of winter After a pause for tea and homemade cake, Leanne will continue the seasonal thread through nature connection, winter folklore and creativity, using natural materials to make a simple botanical decoration to take home.

The emphasis will be on the experience rather than producing something perfect: a relaxed, nourishing afternoon, with something beautiful and meaningful to take home.

The afternoon is a collaboration between:

Leanne from Wild Routes

Founder of Wild Routes, Leanne has a deep love of nature and is passionate about foraging, folklore, seasonal living and the stories held within our plants and landscapes. She creates relaxed, welcoming experiences that encourage people to slow down, notice and reconnect with the natural world. For Move, Breathe, Create, Leanne will guide the nature-based part of the afternoon, connecting with the season and creating a beautiful winter garland to take home.

Esther - Yoga with Esther

I have been teaching yoga for 14 years, and yoga has been part of my life for over 30. I offer yoga classes, meditation and seasonal gatherings in person around Northampton, during the summer months I host workshops and classes at The Tipi, my outdoor space on a local farm.

I teach with a softness and awareness that gives you space to breathe deeply, stretch and unwind. Meditation and guided relaxation are a big part of what I offer. I love creating space for deep rest and reflection through these practices. Through my own journey with yoga, and through years of teaching, I have seen firsthand just how much it can support us, helping our physical and mental wellbeing, and offering a steady place to land and find a sense of balance.

Making this afternoon accessible to everyone matters a great deal to us. If there's anything we can do to support you, or if you have any questions at all, please get in touch. We'd love to hear from you.
