Service Description

Come and join Tammy McCann (Yoga teacher) and Nicky Roland (Art Therapist) and for an afternoon which will include mindful yoga, mindfulness meditation and creative art making. We will start with gentle yoga, exploring the natural movements of the body to bring us into a somatic experience of presence, discovering the beauty of our inner nature. We will then move into therapeutic art making and then some group sharing. There will be an opportunity to express yourself in a free and explorative way, with a wide range of art materials available (you are welcome to bring your own too). This is a time for restoring our bodies, connecting with ourselves, through movement and art expression, and then opening to any wisdom we receive through doing so. Who is this for? The afternoon is open to all levels of experience (in Yoga/Mindfulness/art making). Beginners are welcome. Cost £45 About Tammy: www.yogawithtammy.co.uk Tammy McCann: 500hr RYT, 100hr Meditation TT Tammy's practice is rooted in Buddhism. For many years she practised at a local centre, attending many retreats. She has also explored the teachings and practises of many different traditions, and this fuelled her love of philosophy and inquiry. Yoga played an important part throughout these earlier explorations and led her to the decision to train formally. She completed a two-year 500-hour yoga teacher training which was intense and challenging, but gave her a solid grounding in yoga’s spiritual and physical elements. The training explored the eight limbs of yoga, and as she studied she found her home in the practice. Teaching what she has learned, and what inspires and excites her, is now her passion.
