Yoga at Prairie Gardens: 8 June, 20 July, 17 August 2025
Enjoy a yoga workshop in the beautiful surroundings of Sussex Prairie Gardens in Henfield.
An accessible and friendly 2.5 hour class designed to explore mobilisation, stretching, strength, balance and breathwork amidst the expansive and calming Prairie Gardens.
The Gardens are closed to the public during the class so you will be in a private outdoor space with the other workshop participants. You are also welcome to bring a picnic and enjoy the gardens after the workshop. Do bring water with you and wear sun screen.
The workshop will cover:
- Gentle mobilisation exercises to warm up and release joints and muscles
- Hatha based postures with a focus on optimal alignment for you rather than how deep we can go in the posture
- Options for differentiation for when a full posture isn't possible (eg arthritic wrists or sore knees)
- Postures for strength and flexibility
- Postures to work, stretch, soften and strengthen different body parts and improve your posture
- Simple balances
- Standing, seated and lying postures
- Using props (blocks, straps) for comfort, alignment and to fully access a posture
- Exploration of different breathing and pranayama techniques
- Deep relaxation time (I am planning to incorporate a yoga nidra - deep relaxing yogic sleep)
Beginner friendly with adaptations for people with issues with backs, knees, wrists, shoulders, balance and more. No scary pretzel shapes and you always have an option to relax if you prefer not to do a pose. Designed for all ages, body types and abilities. For reassurance check out the Google reviews of my classes here.
Please note that in the case of rain the workshop will be rescheduled and/or refunds offered.

"Lovely setting and perfect weather for the yoga. Marie worked to everyone's ability and the time went so quickly - most enjoyable!" Caroline Darke
"I can thoroughly recommend Marie’s yoga classes as she caters for all levels of ability and aptitude. I have just attended one of her special classes at Sussex Prairies which was delightful and I will definitely be back for more. Namaste." Jane Blau
