Pause & Breathe CIC

Qi Gong has a powerful effect on the whole of the body and mind. Every exercise has an effect on the whole energetic system, allowing energy (qi) to flow freely. It is possible to practice Qi Gong with mobility difficulties – each posture can be adapted, and it is feasible to practice whilst sitting on a chair.

Much like Tai Chi, Qi Gong uses slow movement, tied in with the breath, to help move energy around the body.

This session is £8 to attend, or you can come along for a donation.

Any questions, please email: susie@pauseandbreathe.co.uk

Come and join us for our annual Christmas Party on Sunday 18th December, from 2 pm - 5 pm at The Yoga Tree, Stirling.

Let's come together and celebrate the festive season with some tea, cake and mindfulness.

At the party, we will also be running a number of sessions. If you would like to attend any of the sessions, please book a space, otherwise turn up on the day, mingle and jingle and eat plenty of cake. Places are limited to 2 sessions per person. 

In this Yoga Nidra, we bring in themes of serenity - inviting calmness, a sense of tranquillity. Yoga Nidra is a deep relaxation practice, in which we invite the body and mind to stillness.

You don't need to do anything for Yoga Nidra, except lie down and listen to the guided meditation. You may find that you drift in and out of sleep, and this is perfectly OK.

This session is being held by Susie Hooper. It's £7 to attend, or it's possible to make a donation if this is unaffordable.

So many of us struggle to stop. To be still. To do nothing. Yet we all know that our bodies and minds need to rest. We need to balance our busyness with stillness. Our days are so full that we cannot switch off at night, and sleep becomes elusive.

Restival is a full day dedicated to rest. We start before lunch, and will be having workshops into the evening. You are welcome to join us for as many workshops as you like. Our timetable will be released soon.

We have some incredible guest speakers joining us, including Karen Brody and Scott Moore. Susie will be the host throughout the day, she'll be offering the welcome and also a Yoga Nidra for sleep at the end of the day. Rest isn't just about stillness - we'll have some movement in the day, we'll hear about ancestral exhaustion, one of our guest speakers will be talking about Labyrinths, and how they link to rest.

We are keeping our costs low, we know that things are tough right now and we really want to offer this out in the spirit of giving. We have a sliding scale - £15 / £25 / £35 - just pick the level that matches what's affordable to you.

The workshop is held on zoom, it'll be the same zoom code for the full day, so you can pick which workshops to attend with ease.
