RELEASE & RESTORE
The evening event will involve a fusion of breath work to release diaphragm and pelvic floor tensions caused by stress and poor posture, flowing into very slow, gentle restorative stretches to release shortened, tight muscles, ease heavy legs, physical lethargy, aches and pains. You’ll then be encouraged to snuggle down under a warm fluffy blanket to clear your mind with a guided meditation, nurturing you back to peace and calm. Warm stones, essential oils and a soothing head massage (using a “therapy octopus comb” per person) will follow. The evening will conclude with a mug of hot chocolate, Horlicks or herbal tea.

ONLINE STRETCH SOOTHE AND RELEASE
We are offering you an ultimate relaxation experience whilst in the comfort and safety of your own home. Covid-19 has forced us to adapt the way we live our lives in many ways so, thanks to the wonders of Zoom we’ve designed a special online relaxation event to help you make the very best of this unusual situation .
Join Shaena for an evening of combined slow stretches and meditation to encourage the body to release tensions caused by stress or poor posture. The session will commence with flowing, gentle stretches. These movements are essential for good health and wellbeing. Releasing tensions in the body through movement and breath is a powerful but very relaxing practice and can assist internal organs with the detoxing process, improve joint mobility, range of movement and provide a general sense of calm.
To completely relax your inner self a 20 minute meditation will conclude this session.
To enjoy this evening to the max we recommend you take a warm shower or bath before this session, find a suitable quiet place in your home to set up a mat, blankets and 2 cushions with sufficient space to move and stretch. To add to the relaxing ambience light some scented candles (positioned safely) and dim your lights then prepare to totally melt away the stresses of an extraordinary year. .
When the session is complete you wont have to get up, go out into the cold winter night and drive home, just snuggle down into a restful night’s sleep.

ONLINE LAVENDER NIGHT
We’ve received lots of requests for this one!
Due to Covid restrictions our signature lavender evening is back with a difference. Thanks to the wonders of Zoom we’ve adapted our very popular evening so you can enjoy the experience in the comfort of your own home.
Indulge yourself in a deeply relaxing, therapeutic meditation session relieving deep physical, mental and emotional stresses.
To best benefit from this evening you should turn off your phone, lay on a soft mat with a cosy blanket and cushions around for your comfort or simply climb into bed. Whatever your chosen space you should feel secure, warm and be able to fully relax.
To add to the relaxing ambience light some candles (positioned safely) and dim your lights and fill a hot water bottle or warm up a wheat bag (WARM NOT HOT). If you have a favourite essential oil you can pop a few drops on your pillow or infuse your room using a few drops of oil on a small piece of cotton wool rested on a radiator.
Once you are comfortable and laying down the meditation session will begin. All you need to do is close your eyes and listen to Shaena gently guide you through a virtual journey of mindful discovery.
When the session is complete you wont have to get up, go out into the cold winter night and drive home, just snuggle down into a restful night’s sleep.
To preserve your privacy we recommend once you have logged in to the session you turn off your camera or turn it to face a wall and mute your microphone (this will to allow you to drift off to sleep at any point safe in the knowledge you are not being watched!)

Release the Psoas and Deep Core
The Psoas muscles are the deepest muscles in the body. They are the link between our spine, diaphragm and legs, and therefore, involved in almost every movement we make. In this special 60 minute session you will be guided through a sequence of slow, deep stretches.
These relaxing stretches will work to release tensions held in your body, reduce symptoms of IBS, improve flexibility in the lower back and pelvis, all of which are common issues caused by modern lifestyles.
Participating in this special workshop will promote body awareness and improve Pilates practice.
The evening will conclude with a freshly made, healthy juice.
Please wear comfy clothes and socks
Duration: 7.00pm – 8.10pm in the form of a group session with a maximum of 12 people in The Stable studio.

Developmental Stretch Workshop
The benefits of a good stretch are often under estimated. In fact the combination of deep, steady breathing and accurate stretching techniques can enhance energy levels, release toxins, increase circulation and are fundamental for relaxation.
During this guided workshop Sheana will demonstrate how breathing through deep stretches to encourage muscles to relax can bring magical, therapeutic results.
With each stretch you will focus on taking time to breath, whilst going deeper into the stretch. Your body will respond to these stretches by increasing circulation, releasing toxins and improving energy levels.
Regularly practising deep stretches will improve the range of movement in major joints and as a consequence, in time, relieve painful pressure.
The workshop will conclude with a short relaxing meditation session and a fresh, cleansing smoothie
Please wear comfy clothes and socks.
Sessions take the form of a 70 minute group session in the Stables studio

To conclude the evening you will be encouraged to snuggle under your blanket and slowly sip a warming hot chocolate or Horlicks or a soothing herbal tea.
