We regularly hold special and invitation only events here at The Core Zone, including Taster Days, Seasonal Meditation Sessions and our very popular Lavender Nights. Please browse through the selection below, check our News section, visit our Facebook page or see our blackboard in reception for information on all our future events.
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.
Price £20 pp
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
