Last call for Saturday's Sound Journey!

Come and chill out in the studio from 4.30-5.45pm this Saturday 20th June with Laura Penneycard - a beautiful opportunity to connect with Mother Earth & with yourself the day before the summer solstice.

The session will include meditation, a breath practice, journal prompts, a little bit of one on one care, and then a long soothing sound journey to aid deep relaxation and letting go.

Laura works with Himalayan Singing Bowls, small gongs, percussive instruments and her voice. Sound healing clears energy lines and blocks in the body; physical, emotional & spiritual, and is a lovely way to connect and ground with ourselves. An opportunity to find our own silence within the sound, and to hear our true voice.

Head to https://www.stableyoga.co.uk/online-booking and click on Courses to book. £18pp. Sound healing is not advised for those with epilepsy, wearing a pacemaker, or in their first trimester of pregnancy.

Please dress comfortably in layers & feel free to bring an extra blanket/cushions for comfort!

Why Hip Openers Feel Different For Everyone….

Different bodies and different genders will react in different ways to each pose.

Hip mobility is influenced by both anatomy and lifestyle.

Women generally have a wider pelvis and different hip socket angle, which can allow greater range of motion in certain movements. Men often have deeper hip sockets and more muscle mass around the hips and legs, which can create more restriction in poses like Pigeon or Butterfly.

But flexibility isn’t just about muscles. The nervous system also determines how much movement the body allows. If a stretch feels unsafe or too forceful, muscles contract to protect the joint.

This is why slower, supported hip openers are often more effective than pushing deeper. Steady breathing and time help reduce muscular guarding and improve mobility gradually. Slow breaths signal to your nervous system that you are safe, a longer exhale encourages this also.

We have a huge treat in store on Saturday 23rd May from 6-8pm. 🧡

Niki Moss Simpson and Perin Kureyhan-Cummings will be back in the studio for The Resilience Reset: a restorative workshop blending gentle yoga and breathwork, tuning fork sound therapy, and Reiki chakra energy healing — all designed to help you return to the balanced “factory settings” your body was born with.

In our modern world, stressors of all kinds can disrupt our inner harmony. This session helps clear your central energy channel, strengthen your energetic boundaries, and support the free flow of Qi/prana/life force throughout your system.

Using the body’s innate ability to self-tune through sound, combined with mindful movement and healing touch, you’ll create space for calm, clarity, and deep energetic alignment. Leave feeling grounded, balanced, and more resilient from the inside out.

Popular visiting therapists at Stable Yoga, Perin is a Kinesiologist & PSYCHE-K Practitioner, and Niki is a yoga & somatic breathwork facilitator & Reiki/Chakra healer.

To book your slot, go to https://www.stableyoga.co.uk/online-booking and click on Courses in the grey calendar box, or find Stable Yoga in your Glofox app. £33 per person for this 2-hour self-care session.

We have a special event on Saturday 23rd May with Perin and Niki, 6pm until 8.
Saturday’s Resilience Reset workshop brings together a combination of Reiki, tuning fork, breath work and yoga; designed to support you back to yourself.

Led by Perin Kureyhan-Cummings and Niki Moss Simpson, this is a space to pause, reset, and return to a steadier baseline.
A chance to step out of the usual pace, and give the body time to restore itself.

Through gentle yoga and breathwork, the body is encouraged to slow down and release held tension. Tuning fork sound therapy introduces subtle vibration, which can help the nervous system settle and support the body’s natural capacity to recalibrate. Reiki offers a quiet, restorative space for further release and rebalancing.

Together, these approaches work to support circulation, breathing patterns, and nervous system regulation — creating the conditions for the body to move out of “doing” mode and back towards a more settled, responsive state.

The session is designed to be accessible, supportive, and deeply restorative.

We look forward to welcoming you for this restoring session. Book online or follow the ‘courses’ tab on Glo Fox app (search for Stable Yoga)

On March 14th we have the return of our Soulful Saturday a deeply restful gathering designed to help you step out of ‘doing mode’ and into being. This session blends gentle movement, conscious breath, Yoga Nidra, and sound healing to support nervous system regulation and deep restoration.

The evening (6-8pm) begins with grounding breathwork and soulful movement to gently release tension and prepare the body for rest. Niki, Hatha yoga teacher and somatic breathwork facilitator, will guide you into a spacious and supportive Yoga Nidra — offering the body and mind a chance to truly let go.

From here, we transition into a Sound Journey led by Mia, whose intuitive use of gongs, Himalayan bowls, percussion, and her crystal harp creates a rich, immersive soundscape.

Sound has a powerful way of settling the nervous system, clearing energetic blocks, and supporting integration — leaving you feeling both grounded and gently uplifted.

There will also be a nourishing snack and drink, to welcome you back to your weekend.

We hope you’ll leave feeling rested, restored, and resourced for the week ahead.

Book online (link in bio, then click on courses) or via the free Glofox app: search for Stable Yoga and click on ‘Courses’

Just bring warm clothes and yourself.

As Swedish yoga teacher Rachel Brathen says,
“Balance is key. In everything you do.
Dance all night long and practice yoga the next day.
Drink wine but don’t forget your green juice.
Eat chocolate when your heart wants it and kale salad when your body needs it.
Wear high heels on Saturday and walk barefoot on Sunday.
Live high and low. Move and stay still.
Embrace all sides of who you are and live your authentic truth!
Be brave and bold and spontaneous and loud and let that complement your abilities to find silence and patience and modesty and peace.
Aim for balance. Make your own rules and don’t let anybody tell you how to live according to theirs.”

Join any of our 10 classes per week - from Yin, Pregnancy and Chair Yoga, to Mostly for Men, Hatha, Forrest and Vinyasa Flow - and bring some balance into your life: body and mind.

Shorter days, cooler mornings, busy weeks — it’s natural for our rhythm to change. This time of year often invites us to slow down, to move with a little more care, and to simplify.

If your yoga practice has felt quieter or harder to return to recently, you’re not alone — and you haven’t fallen behind. Yoga isn’t something to keep up with. It’s something you return to, gently, when the moment is right.
At Stable Yoga, we’re leaning into this seasonal shift with classes that support grounding and regulation rather than pushing or striving.

Our Gentle Flow Yoga with Keri on Wednesday 8.30am and also on Friday at 10.30am are a wonderful place to begin or return — offering unhurried movement, simple breath practices, and time to settle the nervous system.

Consistency doesn’t mean doing more — it means meeting yourself where you are, again and again.

We look forward to seeing you on the mat.

What are your thoughts on New Year’s resolutions…?

Whether you set one or several each year, stick to them or not, or refuse to set yourself up for failure(!) this is the time of year when we think about maybe doing some things differently in the year ahead. According to statistics, 47% of Brits set the New Year’s resolution to become fitter and get more exercise.

Perhaps you’d like to improve your mental health too? To finally sort out that aching lower back, or stiff hips & shoulders? To schedule some me-time every week? To become stronger and more flexible? To be less prone to stress and feel more self-confident? To just try something new?

A regular yoga class will help with all of the above.

The Spring Term at Stable Yoga kicks off on Monday 5th January. Experienced, warm and welcoming instructors teach 10 classes, 6 days a week, with regular one-off weekend workshops and sound healings too. 🧡
Class styles include Hatha, Pregnancy, Flow, Chair yoga, Yin, Forrest yoga and our own unique ‘Mostly for Men’ class (although ladies welcome!)

Still only £10 per class if you buy a batch of credits or £13 for drop-ins. If you’re new to yoga, or just a newcomer to our beautiful, peaceful studio, get in touch at [email protected] and ask for a free trial.

For further info about the studio, teachers, styles of yoga, our weekly timetable, or to book a class, visit www.stableyoga.co.uk.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and we hope to see you on the mat soon!
