KundAlini Yoga at Coed: " New Year, Fresh Start" workshop
WELCOME!
I am delighted to be offering a "New Year, Fresh Start" KundAlini yoga workshop with Sound bath in the beautiful temple-like barn at Coed Hills Rural Arts Centre, nestled in ancient and magical woodland, just 8 miles west of Cardiff on the outskirts of the village of St Hilary, near Cowbridge.
-------------------------------------------------
WHAT TO EXPECT:
This is a workshop to facilitate new beginnings and fresh starts in all aspects of your life, through nourishing, empowering and inspiring practises, connecting with and utlising the wisdom that we each carry deep within our hearts.
This is a time to go gentle with ourselves, to deeply listen to the voice that wants to come through in the form of thoughts, feelings, synchronicities, and above all intuition, to support us in aligning to our "true north", to honouring our needs, desires and ideas, and hold them as sacred. We are becoming more and more aware of our mission, our purpose here on earth, and in order to fully embrace our creative capacity and potential ("Kundalini") on our human journey in this lifetime, we need to know how to protect oursleves from unwelcome energies, and how to create firm and healthy boundaries.
These worshops are intended to strengthen, uplift and support you in finding (and lighting) the spark inside you, tending this flame and directing this beautiful creative energy in the direction of your hopes and dreams! Life is never straight forward, but we wouldn't learn much if it was.
Take the lessons, feel all you need to feel, move through as slow or fast as you need to, let go of what you know you need to, and walk your walk, talk your talk and blossom into the increible being that you need to be right now.
-------------------------------------------------
KUNDALINI YOGA:
We will gather side by side to practise a special kundalini yoga sequence of movements, breath-work, mantra, meditation, mudra, balances, stretches, dancing, shaking and general merriment to awaken your life-force energy and focus on deepening your awareness of your inner spirit and inner guidance, by observing your emotions, feelings and thought patterns.
Kundalini is symbolised by a serpent, an omen of immense transformation, of evolution - moving all of humanity into a frequency more truly aligned with our unique soul purpose, this is a potent time to birth a new evolution as we welcome in 2026 and approach the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse.
-------------------------------------------------
GONG SOUND BATH:
The yoga session will be followed by deep relaxation with gongs, Tibetan Singing bowls and Bamboo chimes, and we will close with a meditation to support us in moving forward more focused, more curious and more connected to the energy and the rthythm of this beautiful planet, universe, intangile something bigger than ourselves- our collective spirit!
You will be invited to do as little or as much as you feel to - sit in a chair or on the floor (on a yoga mat or padded mat). Visualisation is a key part fo this practise, so the session is open to everyone, and you don't need to be concerned with your physical fitness or if you are carrying an injury of any kind. If you can breathe, you can do kundALIni yoga!
Simply meet the practise where you are in the moment and absorb the energy of the group vibration, as we raise our frequency and tune in to our higher selves for guidance and wisdom during these transformational times.

LOCATION:
Coed Hills Community and Wedding Venue is about one mile east of the centre of the village of St Hilary. near Cowbridge (8 miles west of Cardiff).
The whole site is run on alternative energy, from high-tech wind turbines and biomass underfloor heaters, to solar showers made out of scrap radiators. With its permaculture gardens, the place is an inspiration for the budding and more experienced eco-conscious. Accommodation includes railway carriages, Mongolian Yurts, log cabins, tipis and straw bailed buildings.
-------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS:
From the centre of the village, take the road past the post box and phone box. After about 3/4 mile, ignore the turn to Coed Hills Farm on the right; the entrance to the Arts Space is about 100 yards further along on the right.
Go through the gate in to the field and park on the grass close to the woodland.
Walk along the short winding road between the trees and go through the large wooden doors in the building on your right. Remove your shoes, and pass through the first room, through another wooden door, and then down some steps where you will be greeted by the beautiful wooden temple, and then step inside for a warm welcome!!!
------------------------------
TRANSPORT:
Car sharing is highly recommended and please allow plenty of time to find your way if you are new to the venue. **Be sure to note down the directions above**
(If you do happen to arrive late for any reason, even if we have started, please do come in and find a place as you will always be very welcome.)
Given this is an evening event, I suggest car sharing or getting a taxi to/from Bridgend train station to Coed Hills Wedding Venue and Art Space just outside the village of St.Hilary.

I look forward to welcoming you to this stunning venue and sharing this empowering and inclusive kundALIni yoga practise with you.
