with Sophie Shenstone
Yoga re sculpts our mental/physical landscapes, releasing unhelpful patterns of thought along with limiting or damaging habits of posture and movement.
I practice and teach a flowing, breath-led, meditative style of hatha yoga, ….I love to creatively combine core strength and dynamic flow, with inner qualities of listening, non-competetiveness, and embodied enquiry…
Shen massage is holistic, intuitive bodywork, based on shiatsu, with elements of Thai yoga and deep tissue massage. I describe the treatment as “like having yoga done to you“; it is a sort of meditation for both participants, anchored in breath awareness and sensitivity of touch. Each treatment is individual, drawing from two decades of experience in Shiatsu, Yoga and Meditation.

So what exactly do you get at a Shenyoga session? Yoga practice for me has gone beyond its Eastern roots...After 20 years of loving teaching and exploring, i have begun encorporating earth spirituality as it was expressed way back when our ancestors here in these lands also understood the power of the seasonal rhythms, and knew that water, trees, earth, air, rock are all doorways into the Infinite. In those days special calendar days didn't just have random dates attached to saints and celebrities! They linked intentionally with the cycle of the moon and sun, the seasonal transitions..."Everything breathes and turns in cycles..The moon, the stock market, our hearts, the seasons, the wheeling galaxies, all expand and contract with the rhythm of life..it is only by letting go into this truth that we awaken to that which is timeless....the ground of Being.." (Jack Kornfield) ... See MoreSee Less
