Fresh Rosemary and Squash Soup

Just when you think the winter is all over……  Time for some warming soup!

This is one of my favourites when it’s cold and wet outside and you need something warm and nourishing inside.  Fresh Rosemary is a wonderfully beneficial herb for dispelling the cold and aiding the memory.  Great for warming up cold arthritic joints too.  I use the essential oil in winter baths, in a massage blend for aching muscles and also as a hair rinse as it’s excellent for the scalp – just add  1 drop to a sink of warm water and dunk.  In Aromatherapy it is classed as a cephalic – which basically means it’s great for anything to do with your head!

British Summertime is here…

Lyn Watson

The clocks have sprung forward, the nights are drawing out, and it was a stunning weekend up here in Wooler.  We hiked in the College Valley and felt as if we’d arrived in paradise as we sat by the waterfalls of Hethpool Linn enjoying our packed lunch in the dappled shade of the leafless trees, warm sunlight playing on the water… Just heavenly!   Continue reading “British Summertime is here…” →

Relax and Restore – Yoga with Lyn

Lyn Watson

Yoga in Chatton Village Hall  

Tuesdays 1 – 2.30 pm.  Cost £8 per session

The Yoga will be gentle Hatha and slow paced.  We will focus on using breath with movement, loosening up the joints and the spine, and bringing some strength, flexibility and openness in our bodies.  There will be a lovely relaxation at the end so we may leave calm and refreshed.  Bring your mat and a big cosy blanket! 

This practice is ideal for people who have not done much Yoga, are beginners, elderly, or highly stressed/overworked and need to restore energy.

Does this sound like something you might enjoy? Please get in touch to book your place!

Both the movement and the relaxation exercises offered in the class help us slow down, breathe deeply and restore our vital energy. We will incorporate some energy medicine, simple Thai Yoga Massage techniques and Yoga Nidra for a relaxing session that generates a sense of deep, restorative rest which is beneficial for the body.

The classes are suitable for all ages and abilities. You are encouraged to tune into your own body and only practice what feels right for you.

I look forward to seeing you on the mat!
