Yoga and Walking Weekend, Autumn 2023

13 – 15th October 2023

At the Le Strange Arms, Old Hunstanton, Norfolk
With Karin Eklund and Kevin Hand MSc MCIEEM

After the success of our Yoga and Walking Weekends in Suffolk, we have selected an exciting new location for 2023, the North Norfolk coast and Wash shoreline. Comfortable rooms, good food, and wonderful walks on endless sandy beaches, full of bird and marine life which our experienced ecologist Kevin can help us enjoy and learn about.

Join us to relax and recharge, leave the world behind with a weekend of yoga and mindful walking by the sea.

Our base will be the Le Strange Hotel in Old Hunstanton, a mile or so north of the popular Victorian seaside town and right beside the shore ( www.lestrangearms.co.uk ). Kevin has used this hotel for many years as a base for wildlife tours with ACE Cultural Tours.

Karin has been teaching yoga since 2006 and has taught most ages and abilities.  She trained with BNS Iyengar (Mysore, India), Lara Baumann (OM Station, London) and Dr. Françoise Freedman (Birthlight, London). Karin now favours a powerful flowing style of yoga with special attention to the breath and alignment to help strengthen and energise the body. She enjoys a varied practice with a creative approach to sequencing. Each class will include some breathing practices, a flowing yoga sequence and a short relaxation.

Kevin is a conservationist and environmentalist with a special interest in birds, mammals and ecotourism. He has been running wildlife tours in the UK and worldwide for over 35 years, mainly for the ACE Foundation, the educational charity based at Stapleford Granary, Cambridge. He has led many projects linking nature and communities, including a Darwin Initiative on the Taiga forests in Siberia and a programme to identify sustainable use of forest resources in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Kevin was a director of the Tree Council and ran National Tree Week in the UK for 13 years. He has recently led a team providing access to the British countryside for hard to reach groups, and a project on eagles, vultures and other wildlife

One Day Yoga Workshop

Satyam Yoga 12th Jan 2019 – Book Here

Introduction to Arm Balances and Inversions

Learn to balance and be upside down in this fun and flowing inversion workshop.

This is a workshop for those of you who have practised for a while but haven’t yet found the confidence or time to focus on arm balances and inversions or simply want to improve in these positions.

We will start with a flowing warm-up, working on strengthening the arms and core. You will then be guided into safe and comfortable arm balances and inversions such as: Crow, Supported Headstand, Tripod Headstand, Handstand and Forearm Balance. Plenty of options will be given.

We will finish with some restorative positions and a full relaxation.

We will be having lunch at Stir after the class and if you would like to join us please email before 2nd January, so that I can book a table for the group.
