@clare's zumba gold class

This is an accredited course with the International practitioners of Holistic medicine for women personally or professionally to transform their life. Relax, be calm, you've got this!

Welcome to my class! My name is Liz and I teach a gentle and mindful yoga class, open to all. My aim is to help you unwind in the evening and reconnect with your body and inner alignment. The class will be varied and include some slower paced flows (options always available to suit your practice/body), some meditative aspects, and some longer held yin and restorative poses. This is a practice meant for you, so I welcome any feedback/suggestions at the end of my classes with the aim of tailoring my teaching for the greatest benefit of the community. A bit about me: I have been participating in mindful movement for my entire life including experience in classical ballet, partner dance styles, and yoga. My teacher training was completed under a Zen Monk (Daizan Skinner) so I am greatly influenced by these traditions in my teaching. I feel a huge sense of excitement to be sharing this practice so that more people can experience the joy of connecting deeply with themselves, and with life. Outside of yoga, I love nature, music, and crafty activities! I use a tiered pricing system ranging from 5-9 pounds a class Please use whichever option is most appropriate for your unique situation. If you are new to my class, please feel free to take advantage of the newcomers option which is free. Any questions; contact me at: 07539207289 or lizdyeryoga@outlook.com

Come join us for this tomato inspired fundraiser. An open-day style mini tomato fest, celebrating the diversity and deliciousness of one of our favourite crops - tomatoes. There will be two tours of the market garden during the day, seed saving demos, tomato tastings, food, a bar and more.  The morning tour will start at 12pm and the afternoon tour will start at 2:30pm so if you'd like to go on either of the tours, please make sure to arrive before whichever one you choose is set to begin. The day will run from 11am to 5pm. Feel free to come for as much of the day or as little as you like.  The purpose of the day is to invite anyone who enjoys the produce we grow, to come out to the farm and celebrate one of our favourite crops whilst getting a better sense of where your veg comes from and how and why we do what we do.  This is a fundraising event. All proceeds from the day will go towards the continuing work of our Community Food Project - which provides subsidised veg in the local area to anyone struggling to afford the food they need and want to eat. Donations on the day on top of ticket cost are very welcome.  Our friends at Trill Farm Garden are also holding a similar Tomato Fest on Sunday August 6th. Ticket booking for both events is separate.  Come join us in celebrating August in the market garden! - We don't want to exclude anyone from being able to join us for the day, so if the ticket price will be a barrier, please get in touch and we'll do what we can to offer subsidised or discounted tickets.  - Both cash and card accepted for lunch, bar, and anything else to purchase on the day.  - No dogs please, as there are cats and livestock etc on the farm.  We look forward to seeing you there.
