Mindfulness techniques will offer calm to a busy mind. The class will end with a short relaxation leaving you to enjoy the beautiful setting accompanied by a sense of deep ease.

She is influenced by the practice of mindfulness, the mind-body connection and yoga’s capacity to generate positive change. Chloe is also a yoga therapist (Minded Institute) and IFS practitioner working with individuals, supporting a range of mental and physical health challenges.
