I couldn’t let the run up to Christmas go by without our annual Christmas Toddler Yoga special and I’m very excited to say it runs alongside the Halton Mill Christmas Fair again!
If you’re anything like me you might have been browsing all of the different Christmas experiences already and finding so many are completely booked up do not worry - Christmas Yoga is here and I’m even more excited that it’s on the day of mill Christmas Fair which has become a yearly tradition for me and my little family. It is honestly such a lovely and unique Christmas experience with festive shopping, carol singing, children’s activities, food and drink, AND Christmas Yoga making beautiful memories for you and your little ones
Expect Christmas Yoga Poses, musical fun, relaxation (questionable ) and plenty of Festive Cheer!!

It's time to give yourself a break and take some time for you!

What is yin?
Yin is a nourishing type of yoga that works deep into the connective tissue through longer, passive stretches.
What are the benefits?
Yin can improve harmony between mind and body, release fascia, and encourage deep relaxation.

Solstice workshop with Claire Braithwaite and Annie Hackwell
21st December 16.00-19.00
Join Yoga by the Lune and Annie Hackwell on the shortest day of the year for a dreamy reset. As we soften into stillness, embracing winter as a restful and nurturing time for you, one of our favourite times for us to gather and pause.
Through a journey of the self, embodying the teachings of winter and the darkness, as we welcome the light. Re-balancing the subtle energy body, mobilising where there's stagnation, digesting and integrating to return to a state of ease and flow.
A chance to slow down, take a moment out of the chaos of the festivities, move your body, release, unwind and reset.
What to expect:
Shake the Dust - letting go through shaking, jumping, dancing, movement, rest and release
Conscious Connected Breath + Bodywork
Chakra Alignment - breath and body realignment to harmonise the energy system and open the chakras
SomaRoll - myofascial release and yin yoga
Meditation and pulse point massage
An opportunity to remind yourself of the deep wisdom in you that you already have to support yourself through the season.
Christmas Eve Restorative Yoga with Annie Neat
24th December 14.00-16.00
Come and wind down before Christmas day with our annual Restorative practice!
Restorative Yoga is designed to support us to settle into our parasympathetic nervous system (the rest and digest part of our nervous system). This not only helps us to relax and destress but also can support us with connection to ourselves and others.
So what is it?
We hold simple, yet familiar, yoga poses for extended period of times. These yoga poses are supported by loads of props so that your body can slowly release into the poses. We are gently opening up the fascia (connective tissue) in the body which can support our physical and emotional wellness. This workshop really is suitable for everybody! We can work with injuries, illnesses and vulnerabilities you may be managing.
With her training in somatic therapy and breathwork, Annie offers skilful touch and presence to help you meet true rest.
