🍂 A morning to welcome Autumn — Foraging & Grounding Yoga at Hill End 🌿
Come and join us in our beautiful ash grove at Hill End for a gentle morning of connecting with nature, exploring seasonal plants and slowing down as we welcome the changing season.
We’ll spend time foraging together, discovering some familiar plants in their autumn guise and meeting some new ones, before gathering around a small fire for wild tea and seasonal nibbles.
There’ll also be grounding, accessible yoga and time to pause, breathe and reconnect — no previous yoga or foraging experience needed.
Autumn invites us to reflect, let go and gently prepare for winter. Come and share a little of that seasonal magic with us. 🍁
We’d love to welcome you, whether you’re new to us or have joined us before.

We thoroughly enjoyed spending time in the woods with this wonderful group of people. The feedback was heartwarming: relaxing, calming, beautiful, balanced and restorative. Guests also loved the seasonal refreshments, including elderflower cordial, nettle tea, fresh fruit and homemade vegan flapjack.
Our next session takes place on Saturday the 3rd of October, 10:00–13:00, when we'll celebrate the beauty of autumn beneath the trees and discover what treasures the season has to offer for foraging. A true treat for the senses and a chance to reconnect with nature as it changes around us.

I’ve wanted to take yoga outdoors for such a long time, and I’m so excited to finally make it happen.
Hillend Outdoor Education Centre is a beautiful setting surrounded by trees, open fields, and wildlife, with plenty of parking available. Together with Jo, who also works at Hillend, we’ve decided to take the plunge and create a special day of wellbeing in the woodland.
We’ll begin by meeting at the car park before setting off on a gentle nature walk up to the woodland. Along the way, we’ll take time to notice the plants around us, learning a little about their qualities and connection to wellbeing.
Once we arrive at the woodland circle, we’ll enjoy gentle yoga, mindfulness, and forest bathing, giving ourselves the chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature.
To finish the day, we’ll gather around the fire, relax together, and enjoy a warm cup of tea.

Looking forward to this class at WOCC next Sunday. Great way to start your Sunday. I know it'll be fun and inclusive because David, my husband, is running it and he is a wonderful teacher who truly believes in sport and movement for all.
12th April, 9.30, 45 mins long - pay on the day (£10) cash or card. It's gonna be a fantastic way to start a Sunday (and you can have coffee in the cafe afterwards - win win!)
