The group has been running for 8 years and we’d love you to come and help us celebrate with a special afternoon tea at the Yoga studio. Come together with others who are keen to raise consciousness, listen, explore and share ideas while increasing self-awareness in a non-judgemental, friendly and safe space. The topics we’ll be exploring are conversation, connection and consciousness. It’s an afternoon for anyone interested in any or all these topics!

With Katherine Winter
This is a floor-based, gentle, and restorative class suitable for all skill levels. For the first half, we will gently warm up the joints and then practice a slow flowing sequence of soft and revitalising poses. For the second half, we will lie down, with optional bolsters/blankets, for a Guided Meditation (Yoga Nidra). This is a type of meditation where participants experience a relaxed state in between sleep and awareness, in order to fully relax the body and mind. Yoga Nidra has many benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, and helping to promote better and deeper sleep.
Katherine began her yoga journey in 2015 and noticed a profound transformation in her mind and body. She decided to train as a yoga teacher to help others experience the healing effects of yoga and studied at Ayur-Yoga Eco Ashram near Mysore, India, completing her training in 2019 and 2023. She is also a qualified Rainbow Yoga Children’s yoga teacher and a Mental Health First Aider. Katherine is an empathetic and calm teacher whose classes range from Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin. She encourages people to use yoga techniques to develop a deeper connection with their minds and bodies to grow in flexibility, strength, grace, and confidence both on and off the mat.

We are very honoured to be hosting this joyful event at Canterbury Yoga which will be led by Emma Slade/ Lopin Ani Pema Deki who is a well known and popular inspirational speaker.
Emma Slade is a yoga teacher with 25 years of experience, in addition she has been a Buddhist Nun for 13 years and is the founder of the UK registered charity Opening Your Heart to Bhutan which helps children with special needs in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
For the morning of June 22nd, she will be speaking on the fascinating links and contrasts between yoga and Buddhism – both of which specify a gradual eight step path to freedom from suffering. The morning will consist of teachings, discussion and advice on practice. Emma will be giving her time freely and all proceeds will go towards her charity walk across Bhutan this Autumn.
Both Buddhism and yoga have their origins in a very positive and powerful belief of what it is to be born as a human. Both offer a way to enlightenment which involves practices of body, speech and mind. Emma will clearly identify these common roots and practices in a way which will benefit everyone from the mildly interested to the highly experiences practitioner or meditator.
A handout will be provided and it will be possible to attend either in person or on line in order to maximise the benefit to the charity. If you are attending in person, please bring a cushion and notebook and pen.
If you cannot attend and you want to support the work of the charity please visit our website where you can also make a donation – www.openingyourhearttobhutan.com
