What's Coming Up at the Shala!
Join Ezgi for a casual walk in the RSPB Blean Woods, Rough Common, Canterbury.
No yoga this time – we’re simply taking a gentle walk through the woods at an easy, accessible pace, chatting and connecting with like-minded friends. Feel free to bring a flask for a warm drink or a snack.
The walk will take around 75 to 90 minutes, depending on our pace and how often we stop to enjoy the beautiful views.
We’ll meet at the Blean Woods car park at 12:30 pm. If you need a lift, please let Ezgi know, as she has space for 3-4 people in her car.
As it can get quite muddy this time of year, depending on the weather, you might want to bring a raincoat or boots.
Full address: Rough Common Rd, Port Ellen, Upper Harbledown, Canterbury CT2 9DD

Andrea and Ezgi are coming together to offer you an evening full of relaxation and self-reflection.
At the beginning of the evening, you’ll be introduced to a simple breathing exercise to arrive and settle. Then Ezgi will take you through a group of gentle restorative postures to prepare you for the soundbath.
Andrea will guide a magical Sound Bath journey weaving together crystal singing bowls, vocals and percussion instruments. Her unique, Crystal Singing Bowl and Voice sound bath sessions offer the opportunity for self-enquiry and deep rest.
Andrea plays a set of 7 Crystal Singing Bowls and specialises in playing clear and alchemy crystal singing bowls due to their clearer tone and overtones.
Sound healing is the application of sound through the voice and instruments to balance mind, body and spirit. Some people feel a sense of deep relaxation.
It is recommended that you do not consume any alcohol up to 24 hours before the session.
The session will last for 60 minutes and will begin with a brief introduction to sound healing and what to expect. Next there will be an opening meditation and Andrea will lead you into a relaxed space, to allow yourself to be immersed in the sounds.
Towards the end of the session there will be approximately 5 minutes of silence during which the healing can take place. Andrea will then gently bring you out of the session using her voice, grounding you and bringing you back to full conscious awareness feeling relaxed and refreshed.
The sessions will require participants to simply relax and receive the sounds played, which can have a calming effect on the mind and body. It is recommended that participants bring a blanket and eye mask if required.
There are some contraindications. Please discuss with us whether a sound bath will be suitable for you if any of the circumstances listed below apply to you:
- The first trimester of pregnancy
- Epilepsy
- Pacemaker, or heart condition
- Metal implants or plates in the body

Do you often experience low mood, reduced energy and motivation?
Do you sometimes struggle to stay positive and feel appreciative of the life around you?
Yoga’s combination of physical movement, deep breathing, and mindfulness practices underpinned by yogic philosophy, has been shown to lower stress hormones and increase feel-good chemicals in our system, thereby supporting better mental health.
If you want to find out more and experience the benefits of such a practice, join Jo Fiakkas for this half-day taster workshop.
This is a day suitable for all levels of experience and all bodies. It will include physical movement to allow our bodies to release tension and find ease and fluidity, breathing practices to improve our breathing patterns, promote grounding and inner calm, and relaxation to deeply soothe our nervous system and promote joy and contentment. Practices will be underpinned by yogic philosophy and information will be shared on research and best evidence based practice.
