The De-Stress Series CURRENT COURSE
A brand-new series of yoga and mindfulness classes to shine a light on the various forms of stress that can play havoc with our well-being and learn how we can use our practise as an antidote.
Practices to de-stress the body, mind and soul
“Set peace of mind as your highest goal, and organise your life around it .”
~ Brian Tracy
Stress is an inevitable part of life and how we respond to it can have a major impact our well-being in so many ways.
Our yoga and mindfulness practices are natural antidotes to the various forms of stress we experience each day and over a lifetime. And if we take time to learn techniques when we are well and healthy, we will be much more able to deal with the little, and big stresses when they come along.
This brand-new 4-week series of classes will shine a light on the various forms of stress and explore the numerous ways we can use our practice to de-stress and maintain inner peace and calm.
Over the four weeks you'll learn:
Although fully practical and lived on the mat through yoga and mindfulness techniques, theory will be weaved in alongside our practices so that you can begin to take what you learn off the mat and into everyday life – I have found this is where real change happens!
This course starts on Tuesday 3 May 2022 and you have the choice of joining our membership or purchasing this one-off course (1 Live class per week included in this option).
There will be a strong, physical, alignment-based approach to the dynamic flow classes and an insightful, meditated quality to the gentler, slower paced classes.
With 6 classes to choose from, in 5 different styles throughout the week you’ll be spoiled for choice! See the full timetable of classes HERE.

This course is designed to take you gently and slowly into the deeper layers of the mind, each week building on your understanding of yoga and the tools and techniques that you can use on and off your mat. The difference to regular yoga classes is that we focus on one particular theme, as well as a physical focus in the body each week. You get to explore this theme for a whole week on and off the mat, building your awareness and focus.
There are 5 different styles to choose from each week and how you choose will depend on whether you have practiced yoga before or not and what you would like to gain from your practice. If you are new to yoga or haven’t practiced in a while, I would suggest starting with the Gentle & Restorative, Morning Meditation and Yin Yoga. If you are familiar with vinyasas then you’ll love the Flow & Reflect classes on Saturday mornings and if you’re looking for more stillness, deep physical stretches and meditation techniques then Yin Yoga will be for you.
You will need a yoga mat and comfortable clothing that you can easily move around in, PJ’s work well for this! For some of the classes you will need some props, but we have been experimenting with household pillows, cushions and blankets in place of traditional yoga props. I will let you know at the beginning of class what you need.
As a member you are welcome to come to any of the classes on the timetable where we will explore these concepts and themes. All classes are recorded and uploaded to the Exclusive Members Area within 24 hours of taking place so if you miss your favourite class you can catch up at a time suit you. PLUS if you go on holiday, you can still access the live classes or recordings from anywhere in the world (as long as you have internet of course!)
If you decide to invest in the one-off course instead of the membership, then you will have access to 1 in-person or live online class for the duration of the course. You will also have access to all recordings from the course for 2 months from the date of your purchase.
If you have any other questions that are not answered here, then feel free to contact me on louise@woodlandyoga.co.uk.
Classes start on Tues 3 May 2022 and will be uploaded within 24 hours of taking place
