🎄Calm Before Christmas

Studio 33, St Albans.
🙏 Wintering: Begin Again
January 2027 · The Oak House
A slower start to the year
An afternoon of grounding movement, breath, reflection, Yin, deep rest and sound - an invitation to begin again gently, without the pressure of “new year, new you”.
🔥❄️ Reawaken: Fire + Ice
Spring Equinox 2027
A more energising seasonal experience exploring contrast - movement and stillness, warmth and cold, effort and surrender.
Inspired by the Spring Equinox and held at Jess’s studio and spa, this special event will combine yoga and breathwork with heat and cold immersion, before settling into grounding rest.
Dates, times and booking details will be added as each event is confirmed.
