As we move into Autumn, this is the ideal time to slow down our pace and embrace practices that nurture and nourish our bodies physically, emotionally, and psychologically.
SATYA is a deeply nourishing somatic practice, encouraging us to release tension, fatigue, and tightness, and to cultivate a deeper state of calm, rest, and relaxation.
Just as the seasons change, so do our diets and the nutritional needs of our bodies. In this workshop, we will focus on supporting and sustaining a healthy digestive system as we transition through the season. Our belly (like our brain) is a processing centre, synthesizing nutrients, ideas, and feelings. We need to attend to, listen to, and nourish our bellies. It is through our ability to process, feel, and discern inside the belly that we connect to our “gut instinct”—our intuition.
Through a series of simple movements connected with the breath, your body will be invited to rock, lengthen, twist, squeeze, and release; movements designed to support the elasticity and adaptiveness of your body and to nurture a healthy digestive system.
To deepen the experience, Patricia will also be offering gentle massage and playing the healing sounds of Tibetan bowls, creating a space where body, mind, and spirit can reset and restore.
With the busyness of our everyday lives, we often forget to cherish ourselves. The SATYA practice offers us a gift: to cherish and strengthen our essential life force and to support our fundamental health and vitality.
Open to all levels.

About Sophie Coatts
There are many definitions of yoga. For me my practice is about the return to the centre, the centre of my being, a journey of awareness both mental, physical and emotional. It is a practice that combines the physical (asana) with the movement of the breath (pranayama) and meditation. This practice has transformed my life.
I first came across yoga in India in 1988 when I studied Hatha Yoga with Ambu in Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu. Over the years I have studied with many inspirational teachers and explored different systems of yoga. I have been greatly influenced by the heart opening practice of Anusara yoga, the precision of Iyengar, the connection between breath and movement in Astanga Vinyasa Yoga and the deeply restorative benefits of SATYA Yoga.
I decided to train as a Yoga Teacher after a skiing accident & knee surgery in 2004. Yoga was a vital part of my recovery process, and it was then that I truly appreciated on a much deeper level the profound effects of yoga on the mind, body and spirit.
Yoga Lineage: my debt of gratitude
My practice was originally grounded in the principals of Anusara Yoga, I remain grateful to this life affirming, heart orientated practice. Today as my practice evolves and I acknowledge the differing needs of my body, I continue to study and practice Iyengar yoga and pranayama. This has taken my practice to new levels and depth of being. In the field of yoga therapeutics, I am deeply grateful to the inspirational work of Tias Little and Prajna yoga and Ellen Saltonstall’s Body Mind Ballwork, exploring somatic movement and, how to release fascial tension and open up new pathways to nourish and heal the body.
