1:1 Sessions
Private yoga sessions are available by appointment only. Contact me directly or via the contact form to make a booking.
While joining a group class is a great experience you may feel that private sessions are a more suitable option for your personal circumstances and lifestyle. The main benefit is that the sessions are entirely tailored to your specific requirements.
For example you may want to focus more on the physical side or favour a more meditative style of practice. The choice is yours!
Private sessions are also available for up to 4 people, so if you want to practice with your partner or a friend the option is available.

The Menopause Yoga classes follows one of four themes.

Restorative Yoga Classes
2nd Thursday of each month (group class) or private sessions by appointment
Restorative yoga is a deeply relaxing activity that takes place with the use of supportive props. This allows you to hold poses for much longer. Restorative yoga classes proceed at a much slower place and allow your muscles to relax and your mind to float.
Restorative yoga is very quiet and gentle and is suitable for both beginners and experienced yoga practitioners. It is great for your digestive system and supports your autonomic nervous system. During each class you can escape your worries and release all of the tension that may be holding you back.
At the end of the class we finish off with yoga nidra. Yoga nidra allows us to reach another level of consciousness between waking and sleeping and is excellent in reducing your stress levels.
Restorative yoga sessions are monthly at The Wellbeing Tree or private sessions from my home yoga room.
If you would like to book a restorative yoga session in Redditch, Worcestershire. Please get in touch with me at Sharon Gisbourne Yoga or via the contact form. To book the monthly group session click the link below:
Strength and Longevity Classes
This is a weekly class or if you would prefer 1:1, options are available.
The class incorporates strength training with yoga. The aim to build strength and flexibility. Feel empowered both mentally and physically, gain a sense of well-being and have some fun doing it!
You will need your usual yoga kit, brick, mat, blanket etc, 1kg hand weights and resistance bands. (looped and long). If you don't have hand weights you can always use a couple of cans or small water bottles. As long as they are the same weight. Or if you don't want to use weights you can still participate using body weight only.
Combining strength training and yoga is a powerful way to balance the physical and emotional changes caused by declining oestrogen levels. While strength training focuses on overloading muscles and bones to reverse age-related degeneration, yoga acts to regulate the nervous system, maintain mobility, and relieve joint stress. Together, they form a comprehensive approach to overall wellness.
These classes will absolutely improve your journey through perimenopause and beyond. Women do actually start to lose muscle mass from their mid thirties. Therefore, these classes are open to women of any age. Honestly, I wish I'd known about the importance of strength training when I was younger. I feel it's my duty to get it out there and educate early.
