Yin & Tonic
Monday Evenings | 7pm – 8.30pm | Willow Barn, Worcester | £120 for the full programme
Something new is coming…
Over years of working with women experiencing stress, overwhelm and burnout, one thing has become very clear: we can't think our way out of overwhelm — the body must feel safe before our minds can ease.
Most of us spend our days constantly in our heads; thinking, planning, worrying, running through to-do lists. The result? We end up living always slightly ahead of ourselves. And over time, the body carries that load too.
You might notice it as:
Tightness or tension in your neck & shoulders, hips, chest or jaw
Aches and niggles that don't fully go away
Overthinking, worry, irritability, emotional "snapping"
Feeling tired despite resting, unable to switch off
Never feeling fully present in life's joyful moments
Brain fog, indecision, poor concentration, overwhelm
What's Included in Yin & Tonic
A complete Monday evening programme designed to nourish both body and mind
50 Minutes of Yin Yoga
Each session begins with a full 50 minute Yin yoga class — slow, supported and deeply restorative, giving your body the space it needs to release and unwind.
40 Minutes of Personal Development
Following Yin, each session includes a 40 minute reflective practice session — gentle but powerful psychological tools to help you move through your week with more calm and clarity.
Gentle Yin Yoga
Slower, supported postures held for a few minutes with bolsters, bricks and blankets — working with the deeper tissues where we hold chronic tension and stress.
Psychology Practices (The Tonic)
Practical, evidence-based tools to help you understand your stress patterns, unhook from overwhelm and reconnect with what matters — led by a qualified Psychologist.
Savasana & Somatic Breathwork
Rest between poses to allow the body to absorb and rehydrate tissue, plus simple somatic and pranayama breathing practices to signal safety to your nervous system.
Women & Wild Journal
A beautiful journal included in your programme to use throughout and beyond — for reflection, intention and building greater self-awareness week by week.
Monthly Yoga Nidra
Once a month, your session will include a guided Yoga Nidra practice — a deeply restorative technique to support relaxation, rest and nervous system recovery.
Herbal Teas & Warm Connection
Enjoy herbal teas in a warm, cosy barn alongside a small, supportive group of like-minded women, with an optional WhatsApp group to keep the connection going through the week.
Why Join Us?
This is more than a yoga class. It's an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself and reignite the parts of you that may have been quietly sidelined by busy lives and full diaries.
Led by a qualified, experienced Psychologist, we blend evidence-based psychology with somatic movement and just enough space to gently stretch you. You won't just feel good on the night, you'll leave with practical tools, deeper insight and renewed clarity you can take back into real life.
"This isn't an escape from life, it's a reset for how you live it."
How does it work?
The Yin Part…
Yin yoga works with the deeper tissues of the body — often where we hold chronic tension and stress. By applying subtle pressure to areas where we tend to hold emotions (hips, neck, shoulders), it softens tightness and encourages the body to release built-up tension. Think of it as a gentle form of acupressure. This is why many people report feeling either deeply relaxed or energised after a Yin session.
Combined with simple somatic and grounding practices, this helps signal safety to the nervous system and allows the body to move out of doing mode into a more restorative state.
Many people notice:
Reduced tension and increased flexibility over time
Improved sleep
A calmer mind
Emotional release (yawning, sighing, or even tears)
Feeling more grounded and present
The Tonic Part…
Following Yin each week, you'll be guided through gentle but powerful psychological practices to use throughout your week.
Not therapy. Not heavy. Just practical ways to:
Understand your stress patterns
Unhook from overwhelm
Build healthier daily habits
Reconnect with what matters to you
Feel more grounded and present
Each session also includes a monthly Yoga Nidra practice for deep relaxation. And you'll receive your Women & Wild journal to work with throughout the programme.
Who this is for
Women who feel:
Constantly busy and unable to fully switch off
Functioning well but mentally overloaded
Tired but wired
Pulled in lots of directions, prioritising others over themselves
In need of a dedicated weekly space to breathe again
Motivated to create and sustain positive changes
Prior yoga experience is not necessary. You don't need to be flexible or "good" at yoga, you just need to show up.
It's not designed for those in crisis or working through complex trauma — although if that's something you're navigating, you're always welcome to reach out to Kate separately.
