🌪️ SHAKE THE DUST™ IS COMING TO LANCASTER 🌪️

Saturday 26th September | 2–3.30pm
📍 Soma Wellbeing, Lancaster

Lancaster, are you ready to Shake the Dust? 🔥

Expect 90 minutes of movement, music, sweat, softness and a banging soundscape as we work out… to work in.

Shake the Dust™ is so much more than a workout. It’s an embodied, somatic movement practice weaving together shaking, strength, yoga, dance, intuitive movement and deep rest.

And underneath all that movement, we’re working with the nervous system.

We move through waves of activation and settling, getting the heart beating, building energy, meeting our edges and then finding our way back towards softness and rest.

Because regulation isn’t about being calm all the time.

It’s about building the capacity to move through the different energies of life without losing connection with ourselves.

There’ll be opportunities to sweat, shake, make noise, take up space and move in ways that might surprise you, alongside moments to slow down, listen and feel.

🔥 Meet your edges.
🌪️ Shake off some of the layers.
❤️ Come back into relationship with your body.
🙌 Move alongside other humans.
✨ And have a LOT of fun doing it.

Don’t get stuck where it stays comfortable.

Come curious. Come exactly as you are. No dance or yoga experience needed, choice is always part of the practice.

It would be GREAT to have you join us.

✨🕯️ CANDLELIT YIN IS BACK 🕯️✨

And I am so ready for this 🍂

As the evenings grow darker and Autumn invites us to turn inward, our much-loved Saturday evening Yin by Candlelight returns.

📅 Saturday 17th October
⛪ St Christopher’s Church Hall, Lea
🕕 6.00–8.15pm
🤎 £20

We’ll spend 90 beautiful minutes in practice, beginning with slow, embodied movement, listening into the body, exploring the fascia and following sensation as movement gradually becomes quieter and more restful.

Then we’ll settle into longer-held Yin shapes, supported by bolsters, blocks and our lovely new snuggly blankets 🤎

Our practice will follow the rhythms of the season too. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn is associated with the Metal Element and the Lung and Large Intestine meridians, a season of breath, reflection, discernment and letting go.

Just as nature begins to release what is no longer needed, we’ll explore that invitation within ourselves: what are we ready to soften around, what might we let go of, and what do we want to make space for? 🍂

We’ll embody rest throughout the practice, exploring what it feels like to receive the support of the ground, soften into stillness and let ourselves be held rather than always holding ourselves together.

A practice of slowing down enough to listen, feel and perhaps remember that rest doesn’t have to be earned.

And afterwards, we don’t rush away. ❤️

🫖 Tea
🍰 Homemade bakes
🤎 Time to chat and connect with our lovely community

Then wrap yourself up, slip quietly off home and let the softness of the practice travel with you into a peaceful Autumn evening and, hopefully, a beautiful night’s sleep. 🌙

Come in your comfiest layers. Everything else is waiting for you, candlelight, bolsters, new snuggly blankets, rest, tea, cake and community.

Saturday evenings just got softer. 🕯️🍂

I can’t wait to welcome you back 🫂
Love Moira xx

Good morning loves ❤️

A little reminder that our Somatic Movement practice is on this evening, 6–7pm.

If you’ve been curious about the class, or thinking you might like to give it a try, you’d be so welcome to come and join us. It’s a lovely hour to slow things down, move gently, get curious about your body and simply have a bit of space for yourself.

You can read a little more about the practice here ❤️

There’s no class next Wednesday, so it would be really lovely to have you with us this evening if you can make it.

Come as you are no experience needed ❤️ xx

YOUR WEEKLY YOGA + MOVEMENT PRACTICE 🤎

Whether you’re with us every week, haven’t made it to class for a while, or you’ve been thinking about coming but haven’t quite taken that first step yet, you are so welcome 🙏🏼

Across the week there are different ways to practise with us, but everything I share is rooted in the same embodied ethos.

🌿 Embodied Yoga Flow
A breath-led yoga practice where we explore strength, mobility, balance and movement, alongside our monthly themes. Less about making the body fit a posture and more about noticing, sensing and finding your way of moving.

🌿 Moving Beyond Conditioning
Our somatic movement and calm yoga class, working more directly at a nervous system level. We slow things down and explore mainly floor-based movement, breath, rest, self-massage, fascial movement and body awareness, learning to notice the signals of the body and developing greater capacity for regulation, rest and ease.

🌿 Chair Yoga
Three opportunities each week for accessible yoga without needing to get down onto the floor. We move the whole body, work with strength, mobility, balance and breath and there is always plenty of conversation, connection and laughter too.

Because embodied practice isn’t about getting it right.

It’s about becoming more curious about your body.
Learning to listen rather than override.
Knowing when to challenge yourself and when to soften.
Moving in ways that feel supportive rather than prescribed.

And we have fun. We wobble, forget which side we’re on, occasionally lose the plot altogether and laugh 😂

To our regulars, we love you and we’re so grateful for you. You are what makes these classes the warm little communities they have become ❤️

If you haven’t been for a while, there’s no need to explain where you’ve been. Just come back when it feels right 💕

And if you’re still waiting to join us for the first time, you don’t need to be flexible, experienced or know what you’re doing.

Come as you are. You’ll be very welcome 🤗

No fixing. No forcing. No performing.

Just movement, breath, rest, curiosity and connection ❤️

If you have any questions drop me a message, leave a comment 🧘‍♀️

Warmest wishes

✨ **SHAKE THE DUST™️ — SATURDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER** ✨

The school holidays are over, summer is shifting. September is here.
Come and shake off the summer holidays and move into the new season with fresh energy.

Join me Femalebodyworkouts ✨Female Only Gym🫶🏻 in Barton, Preston.
🗓️ Saturday 5th September
⏰ 10–11am

September naturally brings transition, the seasons begin to shift, routines change, children go back to school, and we can feel that sense of life beginning to move again in a familiar way.

In this Shake the Dust™️ practice, we’ll explore **the art of transition** through the body.

Moving between effort and ease.
Energy and rest.
Holding on and letting go.

Through music, breath, shaking, intuitive movement and stillness, we’ll give the body space to shake off what it no longer needs and notice what wants to come with us into this next season.

🍂 Shake through what was. Welcome September. Begin to enter ways to come 🤍

FBW members: book through the app.

Not a member? You’re very welcome. Message Female Body Workout on Instagram or call to book a class pass £12.50

Come as you are. Move your way 💛
I can’t wait to welcome you.
Love Moira 💕

Who’s else isn’t quite ready for summer to end? ☀️

The children are heading back to school, the routines begin again, and before we know it, the colours of autumn will be arriving 🍁

But what if you gave yourself one last week of sunshine?

A week where someone else cooks for you.

Where your only job is to wake up, move your body, enjoy beautiful food, read by the pool, wander to the beach, have long conversations with wonderful women, laugh, rest, and simply breathe.

If you’ve spent the summer looking after everyone else, as a parent, grandparent, carer, partner, or simply the one who always holds everything together, perhaps it’s your turn now.

In just 4 weeks, we’ll be gathering in the beautiful Spanish countryside for The Sacred Connection Retreat.

A week of yoga, somatic movement, coaching, cacao, mantra, nourishing food, sunshine, connection and deep rest.

✨ 16–22 September 2026
📍 Benissa, Spain
💛 Just 5 spaces remaining
🏡 Shared rooms from £1,295

Maybe this is your invitation to let someone else take care of you for a change.

If your heart whispers “yes”, we’d love to welcome you. 🤍

Link in bio for all the info and photos or send me a message for a chat. Id@love to tell you all about it,
Lots of love Moira ###

Hello lovely people ❤️

After giving it lots of thought, I’ve decided to make a small change to the timetable over the summer.

As of this week, the Wednesday 7:15–8:30pm Embodied Yoga Flow class will be taking a break. Numbers have been consistently low for a number of weeks, and as we move into the summer months they’re likely to reduce even further, so it feels like the right time to pause and look to restart the class in the autumn.

The good news is that Monday 6–7pm Embodied Yoga Flow is exactly the same weekly practice and has plenty of space, so I’d love to see any Wednesday evening yogis there if Mondays work for you.

Wednesday 6–7pm Moving Beyond Conditioning - somatic practice will continue as usual and everyone is very welcome.

And throughout the summer we’ll also be gathering on Friday mornings, 7:00–7:45am, in St Christopher’s Church Garden for our Gratitude Garden practice. It’s a gentle way to begin the day with meditation, slow movement, fresh air and community. It’s donation-based, there’s no need to book—just bring your morning coffee (or tea!), your mat, and simply turn up.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Running small community classes means I sometimes have to make practical decisions like this to keep things sustainable, and I’m so grateful to each of you who continues to show up, week after week. Thank you for your understanding 🤍

I hope to see you on the mat really soon ❤️
