Contemplating why so many of us still love coming to class, especially at this time of year, I came up with this list:

 the filtered light through the front windows which casts a soft reflection of the Spanda logo on the walls,
 the central heating that anticipates your arrival,
Snuggly blankets for Savasana (and Yin!),
that grounding smell of incense that greets you at the door,
the calm voice and supportive guidance of our teachers,
an occasional bowl ding or collective ‘om’, and

So often I hear other’s echoing my thoughts when I might have struggled a hour or so early to get to class…
‘I’m so glad I came…it’s just what I needed!’

Whatever motivates you to come to your mat, online or in the Studio during Autumn – I hope it’s nourishing and gives you just what you need!

With love and presence – Kate & the Spanda Team

If you are coming to 4.30pm Yin on the 7th, you may want to allow extra time for parking and a short walk. We have a map on our Community Notice Board in the kitchen or visit the High Voltage website.

New in the Spanda Shop
If you have been on a Silent Retreat with Ava then you may be familiar with awakening teacher Adyashanti from his poems that are shared. We now have two more books from Adyashanti:
True Meditation and The Most Important Thing.
***
You may also have seen/heard me speak on Socials recently about the delicious smell so many notice when they come into Spanda and the various incenses we use – explaining each type and their benefits.
As well as the old favourites (Tribe Earth, Palo Santo, Copal) we now have a new incense for sale – traditional natural incense sticks from Maroma which come in a variety of scents.

Teacher updates
Lovely Laura is recovering well from her knee surgery and will have some time off to convalesce. Whilst she’s out of action, her classes will be covered by Marta, Shanan (Gentle Hatha & Yin) and Nea (Yin & Myofascial Release).

Silent Retreat dates
We have locked in the dates for Retreats in the second half of the year – visit our Silent Retreats page for details.
And if you’d like to dip your toe into silence before you commit to 3 days or longer, then the 1 day Silent Retreat with Ava at the end of the month is the. perfect opportunity – see below for details.
