Yoga Weekend Workshop Sunday 12th October 2014 2 – 4.30pm at Preston Village Hall
How Can Yoga Help Weightloss?
Yoga can be used as a physical exercise – just like any other… but in this workshop we’ll also look at the other aspects of yoga that can truly alter patterns of behaviour linked to comfort eating and image perceptions. Not all serious and sweaty – we’ll take a lighthearted view at accepting ourselves as we are and develop strategies to embrace change in a fun and loving way.
Do Yoga! Weekend Workshops are great for new and existing students. Those already attending classes can learn a fresh application for yoga or inspire their home practice. They are ‘stand alone’ classes, taught from the basics up, and are ideal for people new to yoga – so why not come along and give it a try?
They are fantastic value at £15 per 2 1/2 hour session.
Please contact Deb King here to book
PLEASE BOOK EARLY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT – ONLY 16 PLACES AVAILABLE.

A group from the club enjoyed a wonderful “day of weather” Travelling from Luffenham at 7am and returning early evening, we went through down pouring rain, gusts of wind, and sand blows and even intervals of sunshine.
Andrew James led the group to different locations and projects throughout the day, including a local pub lunch. The thought of sitting in cars eating our sandwiches didn’t have a great appeal!
We began at the Staithe beach with all manner of boats, fishing boats, rowing boats which looked as if they had been there for a few generations, elegant yachts and all manner of outworn machinery, ropes and chains. Stacks of lobster pots and piles of junk brought a different dimension to our pictures – certainly out of our comfort zone.
Moving along the beach to the breakwater, there were spectacular storm clouds, windsurfers and blowing sand.
The dunes along the coast at Brancaster contained many half buried beach huts and with the marram grass sparkling in the sunshine resulted in great pictures.
Andrew gave lots of help individually, as well as group teach-ins, we all found the day so rewarding. Grateful thanks go to him from all – it was a splendid balance of learning and fun.
Although it sounds as though the weather was against us, we have all done the “beach in sunshine” photos. This Sunday brought lots of dramatic scenes and extended our knowledge of how to set up for them.
Some of the photos will be displayed at the next Camera Club meeting on Tuesday, May 20th at 8pm in the Community Centre, North Luffenham School, the theme being A Good Day Out. Everyone is very welcome to come along.
Andrew’s Website is well worth a visit. Go to – andrewjamesphotos.co.uk
