About the Presenters:

 

Hollie Kelly

Hollie has practised Dru Yoga since 2015.  She then completed her 350 hours of Teaching Training in 2021/22.  “Dru Yoga is so much more than Yoga”, it works a lot with our Energetic Body, rather our physical body, like many other popular types of Yoga.  This, coupled with affirmations, produces a very powerful, yet gentle practice.

Join Hollie on Sunday when she will start our day by taking us through a gentle Energy Block Release sequence ‘Clearing Our Pathway For Change’.  As we head towards Spring, this sequence of movements helps us clear away anything that may be in our path, blocking our way from obtaining our goals and inspirations.
