Yesterday we held our Yoga, Buns and Bliss event at Houlton School – a relaxed and enjoyable day combining yoga and baking in a beautiful setting in Rugby.
It was the second year running that I’ve partnered with Paul from Rugby Real Bread, and it was a fab to work together again. Paul led two hands-on baking sessions, where everyone had the chance to make their own hot cross buns from scratch – mixing, kneading and shaping the dough with plenty of tips and encouragement along the way. The kitchen smelt amazing!
We flowed from baking to movement with a steady, feel-good yoga class – designed to gently energise the body and bring focus to the mind.
Lunchtime was simple and delicious. We gathered on the top floor of the Transmission Building and shared Paul’s homemade focaccia with houmous, fresh fruit and veg, while soaking in the views across Houlton.
The day ended with candlelit yoga and yoga nidra – a calm and restful practice to wind down. With blankets, soft lighting and time to be still, it was a quiet, grounding way to close the day.
It was a fabulous to welcome everyone, and such a lovely mix of movement, making and moments of pause. Thank you to those who joined us – and to Paul for another collaboration!
