XAOS (CCG event space and store) and CALM (Bespoke Yoga studio)
XAOS (pronounced Chaos) and CALM is a joint venture, so called because it seems to characterise our life and so many peoples’ busy lives in the 21st century. We all long for that sense of Calm that so often eludes us. All of creation came from Chaos, all order comes from Xaos. We aim to provide a small, welcoming haven of relaxation for adults, young people and children where body and mind can develop positively.
HARMONISING OPPOSITES
Both my Partner and I have a background as Secondary School teachers. We both hold enhanced disclosure for working with children and young people. Whilst a ccg space and a Yoga studio appear very different our ethos is absolutely in agreement, an engaged, enjoyable leisure time makes us more relaxed yet focused people. You can find out more about Xaos ccg store on facebook: Xaos Games Gateshead. As well as events for established games players there are how to do it workshops for all ages and a variety of games. During 2012 we will also be introducing day workshops for children and young people and a bookable summer school. Xaos now holds ADVANCED STORE STATUS. Find out more at www.xaosgames.co.uk or find us on facebook.
CALM Yoga Studio: The little place for those who value a bespoke approach.
ALL LIFESTYLES
Opening with a launch event on Saturday 11th June 2011, Calm Yoga Studio is a response to my belief that Yoga should be as accessible to all as is humanly possible. Changes in the way we work and bring up our children mean that we need an increasingly FLEXIBLE approach to how and when we practice Yoga. Calm Yoga Studio meets your needs perfectly by combining scheduled classes with bookable sessions where the cost can be split with up to 4 people. This allows you to practice with friends or family, creating your own unique group, helping you to feel comfortable, spend quality time together and establish home practice more easily. Bookable slots can be changed from week to week to fit around shift patterns or other committments and are priced at less than the average massage therapy!
ALL AGES
In addition to sessions covering a wide range of Yoga methods and all ability and life situation ranges for you we are also offering Meditation and Art programmes where the circulatory benefits of breath techniques and healthy mind practices are realisable without physical Yoga ..this means that even if you struggle with Yoga movements or don’t feel it would be of interest to you personally, you can still benefit from being involved in a social group that helps to maintain mental activity and physical health. Current research into Alzheimers and age related memory loss advises activity that combines mental stimulation with hand to eye co ordination. These sessions are available on request.
A WIDE PROGRAMME FOR CHILDREN
Early introduction to Yoga can help children enormously throughout the growing up process and throughout adulthood. At Calm Yoga Studio there are weekly scheduled classes for Pregnancy .. assisting child development even before birth and for babies and parents/carers to de stress and exercise effectively together.
During holiday periods workshops and summer schools for pre school children, primary age children to 7 years, 8 years and over as well as specific classes for teenagers will be available. In addition to these we are hoping to begin FAMILY YOGA DAYS running from 2012 onwards so please register your interest as soon as possible.
ALL WELCOME
Integration is essential to build understanding and tolerance. Yogalution.co.uk is passionate about encouraging integration. At present our centre does not have easy access for all as it is up one flight of stairs, however home visits and outreach work can be arranged for anyone wishing to practice Yoga who is unable to access our facilities. Children and adults with learning needs are welcome to all scheduled classes and are positively encouraged.
