New Yoga classes at The Chapel

Did you know? The Chapel will soon be welcoming a Thursday morning Yoga group run by Maria. Have a look, and why not book today?

I’m excited to be starting a new yoga class after Easter on Thursday mornings at 10am in The Chapel on Wharf Road. Do have a look at my website and let me know if you would like to join for a free trial class.

My classes are suitable for everyone, especially those managing back problems. The focus is on restoring strength and elasticity to the spine. No class is ever completely alike! So come a long to a few before you decide if this is the right class for you.

Art News from The Chapel

Did you know? Jono and Debi Retallick are two of our Artists in Residence at The Chapel in Ash Vale. As well as local community arts (remember the giant heart lantern at Love & Light?) their work reaches much further afield, both nationally and internationally.

This photo is of Jono working on the ‘Fields of EveryWhen’ project. Here is one of the many embroideries from the Royal school of Needlework, ready to be photographed and digitised to go on the 25m high balloon!.. See more at g-foew.art

Lecturers Geraldine Latty and Carey Luce from the London School of Theology (LST) brought some students to the studio at The Chapel to record a new song written by Geri, Carey and Matt Weeks called ‘Holy Spirit Will You Fall On Us’. It’s written in 4 parts for a choir to sing. Hopefully we’ll be trying it out at St Mary’s soon and see how it goes!
