Free Veggie and Fermenting Workshops

This autumn I'm teaming up with Norwich Farmshare to present some cooking workshops. Designed with people on low income in mind, we're starting with four workshops on two themes: Making Vegetables Delicious and Fermenting Vegetables. These events take place in Norwich. Go to their Events page for more details and to book.

My weekly classes are focused on the 40 plus age group. I offer Live and Online classes, designed to make you feel good and put a smile on your face. Go to my Yoga and Stretch Exercise Classes page for details and booking.

LIVE Fermentation Workshop

 At last!

I'm presenting a live in-person Fermentation Workshop next month.

It's an opportunity to meet up, find out more about fermentation, taste some of my yummy early autumn crop ferments. I'll guide you on how to make your own and you'll leave with a jar of fermenting vegetables, a comprehensive handout and a smile, confident in your newfound understanding. More details on my Cooking Workshops page.

Exercise Classes online, then live

I know many of you want to return to live group exercise classes, but Covid rules are such that we remain online for classes a further 6 weeks.

So, I'm starting a new series of Exercise Classes on Zoom from 12th April. Details are on my Yoga & Stretch Exercises page. Please email me if you'd like to join us and I'll add you to the link list, and I'm happy to answer your questions.

If you're wary of Zoom, this is what participants have said:

I am glad that I tried your Zoom classes; not too much waving and greeting...an informative and friendly atmosphere

I’m doing a huge amount more throughout the week than I ever did by going to live weekly exercise classes and they have become part of my daily routine

how wonderful your classes are for the whole body....preparing, massaging, stretching and strengthening, breathing and relaxation

A Spring tonic for your liver

Your liver can get a little overwhelmed at this time of year as energies start to rise. It's the best time to consider a gentle detox. Eliminate all processed foods and sugar, cut out animals products. Boost your vegetable intake and replace breakfast a few times this week with a green smoothie. My ultimate smoothie is made with these ingredients:

1/2 lemon, zest and juice

1/2 Apple

Handful Kale/cavelo nero

Fresh Parsley

1 tsp Spirulina

1 tsp Maca powder (optional)

150ml filtered water

 

Kale or another brassica for its iron and magnesium for cognitive function

Lemon juice to cut through fats, while the zest contains the most vitamin C

Spirulina or another green superfood, rich in minerals, cleansing for liver and a digestive system booster.

Maca is thought to be an energy booster 

Place the ingredients in a bullet-style blender to create a yummy green smoothie your liver will give the heads up to. Remember to drink within 15 minutes of making, otherwise it starts to lose its magic.

Enjoy!

It's never too late to start exercising

Studies show that being fit is about more than mere muscle strength. How well we can lift a weight can tell us as much about the strength of our neural pathways as it can about the strength of our muscles. That's way I offer a range of types of exercise classes. Stretching is as important as Strengthening muscles, so I incorporate both in any exercise session. And how we breathe, how we focus and coordinate when we exercise and move, how we hold ourselves is vital too.

So join my classes for March and feel the difference.

(and get yourself ready for playing frisbee!)

Ginger/Chamomile Compress, online

Join us for an ultimately relaxing Valentine's special of a Ginger or Chamomile compress. It'll be in the comfort and privacy of your own home, with or without a partner. The latest Zoom experience! Go to the Ginger compress page for details.

Friday 12th February 3pm - 4.30pm

Join in with my Online Exercise Classes

We all know we need to keep active, for our physical and mental wellbeing. And we all know, despite our good intentions, that our resolutions to keep moving often don't last.

Commit to my online exercise classes now and you'll find a familiar face to help keep you on track through until Spring.

I've added a new regular class, so now you have a choice of 1, 2 or all 3 classes. They're all slightly different, but all just as easy to access live at 10am on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, while the recordings are available for you to watch at any time.

The cost is £22 a month (4 weeks).

Go to my Exercise Classes page for details.

Fermented Foods, great for your gut and immune system

 

Now is a great time to make sauerkraut or kimchi. Check out my versions of Suffolk Kimchi and Nasturtium "Capers" on my Recipes page.

I'm planning some Fermentation workshops in the New Year, either live in Suffolk, or on Zoom. Let me know if you're interested.....email here

Fermented foods are easy to make, once you know how, and they're great for gut health and also support your immune system. Cabbage ferments are also rich in Vitamin C as well as good gut bacteria.

Exercise Classes move online

 What a way to plan! As Boris has scuppered plans for live exercise classes, I'm moving my classes online (Zoom) for the next 6 weeks.

Yoga for All starts this Tuesday (3rd November) 10 - 11am

Stretch & Strengthen starts Thursday 5th November 10 - 11am 

Classes are available on Zoom, live at those times or available for you to catch-up at a time to suit you (and watch again). Cost is £35 for 6 weeks of classes. email me to book.
