£18 per person for both yoga and gong bath, or £7 for yoga and £11 for the gong bath
Enjoy an evening of yoga with Terry Bruce, followed by a deeply relaxing meditative gong bath with Alexandra Simson, and finishing with a hot spiced tea and chocolate treat. Join us for this special new year experience.
This invigorating session will sweep away the cobwebs of midwinter festivities and encourage us to let go of the chatter in our minds, while we bring our awareness deeply into our body, and the present moment.
This yoga session is suitable for anyone with sufficient mobility to get up and down from the floor and a wonderful preparation for the deep relaxation of the gong bath…
For your gong bath:
Bring something to lie on (like a yoga mat), a blanket and a pillow.
Take your spot – lie back (or let me know if you prefer to sit in a chair).
Relax and enjoy the soothing sounds of the gong.
To book your place for either the yoga, the gong session or both – please email: alex@story-well.co.uk or call 07980 197737.
Please note that gong baths are not suitable for anyone who has had surgery in the last 6 weeks. Any questions, feel free to contact Alex.
Please arrive on time as doors will be closed at 8.00pm once the gong bath has started.

The Police are reminding people to be on their guard against telephone fraudsters following incidents in Somerset.
In the latest incident the scammers posed as officers from the Metropolitan Police, claiming that the victim’s grandson had been arrested for using a cloned copy of their bank card, encouraging the victim to confirm their bank card details.
In another call they claimed that there was a major investigation into the victim’s bank and local post office, involving counterfeit money. He was asked to support the investigation by withdrawing cash and checking the serial numbers of the notes. They claimed it was fake cash and said a courier would be sent to collect the counterfeit notes for forensic examination. In a third incident the potential victim thwarted the scammer by stopping the phone call.
Neither the police nor the banks will ask you for banking details or PIN numbers on the phone. Similarly, they would never send a so-called ‘courier’ to collect bank cards or money. Our message is – don’t discuss your finances with anyone who calls you out of the blue, even if they claim to be a police officer or a representative from a bank fraud department. Genuine callers will be happy for you to make an appointment to visit them at a bank branch or police station. They will never ask you to withdraw cash on their behalf; arrange for cash to be collected by a courier; ask for details about your bank card; or ask for the PIN on your card.
If you know someone who may be vulnerable to this type of offence, please speak to them and share our crime prevention tips and remind them of the threat from telephone fraudsters.
People who receive a call on their landline and are asked to contact their local police station or bank to verify the caller’s details ideally need to put the receiver down and not touch it for five minutes, just in case the fraudster has kept the line open. Ensure you have a dialling tone before re-using. Ideally use another phone such as a mobile phone or a neighbour’s phone and use 101 to verify the call.
We would also appeal to taxi drivers who are asked to collect parcels – especially from the elderly – to be vigilant and contact us if they are suspicious. If you believe you have been scammed by a telephone caller, please contact us, quoting reference 5219299839
