It was February and very cold. Imagine not having a roof over your head or anything good to eat. We were fundraising for Refugee Community Kitchen.

Though it is too late to win a retreat you can still donate for the next couple of days to: https://www.justgiving.com/page/yogarocksfebruaryfundraiser

Check them out here: https://refugeecommunitykitchen.org/

Two very happy prospective guests won retreats and they are looking forward to their holidays with us this season!

Over February we splurged on the socials with thought provoking stuff (resources below) to provoke thoughts and hopefully action. Refugee Community Kitchen is always looking for volunteers if you feel inspired to dive in and lend a hand in Calais. Their website has a really good practical guide to volunteering: https://refugeecommunitykitchen.org/volunteer-calais

As a special treat we were really grateful that, Yoga Rocks friend and pelvic power expert, Jane Collins Zoomed a special workshop on Perimenopause, Menopause and Pelvic Power for anyone who is, was or will be experiencing menopause. She is a joy to watch and knows soooo much. There aren’t many teachers around with such practical and joyful insights into anatomy. Do check her out for any pelvic power workshops coming up on https://yogawithjanecollins.co.uk/
