A Seasonal Journey In each of our sessions spread over the year, we’ll explore one of the female archetypes. In spring, we’ll meet your youthful Warrioress. In summer, the captivating Lover. Dignified Queen will enter the stage in autumn, and in the depths of winter, we’ll encounter the wise and crafty Sorceress. Sessions will be influenced by nature’s cycles and the elements of fire, water, air and earth. Movement with Meaning A blend of strength, flexibility, and movement tailored to each archetype, with beautifully curated soundtracks to enhance the mood of each session. Guided Meditations We’ll sink into deep relaxation with guided visualisation exercises to connect with each archetype’s energy and the season. Storytelling Stories and myths will be woven seamlessly and hypnotically throughout the class. Community Although sessions can be purchased individually, my hope is to have a consistent group, so that we can get to know each other over the year. Weyward is a word with its roots in Old English. In the context of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, it refers to the three witches, also known as the “weird sisters” or “weyward sisters,” who are figures of fate or destiny. It can also mean to follow one’s inclinations. If your inclination is to join me for this wonderful workshop series, email info@courtyardclinic.com, or call 01453 548119.

Q: Weyward Sisters

With Jo Turner An experience, not just an exercise class. Weyward Sisters is a new offering. A class where movement meets music, where stretching and strength intertwine with storytelling, and where the seasons, the elements, and a bit of magic shape the way we move. After nearly 30 years of teaching movement and body awareness under the Pilates banner, I’m bringing together some of the parts I secretly love most. I’ve created a series of four special workshops, just for women. This isn’t a medical service, but there’s plenty of evidence for the benefits of movement, meditation, and a sense of community. Think of these workshops as a spellbinding blend. Yes, you’ll move. Yes, you’ll stretch. But you’ll also breathe in rhythm with incredible music, sink into meditations, and tap into something deeper – those forgotten, powerful parts of yourself that rarely get a look-in amidst the work emails, the laundry, and remembering everyone’s birthdays. Over the past five years, in my work as a One Of Many Women’s Coaches, I’ve worked with female archetypes – a way of exploring different aspects of yourself beyond ‘the responsible one’, ‘the kind one’, or ‘the one who sorts out the drama.’ In Weyward Sisters, we’ll welcome back those hidden parts, discovering layers of strength, grace, and maybe some wildness along the way.
