Empowerment & Inner Peace: A Yin & Yang Self-Defence Workshop for Women

SUNDAY 8TH DECEMBER, 10AM – 12NOON
Rosebird Centre, Stratford-upon-Avon
Be Prepared. Be Confident.

Ever feel unsafe walking through a car park at night? Not sure how to defend yourself against unwanted attention or advances? Learn self-defence and breathing techniques which can equip you with the skills to protect yourself, and to help you feel empowered and more in control.

The Yin & Yang Approach

This workshop blends the yin (gentle, receptive energy) and yang (active, assertive energy) to create harmony within. Together, we’ll explore how these complementary forces can work together to empower you—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Join us and experience the powerful fusion of strength and serenity. Leave feeling empowered, peaceful, and ready to take on whatever life brings your way. There’s no need for previous experience.

Self-Defence with Confidence

Learn practical, easy-to-remember techniques to protect yourself in any situation. Our expert instructor will guide you through simple, effective moves that build your self-confidence, coordination, and physical awareness. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, you’ll leave feeling more capable and ready to face the world around you.

Inner Peace through Mindfulness

In addition to physical techniques, we’ll introduce mindfulness practices that help you stay calm, centred, and grounded in moments of stress. Explore the principles of inner peace through breathing exercises, qigong moving meditation, and self-awareness practices that help you remain balanced and calm, both inside and out.
