Join us for Sunday slow flow yoga and meditation in The Tipi, followed by a nourishing brunch and refreshments served by the wonderful folk at The Spire and Spoke.

Esther Abrey Yoga is a 800+ hour qualified experienced yoga teacher, and local fan of the Spire and Spoke (the feta and onion pizza has fuelled many an offroad ride home back up Howe Hill!) Originally trained in ashtanga vinyasa, Esther’s style now blends her studies into mindfulness, yoga for athletes and functional movement, yoga for mental wellbeing, nidra, and other modalities with her experience teaching aerial yoga, accessible yoga for adults with both physical and learning disabilities, pregnancy and postnatal yoga, kids yoga, and open classes for both seasoned and newcomers to the practise.

Nestled in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Spire and Spoke welcomes cyclists, walkers, and now yogis to enjoy it’s unique rustic tipi with stunning views onto the Watlington Hill ‘spire’.
