I’m looking forward to welcoming you (by appointment only) to

Aura Homoeopathy Clinic
at The Wellness Hub, Caerphilly Miners Centre
St Martin’s Road, Caerphilly, CF83 2WW

Tuesday 8.30am – 7.00pm from 12 September 2023.

Homoeopathy is a complementary system of medicine which involves treating the individual with highly diluted substances, mainly in tablet form, derived from plants, minerals, animals and other naturally occuring substances. The aim of this treatment is to trigger the body’s own natural system of healing.

If this is your first time attending a homoeopathic consult, you can learn more about what to expect from a consult.

Aura Yoga with Geri will be attending this event if you fancy popping along for a chat and some well deserved respite from your role as a carer. There will be be information, support, entertainment and delicious food available.

I know first hand how rewarding and difficult caring for loved ones can be. Yoga and Homoeopathy helped me cope with some of the many emotions that overwhelmed me as a care giver.

My mental and physical health suffered and as a result, impacted my family and friends too. I often felt exhausted, from worry, lack of sleep, juggling work, family life and role of carer.I lost interest in activities that once brought me joy. In fact I became full of apathy, irritable, angry and frustrated.

I found my encounters with healthcare providers and various professional agencies frustrating while sourcing care, much needed help and advocating for my loved one.

Caring can be extremely isolating, so why not give yourself a well deserved break and pop along to this Carers’ Rights Day event, organised by CCBC, at Blackwood RFC., Thursday 24th November, anytime between 10:30am – 3pm

We all had so much fun in the sun at Rest Bay, Porthcawl, to celebrate the occasion of Aurayoga with Geri’s Silver Jubilee..

16 of us for Yoga on the Beach
A few less for a Sea Swim
All of us walked 13k+ steps
Enjoyed a delicious lunch at Beales Chip Shop
Ice cream, coffee, hot chocolate as we walked back to Rest Bay.

I consider myself richly blessed and am so grateful to you all for being part of the journey.

Thank you to those who attended the celebrations. I think everyone enjoyed immensely as we ended up staying all day! Plus the smiles and shenanigans are plain to see on these photos.

They say ‘your vibe attracts your tribe’ and this is certainly true of our Aura Yoga with Geri community.

My yogi tea quote today:
“Love is life. Life is love”
I certainly feel the love.

Thank you for all your messages, cards, gifts, lunch and sweet treats.

I thought I’d share a few of the messages with you:

`I have not known you very long but enjoy your classes and the warmth you create… in life, love and emotion. Thank you for sharing your joy.`

‘Congratulations – what a huge achievement, it demonstrates how successful you are. I have only been enjoying your yoga classes for a few weeks but can see why it has been running for so long. Thank you and well done.`

`Big congratulations Ger, what an amazing achievement. I’m so happy that I’ve joined your Yoga Family and am absolutely loving it! You are a beautiful person both inside and out and this shines through. Thank you for welcoming me.`

`Thanks for the last 18 months of classes. I’ve really enjoyed your friendly teaching style and warm, welcoming manner. Also I love the friendships that the classes engender. Thank you.`

`Congratulations I have only been attending a short time but really enjoy and look forward to class.`

`I am so glad I found Geri’s yoga class and wish I had found it years ago. I always feel uplifted after class, it’s such an enjoyable experience, we laugh and chat as well as do yoga. Congratulations on 25 years. You are truly an inspiration.`

`I’ve been coming to yoga for many years but Geri’s class is certainly the best. She is very mindful of anyone’s limitations and will suggest alternatives to enable us to stay safe. I enjoy the comaraderie of the others so much, it is a very enjoyable experience.`

We hope to revisit Rest Bay in January for more of the same.

I am really looking forward to restarting our yoga sessions both at Plas Mawr and at Studio 54.

However, we are bound by The Welsh Government Guidance on COVID-19, which came in to effect from 26 December.

The Guidance says:

Keep Wales safe:

• • get both jabs and when invited, get your booster
  • limit your contacts
  • outdoors is safer than indoors
  • do a lateral flow test before seeing others
  • if you have symptoms, self-isolate and book a PCR test
  • wear a face covering

From 26 December

• up to 50 outdoor and 30 indoor spectators can attend community sports events
• 2 metre social distancing will be required in offices and all public premises
• maximum of six people can meet in public premises
• licenced premises will need to take additional reasonable measures to protect customers and staff
• a maximum of 30 people can attend indoor events and a maximum of 50 people at outdoor events
• people attending weddings or civil partnership receptions or wakes should take a lateral flow test before attending.
• nightclubs will close

As our venues can only hold less than 30, we are ok to go ahead with our yoga classes, and I am very much looking forward to them restarting and seeing you all again.

As always, please practise caution, if you are feeling unwell, it is always safer to stay home.

BBC Wales online article on Menopause and their visit to Menopause Cafe Blackwood last month (October 2021)

Thank you Gareth Lewis, BBC Wales Westminster Correspondent and cameraman for joining us to chat to attendees, find out about Menopause and discover what happens at a Menopause Cafe.

Ladies you were fantastic! It’s vital these stories are told to raise awareness, for education and support, to act as a beacon of hope to others and for policies to be implemented.

Bistro 8 is our new venue and the staff were so accommodating – good quality coffee and delicious cake too.

Our next Menopause Cafe Blackwood is scheduled on Thursday 25th November 2021 12.00-1.30pm.

A big thank you to Sarah Williams @EqualityCounts for signposting us to BBC Wales.

A Menopause Cafe creates time and space to discuss menopause without expectations or experts. It is an open, respectful and confidential space where people can express their views safely, over a cuppa.

All ages and genders welcome. Join us for some or all of the event.

Please register your interest by messaging me or contact me via geri@aurayoga.co.uk

The first Menopause Cafe was founded by Rachel Weiss in Perth, Scotland in the summer of 2017.
