Altogether Otherwise is a place where things always happen—where making, doing, and shared endeavour are all part of the fun. We run workshops, create things, and keep the Hobby House buzzing with activity. No end goals, no pressure, just a space to tinker, try, and enjoy the simple joy of doing.

We will work with the energy of the full moon through meditation, yin yoga and guided journaling, calling in everything we want to manifest for the next lunar month and releasing anything we wish to leave behind.

What is Yin Yoga

In a Yin practice, we hold each pose for between 1-5 minutes, allowing the body time and space to open softly. Yin is a practice of yielding, allowing and nourishing; slowing down and being with sensation. Yin Yoga is simple, but simple does not mean easy.

While a vinyasa practice works with our muscular ‘yang’ structures, Yin works in a more subtle realm. Accessing the deeper tissues and networks of the body.

This class is a chance to hold and be held. All levels are welcome.

What to bring

Wear the comfiest clothes you have, pyjamas are welcome (and encouraged).

Bring layers or a blanket to help you feel cocooned.

A journal or paper & a pen

Any other special items, like crystals or treasured things

All ticket charges will go towards buying eqipment for the class. Our regular classes are every Thursday at 6pm, with In Present Company.

Come along every Tuesday evening to potter around in our community garden.

Anything gardening related - you name it, we probably do it.

Long (ish) run, long ferment

For September & October, Altogether Otherwise's theme is moving and shaking.

So, to contribute to the celebration we thought how about we combine running & fermenting.

This is the plan.

Monday 15 September - gather at AO (spaces limited to 20) to kick off a kimchi then head out for a long-ish (10km run).

Monday 10 November - Return to AO with our now-matured kimchi, go for another long ish run, then join AO's Monday night cooking club to make a Kimchi-themed dinner.
