Hatha simply refers to the practice of physical yoga postures, meaning your Ashtanga, vinyasa, Iyengar and Power Yoga classes are all Hatha Yoga. … Hathapractices are designed to align and calm your body, mind, and spirit in preparation for meditation.
Vinyasa, also called flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together, is one of the most popular contemporary styles of yoga. It’s a broad classification that encompasses many different types of yoga, including Ashtanga and power yoga.
Power yoga is a general term used to describe a vigorous, fitness-based approach to vinyasa-style yoga. … Power yoga incorporates the athleticism of Ashtanga, including lots of vinyasas (series of poses done in sequence) but gives each teacher the flexibility to teach any poses in any order, making every class different.

Hatha simply refers to the practice of physical yoga postures, meaning your Ashtanga, vinyasa, Iyengar and Power Yoga classes are all Hatha Yoga. … Hathapractices are designed to align and calm your body, mind, and spirit in preparation for meditation.
Vinyasa, also called flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together, is one of the most popular contemporary styles of yoga. It’s a broad classification that encompasses many different types of yoga, including Ashtanga and power yoga.
Power yoga is a general term used to describe a vigorous, fitness-based approach to vinyasa-style yoga. … Power yoga incorporates the athleticism of Ashtanga, including lots of vinyasas (series of poses done in sequence) but gives each teacher the flexibility to teach any poses in any order, making every class different.

With only three days left before Christmas, Mr. Klopp, the penniless shoemaker, has only enough leather left to make one pair of shoes. He sets the leather aside to be completed the next morning. That night two cheeky elves, Bip and Bop, appear thinking they’ve arrived at Santa’s grotto. They make the leather into a splendid pair of shoes.
The next morning, Mr. Klopp awakens to discover the shoes. He sells the shoes at huge profit, gives away most of the money and uses the remainder to buy twice as much leather which he plans to make into two pairs of shoes. That night, Bip and Bop, return and once more find the leather and begin to create.
The third night Mr. Klopp stays awake to see what’s happening to the material but when Bip and Bop return, they are scared off by Mr. Klopp, who fears he will be poor again. However, everything changes when a magical man in a red and white coat arrives to reveal it was he to whom Mr. Klopp was selling the shoes.
With some Christmas Magic, Santa saves the workshop and treats his hard-working elves to some new cloths and he rewards the boys and girls for their help, with an exciting early Christmas present.
This show features original songs and energetic choreography, audience participation and gifts for all of the Children.
Ideal for age 2+ from CBBC TV Writer and children’s author, Ian Billings. The show features original songs by Richard Lamming. From the Producers of David Walliams ‘Mr Stink’. This is a festive treat, not to be missed.

More than 30 years ago, Ben Elton exploded into the national consciousness hosting Channel 4’s ground breaking Saturday Live. Now, after a 15 year absence, the Godfather of modern stand-up returns to the medium he did so much to define.
Back on the road with an all new stand-up show, Ben promises to try and make sense of a world which appears to have gone stark raving mad.
As Ben says: “The last time I toured I was still smarter than my phone. Things have definitely taken a funny turn.”
‘Just give him a stage and a microphone and Ben Elton is the best. No contest.’ The Sunday Times
‘There is nothing, absolutely nothing to beat Ben Elton live!’ Evening Standard
Chris King Robinson is predicted by many to become the standard bearer for ‘The Blues’ for years to come. His fresh, modern take on the Blues led to him playing the highly exclusive Lead Belly Festival in 2016, held at the world-renowned Carnegie Hall in New York City to a sell-out crowd.
In 2003, aged 9, Chris King Robinson’s musical career may have started when he got hold of his first Fender Stratocaster, but his love of the blues began at a much earlier age; growing up listening to guitar legends such as: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix & Buddy Guy.
Chris and the Band played a memorable gig at Eastwell last December and they are back by popular demand.

Christingle means ‘Christ’s Light’ and it is a symbol of the Christian faith. Lots of churches hold Christingle services around Christmas time.
The custom of giving out lighted candles in these services began in Germany in 1747 but it wasn’t introduced to the Anglican Church in England until 1968.
Why do people get oranges for Christmas?
St. Nicholas traveled to the house, and tossed three sacks of gold down the chimney for each of the dowries. The gold happened to land in each of the girls’ stockings which were hanging by the fire to dry. The oranges we receive today are a symbol of the gold that was left in the stockings.

Christingle means ‘Christ’s Light’ and it is a symbol of the Christian faith. Lots of churches hold Christingle services around Christmas time.
The custom of giving out lighted candles in these services began in Germany in 1747 but it wasn’t introduced to the Anglican Church in England until 1968.
Why do people get oranges for Christmas?
St. Nicholas traveled to the house, and tossed three sacks of gold down the chimney for each of the dowries. The gold happened to land in each of the girls’ stockings which were hanging by the fire to dry. The oranges we receive today are a symbol of the gold that was left in the stockings.

Enjoy visiting Belton’s main reception rooms dressed for a high society Christmas and sparkling with Art Deco style.
Immerse yourself in the jazz age as the great house welcomes High Society’s bright young things for a mysterious ‘Saturday-to-Monday’ party, sparkling with Art Deco style.
The year is 1929 and Lady Kitty Brownlow, an amateur actress, has invited her closest and most creative friends to join her in staging a murder mystery play.
The scene is set, an uninvited guest has been found dead in the Breakfast Room. The below stairs staff are discreetly watching the play unfold and are reporting back to the curious cook, Agatha, who is eager to solve the murder.
As a visitor to Belton this Christmas, we will ask you to unravel the secrets behind Kitty’s mystery play and experience the house as you’ve never seen it before.
Take the tour
Midwinter Mystery is a guided tour with a twist. Hear the story unfold and listen out for clues as one of Belton’s senior servants leads you through the basement. Then ascend the stairs to investigate the crime scene. Search for evidence to support your hunches in the family rooms before regrouping in the Chapel Drawing Room for the ‘summing up’.
Tours run daily from 11am – 3pm and tickets can be bought at Visitor Reception from 9.30am. Please note that advance booking is only available online for the tours running at 11am, 12.20pm, 1.40pm and 3pm. Advance booking is not available for any of the other tour times as tours are volunteer led and subject to availability. With limited spaces they can book up quickly, so we advise collecting a ticket on arrival to avoid disappointment. To book, please visit Belton’s ‘What’s On‘ page.
Visitors are asked to dress warmly with comfortable shoes as the house is not heated in winter. Each tour lasts 50 minutes, and includes three flights of stairs and uneven flooring in the basement. This immersive tour costs £4 for all visitors in addition to standard winter grounds admission.

Hatha simply refers to the practice of physical yoga postures, meaning your Ashtanga, vinyasa, Iyengar and Power Yoga classes are all Hatha Yoga. … Hathapractices are designed to align and calm your body, mind, and spirit in preparation for meditation.
Vinyasa, also called flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together, is one of the most popular contemporary styles of yoga. It’s a broad classification that encompasses many different types of yoga, including Ashtanga and power yoga.
Power yoga is a general term used to describe a vigorous, fitness-based approach to vinyasa-style yoga. … Power yoga incorporates the athleticism of Ashtanga, including lots of vinyasas (series of poses done in sequence) but gives each teacher the flexibility to teach any poses in any order, making every class different.
