The Luna Shala

You can join me for small group strength training sessions each Saturday at The Luna Shala in Ilkeston. I have new one to one slots opening in June, check the newsletter for more information.

The Luna Shala opened in early 2023, based at The Old Baptist Church, 170 Norman Street, Ilkeston, Derbyshire, DE7 8NR.

The Luna Shala is a family of like minded businesses who work together to offer a wide range of healing practices including:

Well Women Therapeutic Yoga, Cacao Ceremonies, Sound Healing, Pregnancy Yoga, Reiki, Hypnobirthing, Postnatal Yoga, Seasonal Foraging Circles plus women’s Strength sessions.

Together, we offer treatments to nourish your body, mind and soul.

The Luna Shala is easily accessible from Nottingham, it’s just off the A610.

What to do in the area

Near to The Luna Shala, there are lots of delights.

Eating…

If you want a spot of brunch or hot drink and a cake after your session, head to The Ilkon Community Café.

Art…

The café is based in The ILKON Gallery, ILKON is the home of Ilkeston Contemporary Arts which is housed in the former Methodist church on Heanor Road, bringing creative arts to the community and wider region. 

ILKON is not a made-up word, it is from the old English ‘ IL’KON ‘ meaning ‘each one, every one’ and appears in Geoffrey Chaucer’s ‘The Second Nun’s Tale’ about the life of Saint Cecilia - who by coincidence graces one of the beautiful stained-glass windows of the church which had been generously donated by the local community in 1936.

It’s well worth a visit but you do need to book, through their booking system here.

Walking…

From The Luna Shala, you can head to the Bennerley Viaduct. Bennerley Viaduct is an iconic landmark in the East Midlands. Standing 20 metres high above the valley of the River Erewash, and a quarter of a mile long, it is no surprise it is known as The Iron Giant of the Erewash Valley.
