21st century living is becoming increasingly yang in nature. We are pulled in many directions to meet multiple demands and often barely take the time to breathe. Life can be exhausting.

Act now to begin restoring your balance by adding some 'living in yin' time to your daily routine.

Join Julie to reflect on simple possibilities.....Slow down, stretch, soften into shapes, relax, breathe and 'go in' with this evening of quietening yin and restorative practice and yoga nidra.

 

7 Directions Yoga

Let's experiment with movement and breath in all seven directions: up, down, side to side, round and round, outwards and in. Join Monica  for this workshop day to practice body and breath awareness exercises, postures, pranayama and relaxation standing, sitting and lying down.

Join us for a day of fruitful, enriching, positive exploration!

10.00am - 4.00 pm 

Booking essential

Please bring lunch. Drinks provided.

Having learned from Esther Myers, Vanda Scaravelli and Mary Stewart, she leads workshops, retreats and teacher training worldwide. Monica has been offering annual summer yoga days in the UK since 1989.

What a great way to spend a few days - exploring body and mind in relationship to breath and breathing.         

Practice will explore ways to utilise attention to the movement and spaces in breathing and how this interprets into mood and influence on our energy levels.

We have the ability to ‘observe’ breathing as well as practice breathing – both of which are staple parts of most yoga classes.

We will discover – or rediscover – the function of breathing and why the yogis feel it is such an important tool in bringing mind control.

Physical practice will offer lots of choices – staged approach teaching will give enhanced working  within personal parameters  – with lots of challenges along the way!

Attention to the depth of breathing will lead from simple breath attention to complex pranayama techniques. The respiratory system will definitely benefit from a week of focus.

Mudra, Bandha, Relaxation and Meditation will generate more depth and show their influence on our resting state.

Ancient rooted philosophy underpins how we can integrate what we experience throughout this week into our everyday life.

Prepare to be breathed!
