’In stillness, the world is restored’ Lao Tzu

We could all benefit from more stillness in our lives. This month’s pop up yin and restorative practice with Julie will focus on returning to the self. Cultivating our curiosity as sensations, thoughts and emotions arise, and ultimately surrendering to the perfection which can be explored within stillness. 

The session will include breathwork, meditation, yin, restorative and slow explorations in yoga. 

All are welcome for this floor based practice. 

 

Summer is traditionally a season of 'doing'. As we move our lives outdoors, activity can take over.
As the heat and busyness increases, there is the potential for excess excitable rajasic energy to rise to the fore.
 

Take a break and enjoy a little 'being' time with this half day of yoga explorations. 
Enjoy cooling heart centred practices, breathwork,meditation and nidra..... and consider how some of the philosophical teachings of yoga can help you avoid energy 'burn out'.

All are welcome to join. 

FULLY BOOKED - WAITING LIST ONLY!! 

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!
