If you enjoy a group class then why not try a Saturday Morning Workshop, or a short course, you will find a few details about events and courses below. All of these events are designed for ordinary mortals, and although packed with information and practice they are run in an informal and light hearted way.
The workshops are run at Sylvania Hall for a map see www.sylvaniahall.co.uk arrivals are from 9.30am for a 10 am start, we finish at 1pm. Refreshments (and chocolate biscuits) are included.
11th February 2012
A warming practice that will fill you with energy and put a spring in your step. This practice will focus on backbends, the inhalation and invigorating pranayama's (breathing practices).
Stepping into Summer
19th May 2012
A practice for the legs in which we will find most of the major muscle groups, and perhaps some you had forgotten about. Followed by a relaxing stepped pranayama practice.
Making the Most of Matsyendrasana
29th September 2012
This practice could also have been called "Maintaining Your Immune System." As the winter beckons with all its attendant sneezes and diseases we shall look particularly at ways of stoking the digestive fire (agni), considered important to a healthy immune system. We shall therefore be focused on twists, and some cleansing and stimulating pranayamas (breathing practices).
A Winters Tale
10th November 2012
As the dormancy of winter approaches this practice will focus on the exhalation and the BK (pause after exhalation) to create a sense of lightness in the body, and space in the mind. This practice will primarily focus on twists and forward bends.
