Relaxing into supported and bolstered postures creates space not only for our physical body, our joints, but also creates space for a quietening of the mind; a softening through the physical, to the mental and beyond.A gentle movement towards stillness, this three hour workshop will focus on relaxation as a tool to help us cope with daily stresses in a healthy way, whilst encouraging flexibility and a sense of 'letting go'.

We will finish with a guided yoga nidra. To book, please send payment along with booking form. Places on a 1st come 1st serve basis. Please contact me if you need a booking form.

'Adjusting The Practise' Ashtanga Yoga Workshop
Exploring healthy alignment and an opportunity for investigative self inquiry; we will completely break down the practises of Surya Namaskar A & B from the ashtanga yoga system looking at areas such as 'rolling through the toes to updog' , how far we step back/step forward, floating back! etc., in order to deepen our own knowledge. We will learn to adjust each individual posture (where relevant) contained within A&B, eg, down dog, warrior 1 etc., and begin to 're-learn' our own approach to practising for where each of us are 'now'. We will explore simple observation and adjustment techniques for a safer and deeper experience for yourself and verbal and hands on adjustments for sharing with others, thus helping to maximise the amazing benefits these salutations and postures within them, have to offer. This workshop is suitable for anyone wishing to deepen their knowledge and understanding of yoga, and for those wishing to share or who are already teaching yoga, but perhaps need more knowledge and confidence for adjusting. To book, please send payment along with booking form. Places on a 1st come 1st serve basis. Please contact me if you need a booking form.
