What it’s all about?
December can be a month filled to the brim with social engagements, shopping and visiting. The pressures and preparations of the festive season take forefront and we can be left feeling a little less than merry when we do eventually stop and slow down. This workshop is a Christmas gift from you to you. It’s a chance to slow down, switch off and catch up with your calm as you hit the pause button for an afternoon of relaxation.
What can I expect from this workshop?
Beginning with a calming pranayama (breathing technique) designed to help you settle into our beautiful surroundings we will then move onto a Yin Yoga class inspired by the water element. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine the water element is all about releasing stagnation and creating more flow and movement of energy throughout our bodies. It’s also about honouring this time of year as nature slows down and heads into hibernation for a few months, we are encouraged to do the same. Through resting and restoring we can be ready to embrace the motivation and growth of the seasons to come.
In our Yin Yoga workshop, we will hold poses for a longer period of time as we work on the connective tissues and joints – offering them the opportunity to strengthen and lengthen in a safe and supported manner. Finally, our workshop will end with a 30-minute Yoga Nidra practise. Yoga Nidra means yogic sleep and offers a deeply meditative relaxation experience for the whole body and mind.
After our workshop there will be some festive nibbles and a warm drink giving you the chance to have a bit of a chat with likeminded souls.
