FAMILY YIN & RESTORATIVE YOGA
With Sofie Swindlehurst
Friday 1st May. 6:30pm – 7:30pm
Cost: £10 (concession £7.50)
This family class runs alongside the monthly Yin & Restorative but is geared more toward those who want to bring teens and older juniors – or indeed toward they who want to bring their elders! – for shared space and serenity.
Yin is calm and peaceful. Yang is active and dynamic. Of course we need both but our swift-paced world tends to find life a little too heavy in yang! So here we bring balance, and practice the transition back to peace.
Yin Yoga targets the fascia (connective body tissue), opening up tight, dense areas that can build up over time. Blending yin with restorative yoga – where the body is entirely supported for the deepest rest – allows us to ease out, realign and thoroughly restore.
Feel free to drop in or contact Sofie: 07967 820260

YIN & RESTORATIVE YOGA
With Sofie Swindlehurst
Friday 8th May. 6:30pm – 8pm
Cost: £12 (concession £9)
Yin is the calm, receptive opposite to dynamic yang. Of course we need both but our swift-paced world tends to find life a little too heavy in yang!
Yin Yoga focuses on the connective tissues of the body using longer-held, more supported asana to open up tight, dense areas that can build up over time. It’s great for those of us with slow-creep postural habits, those of us with specific sports goals and those of us who just want to take better care of our joint health. By coupling with restorative, this practice brings generous relaxation and renewal.
Come revel in spacious stillness.
Feel free to drop in or contact Sofie: 07967 820260
BREATH OF LIFE
Breathwork, Pranayama & Meditation
With Vicki Shields (SYT)
Saturday 16th May 10:30 – 3:00pm
Sunday 17th May 10:30 – 3:00pm
Whatever ‘style’ of Yoga you practice, it will be enhanced by the management of your breath, and so too will the quality of your daily life. The breath is the very foundation stone of yoga asana and meditation & is the most important function of the body as it impacts on your level of stress and so too the health of every single cell in the body.
Simple rhythmic breathing techniques that utilise the diaphragm, quickly shift your body from stressed to a more relaxed mode.
• step by step instruction on how to open the breath, releasing tension through the upper abdomen, neck and jaw
• extend each breath so it is full and deep, rather than shallow or limited to the upper parts of the lungs.
• change the patterns of your breathing and change the patterns of your thinking. Free your breath, free your mind!
• consciously expanding the breath and eventually slowing down the breath cycle, give us the potential to become masters of the mind instead of the mind controlling us.
In addition, Gentle Restorative Asana, Yoga Nidra, and Mantra Recitation will be a holiday for your mind and body.
Space limited to 12 students booking of both days will take priority at a cost of £75
TEACHERS FURTHER TRAINING 40hrs £250. This Training is across 3 weekends and is a rolling programme begin at any month over three consecutive weekends. A total of 9 months to gain the Yoga Alliance Professionals certifications more importantly to feel more confident to guide others to breathe more efficiently.
Full cost £250
