 DO YOU HAVE A MIND FULL OF noisy THOUGHTS? 

We can react to thoughts; or alternatively – and this is what we do in our mindfulness practice – we can simply notice them, without judgement. Mindfulness is recognising feelings without becoming caught up in them, living more in the moment (and less in the past and future), a way to cultivate happiness that’s suitable for all. 

During our sessions we’ll explore various mindfulness techniques. 

These techniques help us practice purposefully paying attention in the present moment, whilst bringing a non-judgemental, compassionate awareness to the nature of things. We will practice directing our attention inwards, and making discoveries about what sensations we’re feeling, and what thoughts and emotions we’re having. When distractions occur, we just let them go.

The main goal of the course is to leave you able to lead your own practice at the end of the session 8. During the course we will cover basics of the yoga philosophy, types of yoga, how to warm up the body and release tension from the joints, some key postures from each of the main āsana groups including standing poses, forward & back bends, twists, and simple inversions, focusing on alignment and benefits. We’ll cover the use of yoga props and how to link the breath with movements. We will explore the basics of ‘flow’, using Sun Salutations for that purpose. Well look in-depth at some breathing techniques and explore how you can use them to energise or to relax. The course includes one ashtanga style class, one hatha style class and one yoga nidra class. 

In this course, the classes are kept small – there are only 7 spaces – so you that will receive lots of personal attention. We will work at a pace that ensures you will develop a firm understanding of all aspects of the practice. This creates a strong and safe foundation from which to confidently try different styles of yoga in any open-level class.
