Imbolc ~ candlelight Yin Yoga Workshop
~ Awakening ~
Imbolc is an ancient Celtic holiday celebrating the very first stirrings of new life–the earliest breaths of spring. Even though there may still be snow on the ground where you are, even if it’s freezing cold outside, we are beginning to feel the very earliest hints of spring rising in our spirits.
After months of turning inward, of hibernation & of rest, life is beginning to stir again.
Spiritually, this is a time of new life coming into manifestation. We may only be seeing the tiniest hints of life above the surface but things are really beginning to stir in the darkness.
In this 2 hr workshop we will focus on manifesting our dreams and plans for the year. Looking at cleaning pranayama practices and slowly stretching and awakening the body. Session will finish with a long relaxation & chanting the Gayatri Mantra.
Limited to 15 people

Spring Equinox Candlelight Yin Yoga Workshop
Finding Balance
A celebration of the spring equinox - the point of balance where day & night are the same length.
The session will begin with some Pranayama (breathing practices) & a short silent meditation then move into some Yin yoga poses to restore balance in our body & finding some quietness in the mind.
The session will focus on physically balancing out the sides of the body ~ front, back line & lateral stretches and twists.
The Pranayama practice will look at releasing blocks (granthis) with the Nadi Sodhana (alternate nostril breath) and Nadi Kriyas (cleansing practices).

Happy Hips, Legs & Feet ~ Therapeutic Yoga Workshop
This workshop is designed to strengthen & free up all those muscles that have been strained, shortened and tightened by all those years of running, cycling and sitting for too long.
The hips, hamstrings and spine (psoas) were designed to have freedom of movement, to bend with ease & to be supple.
In this workshop we will aim to cultivate a greater range of motion & flexibility in our Hips, Hamstrings and Psoas by using yoga stretches, supported Yin yoga poses & self massage - Myo-fascia release.
