Join Sound Therapist Craig Eddington at Heather Yoga for this fantastic restorative way to leave behind the stresses of modern life as you step into the power of Sound Healing and Sound Therapy. The Gong is played gently along with Himalayan & Crystal Singing Bowls with the captivating tones lulling you into a deep relaxation & restorative state.

There are a number of health benefits associated with achieving this state of deep relaxation: lower blood pressure, increased blood circulation, balancing of the nervous system, reduced mind chatter, better sleep patterns. Some people gain mental clarity or feel very energised by the sessions. The session may even enhance your creativity.

Some people also experience a reduced sense of pain, plus relief from symptoms of ongoing medical conditions and illnesses. The sound helps to induce our natural relaxation response, taking us out of ‘fight or flight’ mode and into our restorative, parasympathetic state. Those with auto-immune & nervous system conditions have benefited considerably from this work.

Attending the session can leave you with a feeling of inner peace and tranquillity and a reduced sense of stress, anxiety or worry.
A Gong Relaxation works on all levels of your being – mind, body, soul & spirit. The sound vibrations will provide a ‘sonic massage’ to your physical self and subtle energy fields, leaving you feeling relaxed, refreshed and restored.

Everyone is welcome, sessions are open, informal and light hearted. Wear warm comfortable clothing. No special skills required, just bring a smile and let the sound work its magic!

A DAY OF WORKSHOPS WITH ADAM HUSLER

Sunday 8th September | 1 – 7pm

London’s most in-demand yoga teacher Adam Husler, is back in Yorkshire this Autumn for a day of workshops as part of his International tour dates. We are so pleased that he will be visiting Heather Yoga this September with some refreshing and unmissable Yoga workshops.

Kung Fu Hips:  1pm – 3.30pm – see full details below

Twist Again…And Again: 4.30pm – 7pm – see full details below

Prices include £50 for a package of both workshops or £30 for each individual workshop.

About Adam
Drawing from a variety of lives lived off the mat, Adam Husler( E-500RYT) brings a unique perspective to those who seek more from yoga than making pretty shapes. He offers creative, effective and clearly-sequenced teachings that focus on balancing flexibility and strength; physically and mentally. Educated by globally renown teachers, including Jason Crandell and Michael Stone, Adam specialises in a signature style of Alignment-Based Vinyasa— fuelled by a fascination with anatomy and a desire to ask ‘why?’
Adam believes that yoga is a personally subjective practice of self enquiry, where one thing is for certain: whether a long-time listener, first time caller, or anywhere in between… yoga offers us all plenty of options to challenge and reward. Start small, go slow, practise, and all is coming. With a robust home schedule in London and leading workshops, trainings and festivals continuously around the world, Adam has thousands of teaching hours under his belt.

KUNG FU HIPS

With Adam Husler

Sunday 8th September | 1 – 3:30pm

Martial artists have got it right, finding that beautiful sweet spot in the legs; perfect balance between flexibility and strength, through incredibly smooth, dynamic movement.

Here, we wont be kicking each other in the head but we’ll be exploring integrated movement, enhanced mobility, dynamic transitions, arm balancing and deep static poses that will challenge all levels of practitioner. Expect a controlled, strong yet fun vinyasa practice that will challenge ego and body!

With a focus on the legs and our hip socket, we’ll be developing our understanding over
this complex area and how happenings in our knees, ankles and pelvis can affect asanas for better or worse. This sequence will follows Adam’s typical accessible, anatomical
instruction, but will also feature some movement patterns inspired by Adams backgrounds in martial arts, Budokon yoga and the world of functional movement.

Prices include £50 for a package of both workshops or £30 for each individual workshop.

TWIST AGAIN… AND AGAIN

With Adam Husler

Sunday 8th September | 4:30 – 7pm

There’s a family of asana that every 21st century body loves and needs, the twists!

Here we’ll begin by touching base on the mechanics of whats happening in your body when you
twist with integrity and congruence, then the rotations will begin.

Via a controlled vinyasa practice, we’ll gradually explore the core-muscles required for non levered twist and then begin to add some leavers, gradually getting deeper into our
opening and closing twists. As time goes by we’ll explore adding our new found twists to increasingly challenging balancing poses and arm balances like grasshopper, side crow, Koundinyasana A and revolved bird of paradise. Though it will be a strong practice there’ll be plenty of options for different bodies and levels of experience.

Prices include £50 for a package of both workshops or £30 for each individual workshop.

POWERFUL PRACTICES

With Naomi Absalom

Saturday 26th October | 2 – 5pm

Heather Yoga are pleased to bring Brighton & London based teacher Naomi Absalom to Yorkshire this Autumn for an exceptional yoga offering.

Most of us really have no idea just how powerful we are and what we have access to within ourselves. Deeply entrenched conditioning has turned many of us into docile, caged animals. We have become too comfortable, too passive, we tolerate ill health, settle for less, cope badly with stress and ultimately all of this serves to disconnect us from our own great power. When we deeply connect to our highest self through the complete practice of yoga and beyond, we begin to dissolve old ways of being and tired limitations. Understanding and experiencing this potential and learning simple ways to create change in the nervous system keeps us awake, healthy, anchored to our purpose and deeply in touch with ourselves.
This workshop will encourage you to locate the part of you which really resonates with energy and rekindle and reaffirm that connection for extremely powerful self-healing. We will move through a potent combination of creative and out of the box asana, mantra and breath work to unlock the force of the spirit and create change in the nervous system.

This will be a dynamic full spectrum, explorative yet inclusive practice for all levels, with an emphasis on asana, breath and mantra to awaken the energetic body and spirit ready for transformation. Expect your notions of your own body and mind to be challenged – let go and feel all kinds of glorious!

Price £30

About Naomi:
Authentic and kind, Naomi is an inspiring teacher. Her dynamic classes express her love for playfulness and creativity within movement, her passion for music as well as her interest in form and alignment. She focuses on strong, controlled and mindful transitions so that every moment is felt and processed. 17 years of self-practice, a decade of teaching, as well as training in Thai Yoga massage inform her intuitive hands on adjustments.
Inspired by the power of community, Naomi aims to create a safe and nurturing environment where each individual connects to the presenting current of energy to become part of something much greater than themselves. Deeply passionate about teaching yoga, she leads mentoring sessions for teachers across the UK so they may learn their art from a place of integrity and apprenticeship. Greatly indebted to the profound philosophical teachings of Sivananda which form the heart and soul of not only everything she teaches but her journey through life, Naomi’s love for the magical alchemy of vinyasa underpins her ever evolving teaching.
