BATHING IN STILLNESS:YIN YOGA AND GONG SOUND RELAXATION

With Freya Thomas

Sunday 23rd February | 5.45pm-7.15pm

This month’s Sunday Yin Yoga workshop we will indulge in the quiet and gentle practice of Yin Yoga and once again include a special addition of deep relaxation with Gong Sound bath!

Yin Yoga is a healing practice of long-held poses where muscles completely relax & surrender to allow us to access the deeper layers of the body. It works on releasing constrictions in the connective tissue, ligaments, and tendons that support the hips, pelvis and lower spine. It also stimulates & opens the energy meridians of the subtle body, often described as a “needleless acupuncture session” for the body!
This nurturing workshop will take you through a specific series of seated & supine poses. Aimed at improving joint mobility, cultivating flexibility and help you heal yourself by releasing deep seated tension, breaking up blockages and thus encouraging easier flow of energy around the body, moving you out of negative emotions. You’ll discover balance and find a deep peace in your body & mind.
After the physical part of the practice you will release yourself totally into a soothing sound bath of gong, bells and singing bowl from Sound Therapist Alison Butterworth. The sound balances out the right & left sides of the brain, which stimulates & shifts the nervous system to a restorative and healing mode, and takes you into a deep state of relaxation & ease. A sonic massage and charges the cells of the. body – you will feel an incredible sense of calmness, quietness, and clarity.
Sooth, restore and relax deeply in this bliss bubbling Sunday yoga workshop.

COMPASSIONATE CORE 

With Adam Hocke

Saturday 29th February | 12 noon- 2.30pm

Change your relationship to your core by working more efficiently and compassionately in your practice. Instead of endless crunches and planks, we will learn the magic access points to core integration and use them to uplift and improve your execution of sun salutations, illuminate the inner-life of standing postures, and supercharge your preparations for arm balances and inversions. Beyond the development of holistic strength, we will learn how to stretch, release, and provide compassionate care to a part of us we routinely beat up.

WRIST AND SHOULDER MAINTENANCE 

With Adam Hocke

Saturday 29th February | 3.30pm – 6pm

Yoga puts huge demands on the wrists and shoulders through a variety of postures that require weight-bearing and extreme mobility – sometimes all at once. This means that we have to be skillful and patient as practitioners to ensure the sustainability of our practices. In this workshop, we will rethink one-size-fits-all alignment and look at a variety of approaches to working with postures that require the upper-body to bear weight. In addition we will look at propping and modifications that can provide symptom management in these vulnerable regions. We will learn techniques, preparations, and releases to improve stability and function, and learn how to practice a full flow class off of your hands, if necessary.

All levels welcome.

Individual sessions are £35 and a full day of workshops is £60. We are offering an early bird of £30 for individual sessions and £50 for the full day if booked before 16th February.

YOGA BIRTH PREPARATION WORKSHOP

With Kelly Ann

Sunday 15th March | 3pm – 5pm

Usually, we will talk about what is happening to your body and baby in 1st and 2nd stage labour, yoga postures and movements to help facilitate labour as well as practice techniques to help you relax, and manage discomfort. It is kind of like a “birth simulation” although no two births will ever be the same! You wouldn’t go to an important presentation, or game without “practicing” first, so that is the idea here.

We’ll go over ways that your birth partner can support you throughout the labour and we will also cover labour positions. We talk about a “tool box”. If you have any questions, no question is silly, please ask, or make any special requests you need.

There will tea and biscuits to keep us going;)

Recommendation from a birth partner-

‘When my wife said we were attending Kelly’s yoga birth preparation workshop I was extremely sceptical, and really didn’t know what to expect. One of the first things Kelly asked us to do was to write down the first three words that came to mind when we thought about labour. My words were: pain, blood and fainting. If we were asked to do that same at the end of the session, my three words would have been: excitement, meeting our child and new beginnings. The entire workshop was excellent, it made me aware that I had an important role to play throughout the entire birthing experience, and helped me to feel more confident leading up to and during the process. Kelly provided me with tools to use to support my wife, and this also helped me to remain calm.I recommend all soon-to-be fathers attend Kelly’s Yoga Birth Preparation Class.’

GONG BATH & SOUND JOURNEY: DIVE INTO DEEP RELAXATION

With Craig Eddington

Sunday 15th March | 4pm – 5pm

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 autoimmune & 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!

All yoga mats, blankets & bolsters are provided though you may like to bring your own yoga mat / blanket / pillow for your comfort.

Prompt start. Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes earlier.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the event, late arrivals are unable to join part-way through.

With Dr Yogi

Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th March 2020 | 10am – 6pm

“The most useful and informative two days that I have spend in years!” Jo W, Yoga Teacher

For yoga teachers, yoga teacher trainees or yoga practitioners with at least a one-year consistent practice

In this two-day immersion we will explore in detail the anatomy and physiology of our incredible human body applied to practising and teaching yoga. Each topic that we delve into will be related directly back to the asana practice. The sessions will be interactive and experiential and will vary between discussion, lecture, small group work, personal reflection and group asana practice. There will be a strong focus on using knowledge of anatomy to make asana practices as inclusive as possible. A detailed manual will be included.

The immersion is ideal for yoga practitioners with an established practice, who want to learn more about the human body, go deeper in their own yoga practice and develop a teaching style that is up to date, empowering and inclusive. We will explore anatomy to a depth that is appropriate for teaching yoga.

By the end of the weekend you will feel inspired and empowered to teach yoga to the best of your ability. You will have the confidence to breakdown any yoga asana with a clear understanding of the key actions and movements and know how to work with your own unique anatomy and that of your student.

An Introduction to Intelligent Movement Principals:
• An introduction to muscle looking at its structure and function and how we can apply the knowledge of stretch reflexes to deepen our practice
• The structure and function of bone and joints looking at both the importance and limitation of alignment and what limits our movement
• How a knowledge of fascia can impact our movement on and off the mat
• The Nocebo Effect and choosing empowering language
• What causes muscle tightness
• Flexibility vs mobility
• Anatomical language and how this can help us to remember the names of some of our muscles

A Detailed Exploration of the Lower Limbs:
• An exploration of our feet and ankles looking at their structure and function and how we can apply this knowledge on and off the mat
• Why our knee joints may be vulnerable to injury and how to support them
• A detailed look at the hip joints focusing on what makes each of us so unique
• Piriformis Syndrome

A Detailed Exploration of the Upper Limbs:
• The importance of shoulder joint and girdle mobility and stability in our yoga practice
• An evidence-based approach to Shoulder Impingement
• Hyperextension of the elbow joint
• Why wrist pain is so common in yoga

A Detailed Exploration of the Spine:
• An exploration of our pelvis and sacro-iliac joints and how to keep this area supported during our asana practice
• An evidence-based approach to back pain and prolapsed discs
• The anatomy of our core musculature
• Increasing thoracic spine mobility
• Supporting our cervical spine during inversions
• An evidence-based approach to releasing neck tension

The Science Behind Why Yoga Makes Us Feel So Good:
• How yoga impacts our nervous system and relieves stress
• Yoga as a breath-led practice and why breath is so important
• Yoga for cardiovascular and lymphatic health

This immersion counts towards CPD requirements for Yoga Alliance members (14 contact hours)

2 Day Immersion Price:

POWER OF SHAKTI: A YOGINI GATHERING

With Ella Young

Saturday 4th April 2020 | 2pm – 4pm

“Even if you can be aware of your awareness for only a moment, in that moment you will touch the primal awareness/bliss at the core of yourself.”
― Sally Kempton, Awakening Shakti: The Transformative Power of the Goddesses of Yoga

Join Ella Young to connect to the Divine Feminine (Shakti) through sacred circles, meditative embodiment and free-flowing yogic movement. Prepare for the enchantment and awakening of the senses through smell, touch, taste, sight and sound. This multisensory experience will guide us back to the realisation that the Mother resides deep within us – she, and therefore we, are sacred.

Women have gathered in circles since the dawn of time. Circles were made for counsel, birth, cooking, inspiration, learning, connecting, creating and so much more. We will connect to Shakti while in a circle, unified by all facing inward to the centre point: the bindu.

Surrounded by the divine scents of aromatic oils; we explore touch through our own sensitive skin; awaken and enliven through the taste of naturally stimulating cacao; practice dharana (single pointed focus) to see the Mother’s light and we sense the sound of Shakti calling us back to our tribal roots.

Shakti is diverse and beautiful in all of her forms, she is not constrained by expectations or social pressures. She is wild and fierce, peaceful and gentle, caring and kind; you are free to be your own unique expression of the goddess at any time you choose.

Sometimes we forget or are unable to tap into our instinct because we are so unknowingly restricted in modern times. Discover your divine femininity and awaken the force within!

£20 Women Only-Some yoga experience is recommended.
