With Adam Husler
Sunday 14th October | 4.30 – 7pm
Join one of London’s most in-demand yoga teachers Adam Husler in Yorkshire this Autumn for a day of workshops as part of his International tour dates.
When we backbend, we love to collapse in the lower back, squash the neck and roll the eyes back ……because it makes us feel like we’re going further. In twists, we love to spin the neck and throw the arm…because it makes us feel like we’re going further. In this workshop we’re going to reign things in and begin to find evenness in the backbends, congruence in out twists, and strength in the muscles that are there to move us in these directions. Expect both an experience, but also an development of your understanding of the mechanics of the spine, in relation to an asana practice
Instead of starting with contortion skills, we’ll start from the ground up, breaking down vinyasa and salutation technique, and you’ll already begin using muscles you might not have felt before. We’ll continue our exploration as work to undulate through individual vertebrae, unlock and strengthen our iPhone hunched upper back/neck and begin to move more dynamically thorough the spine in controlled vinyasa context.

YOGA FOR MENOPAUSE

An afternoon of nourishment learning yoga poses to help with the menopause from aching bones to hot flushes and all that is in between.

An opportunity to share our experiences, find out how we can prepare for the menopause and ways in which we can make the transition easier on a physical and emotional level; laughter and tears all welcome. We will be journaling all that arises throughout the afternoon so please do bring a notebook and pen.
This will be suitable for all levels of yoginis from very beginners to the experienced. We welcome you whether you are on the verge of peri-menopause, in the full “flush” of it or if you’ve come out the other side.
