Friday 29th May, 7.30-9pm, £12 From my yoga lounge to yours.
This workshop will be delivered live via Zoom. Turn your focus inward and away from the busy world. Dissolve stress to reprogram your energy and arrive at a place of connection and peace. A gentle Yin Yoga Journey through the Chakra System, exploring the 7 chakras, their significance, emotional expression & their power on our physical & subtle body. We will learn about the Chakra energetic qualities, Sanskrit name, traditional meaning, location, mantra, corresponding essential oils (Root & Flower). An expansion of consciousness and deep inner healing.
This workshop will cultivate mind, body awareness as we take residence in our own bodies, slowing down, calming our nervous systems & finding a deep stillness while consciously breathing & exploring yin postures; balancing body, mind & spirit & encouraging a deeper exploration of self. Yin Yoga is slow paced, meditative & targets the deep connective tissues/ ligaments between the muscles & the layers of fascia throughout the body, increasing circulation in the joints & improving flexibility as the poses are held for longer periods of time. As we work with these layers, we create the conditions to release deeply held tension in the body & mind, while encouraging awareness of inner silence and creating a deep sense of calm. Through yin, meditation, breath and visualisation we open the chakras, with beneficial effects on our whole being. Through deep connection to the breath, a guided relaxation, together with Yin postures whilst working with the energy body, you will have the opportunity to enter into a space of sublime relaxation and meditation.
Yin Yoga is a practice of compassionate mindfulness, self discovery, and transformation. It focuses on paying attention, letting go, and developing the witness to whatever comes up in the physical body, mental body, emotions, and breath. With this understanding, we can create harmony and balance in all areas of life. Benefits of Yin yoga:
• Targets the fascia and connective tissue in the body to stretch, release and create space
• Releases emotional patterning stuck in the body
• Increases circulation • Can improve postural and skeleton alignment
• Calms nervous system
• Reduces stress and relieves tension
• Healing • Balances our yin and yang attributes
• Opens energy (meridian) channels in the body.
