"Slow down"

In the UK our weather can be unpredictable which often means that we try and cram in as much as possible into the warmer months. .

The trick is to slow down, and prioritise time for ourselves. When we are busy socialising and rushing from one thing to the next, self-care often goes out the window. We need to find time to slow down, to reflect, to listen to our inner voice and to evaluate whether the choices that we are making will benefit us, whether these decisions fit in with our life-style choices and whether we just want to sit and find time for ourselves.

Within today's post-summer session we will be finding a slow mindful pace, giving ourselves plenty of time and opportunity to slow down and evaluate what are needs are, and how we can meet them

And breathe.

The workshops, what to expect:

A typical yoga session begins with 3 deep breaths with the hands in prayer position - to balance the left & right hemispheres of the brain. We then tune in with the Adi Mantra (Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo) to centre us and to link student and teacher together in our practice.

Pranayam - a set of breathing exercises designed to purify the blood and integrate ourselves into our yoga practice

Warm ups - may be used depending on the Kriya and the weather!

Kriya - a kriya is a sequence of postures / breath / sound which flow together to induce a stable state in the body and mind

Meditation - typically this will be seated, with an eye and hand focus in order to bring the mind into a state of awareness

Yoga Nidra or 'Yogic Sleep' - is a period of relaxation to allow the body and mind to absorb the yoga practice, and to let go of any remaining stress.

We then tune out with a Mantra (Sat Nam) to end the session by awakening the soul.
