This Deep Rest mini-series will focus on recovering your body and mind. The classes are based on hatha yoga, breathwork, mindfulness and yoga Nidra techniques. It’s not necessary to have any prior yoga experience.

Starting September 28, 2022,
Five classes on Wednesdays: September 28, October 5, 12, 19, 28.

Benefits of the classes:
- Relax your body
- Release mental pressure
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Replenish our energy

This is the perfect class to do right before sleep as a part of your evening routine.

Each class will focus on a different element of relaxation. You will always receive a recording after each class, so there is no need to worry if you missed out on a class or want to practice again.

We will start the class with some breathing practices, then move to gentle mindful yoga to reconnect with the body, quiet the mind and become fully present. From thereon, we will continue with the Yoga Nidra practice.

Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a powerful meditation technique and one of the most accessible yoga practices to develop and maintain. While you will rest comfortably on your back on the floor or on your bed/sofa, I will take you through guided meditation and visualisation with my voice.

You can buy a pass for all five classes or a one-time pass.
If you purchase a series pass, you will receive a recording after each class, valid for one week.

❔Do you feel overwhelmed or stressed out?
❔Are you facing concentration or sleeping problems?
❔Do you feel easily irritated?
❔Are you constantly tired or have a lack of energy?

Imagine you wake up in the morning feeling confident that you can handle whatever the day will throw at you. Of course, you might still experience stress, feel annoyed or be anxious at times, but these feelings don’t determine your life anymore. You feel calmer, you’re more focused, and you are able to enjoy the good things more.

Does this sound too good to be true? Practising mindfulness can bring such a shift towards greater mental and emotional wellbeing.

An 8-week mindfulness course is not a “quick fix”, nor is it a miracle cure for just about everything. It is a training programme, in which you will learn mental skills and develop new habits and attitudes to deal more skilfully with the challenges of life.

You will discover how you unknowingly contribute to your own stress and unhappiness. By putting in some practice, you can learn new and more helpful ways of dealing with difficult situations.

In 8 weeks, you will learn how to:

💖Approach your life with more composure, energy, understanding and enthusiasm
💖Develop the ability to cope more effectively with both short-term and long-term stressful situations, gaining insight into response rather than reaction
💖Enhance your ability to manage and reduce pain levels
💖Improve your focus, resilience, and capacity to recover more quickly from challenging events
💖Learn how to access and cultivate a natural capacity to actively engage in caring for yourself and find greater balance, ease, and peace of mind

THE 8-WEEK PROGRAMME

The aim of the programme is to acquire new ways of handling stress. You will learn to integrate mindfulness skills into your daily life. A few examples of these are:

🍀Finding peace amid the turbulences of your life by learning to use your breath as an anchor
🍀Increasing your bodily awareness: using your body as a sensitive radar instead of an amplifier of stress
🍀Understanding the stress mechanisms: how automatic thoughts, body sensations and feelings reinforce each other and lead to being stressed out and overwhelmed
🍀Finding new ways of dealing with difficult thoughts and feelings and learning to shift to a more relaxed mode
🍀Awareness of your “early warning” stress symptoms
🍀Learning how to manage your energy better
🍀Cultivating inner qualities of compassion, gratitude and care for yourself and others

The majority of people completing the programme report lasting physical and psychological benefits, including:

🌼An increased ability to relax and to find inner calm
🌼Greater energy and enthusiasm for life
🌼Heightened self-confidence
🌼An increased ability to cope more effectively with stressful situations
🌼A greater sense of overall well being
🌼An improved sleep quality
🌼A better immune system
