Description
This class is an opportunity to reset yourself and to give the body, and mind a spring-clean!
April’s class will be all about the transition from winter to spring. This will be a gentle flow with some options to build more heat and challenge yourself throughout. We will begin with a grounding meditation in which I will invite you to connect to your roots and to turn your attention inwards to check-in with yourself. We will create warmth in our bodies and space in our hearts through some gentle asanas and a series of sun salutations. The flow will incorporate some deep hip openers to release stress and tension stored in this area of the body and clear away any negative or stagnant energy. We will move through a few different back-bends and heart-opening asanas, inviting expansion in the chest and shoulders. I have designed this sequence to counteract our modern lifestyle in which many of us spend a lot of time sitting and/or hunched over. As we approach the end of the practice, we will soften into some more passive and restorative asanas and I will encourage you to simply breathe and connect with your intentions and goals for the season ahead. We will briefly find our Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana) before settling into our final resting pose, Savasana.
We will finish our yoga practice at about 11:20am and will then have the opportunity for a hot drink, some socialising and a Q&A (feel free to use this space to ask me - or eachother - questions you might have about your practice e.g., alignment in specific asanas, advancing a specific asana, adjusting asanas for injuries, etc.).
