Bringing more creativity into Saturday morning session with Dynamic Mandala Vinyasa Sequences.

We will be circling in 360 degrees around the mat. The sequence may have a single focus, such as opening the hips or, multiple areas of focus; starting and ending a practice with Yin pose.

Suitable more for those who have some previous experience in yoga. Not necessarily in Mandala style but more so as your regular yoga practice.

Prepare:
blanket
cushion

An hour practice in slow pace, focusing on long holds, stillness and deep breathing.

Restorative yoga is a restful practice, supported by props to create the conditions for us to cultivate the skill of conscious relaxation and most importantly to release unnecessary habitual tension in the body and mind.

We will hold poses between 10-15 mins each to allow a time for the body to relax, cultivate a sense of safety, which pulls us out of “flight or fight” mode, and initiates the body’s self-healing process.

Shorter days, darker nights are perfect time to slow down, to unwind, to support and strengthen nervous system, to allow for a deep rest.

No experience needed, everyone is welcome. Bring your props and your wonderful self, exactly as you are.

Useful additional props apart from yoga mat:
2 blankets
2 yoga blocks
2-3 cushions
A bolster
An eye pillow ( or any eye covering ) for more comfort and deeper relaxation

Stretch and Restore class is gentle, supportive and healing.

The first half hour is all about stretching the entire body. The postures designed to to improve your flexibility, range of motion and increase on muscular strength, also incorporating breathing techniques.

The other half of session, will slow you right down with longer passive holds choosing either Yin or Restorative pose depending what is our monthly focus. Longer holds with a support help to release a tension in the body, relax the mind. And, Yin poses help with release of tension in deep layers of connective tissues stored in physical and energetic body.

Great for runners, racquet players, all those who like to increase flexibility, building a strength, improving balance, coordination and enhancing a state of mind.

Suitable for all levels.

Support yourself with props: cushion, blanket, yoga bolster.

Moving through slow flow sequences in Vinyasa style where each movement is synchronized with breath.

Starting with a bit of stretching depending what area of the body we focus on on the day, follow by few Sun Salutations ( modifications given to all levels - where you can take your Vinyasa at your own pace ).

Mixture of core strengthening, standing and balancing asanas ( postures ) to build the heat and strength in the overall body.
