I combine breathwork, meditation and movement to help you to tune into what your body needs. Each class is slightly different depending on the energy in the room and I create flows to relax and challenge your body. Stillness is also very important and it is here that the real yogic work is done, in the mind. My classes will help you to move your body better and help you to find a place of quiet inside yourself.
Description
This class is a 90 minute treat for your body and your mind. This restorative practice is a Yin inspired practice. Yin is a type of yoga where mainly floor based poses are held for between 3-5 minutes. This extended hold gives you time and space to explore not only the pose but also your state of mind. We generally start with some breathwork to prepare the mind and also a short meditation. The class closes with a 30 minute Yoga nidra session. Yoga nidra is a rejuvenating relaxation that takes you to a liminal space between waking and sleeping, it gives space for deep rest for your body and mind and is sometimes described as yogic sleep. It is incredibly healing for the body as the same brainwaves are accessed here as in deep or REM sleep.
What to bring?
You will need to bring a mat, a blanket (or two), a cushion and some water. I provide blocks and straps as required. It is advisable to wear comfortable clothing that you can move freely in, and layers are always good! The final section of the class is lying in savasana for around 30 minutes so bring warm clothes and socks.
The class is held in the Sutton on Trent Methodist Community Centre. The hall is situated behind the Methodist Chapel on High Street. There is parking right outside the hall.
