Easter Sunday Yin & Yoga Nidra

Easter Sunday 16th April, 6.00pm to 7.30pm, YOGALOFT, Queens Park, London

In this specially extended class for the Easter weekend please join us for some deep yin, allowing us to drop the agenda and experience the moment. Along the journey we will explore the subtle body and open up energetic pathways using longer held postures and pranayama. The practice will be completed with a short session of yoga nidra to encourage deeper awareness and an overall sense of well being.

This practice is open to beginners and pre-booking is advisable.

Yin & Yang – An exploration of the active and passive body/mind (open level)

Sunday 14th May, 3.15pm – 5.30pm, YOGALOFT, Queens Park, London

In this workshop we integrate yoga with the principles of Chinese meridian theory and explore the concepts of both Yin & Yang. The body/mind frequently moves out of kilter and we often find that we fall into one of two camps; either hyped (over-stimulated) or lethargic (depleted). Achieving a sense of equanimity when there is disharmony is tough so this practice will give you time to experience both elements with a combination of active Yang yoga with passive Yin yoga. Our approach to yoga should not be ‘one size fits all’. We should adapt our practice to our needs.

Together with essential pranayama, this workshop will give you some tools to perhaps recognise and bring your awareness to your changing energetic, physical and emotional needs as they arise in the future.

This practice is not advisable in pregnancy and some experience of a Vinyasa based practice (surya namaskar/sun salutations) is recommended.

Price: £25

Advance booking can be arranged by Yogaloft – www.yogaloftlondon.com

“I really appreciate our weekly yoga sessions with you. Our work in the school can be both stressful and rather sedentary, and the weekly yoga sessions makes a perfect antidote to this. I like the way each class concentrates on a particular area or aspect to work on, and am continually surprised by all the ways there are of stretching the body. As a cancer patient in my late fifties, I find these classes both challenging and nurturing. The relaxation at the end is like floating! I only wish I had had the benefit of them when I was younger”

Mary designs classes to meet your personal needs. These classes are ideal for individuals or groups who want one to one attention. In these sessions practitioners can focus on improving their technique and general alignment. Furthermore, private tuition will prepare you for coming to class and will benefit your self-practice at home. It will also deepen your understanding of yoga and the vital fundamental principles.

If you have an injury or ailment that prevents you from coming to class then private tuition yoga might be beneficial for you. It is always a good idea though to get approval from a medical practitioner before you begin your yoga practice.
