Your workshop
Your workshop will be live-streamed via Zoom.
This workshop will place importance on making time for rest and recovery, with a view towards developing a sensitive and sustainable practice that takes into account the context of our lives; the fluctuations and challenges we face every day.
Schedule
10:00-11:00 ‘Doing’ - a gentle somatic movement session
Comfort break and group discussion
11:15-12:00 ‘Being’ - guided relaxation, basic breathing exercises and an introduction to sitting meditation
This workshop is suitable for:
curious yoga practitioners of any discipline
those wanting to place ‘rest’ higher on their list of priorities
You will learn ways to:
adapt your yoga practice to incorporate more recuperative elements
create time and space for self-reflection
address stress
The workshop will be divided across two broad categories: ‘active’ and ‘passive’, or, ‘doing’ and ‘being’. We will begin with a gentle somatic movement practice (focused on how movements feel rather than the way they look) and we will conclude with a brief (beginner-friendly) introduction to sitting meditation.
The group will learn about the role of the nervous system, the stress response and how we can take steps to calm ourselves down. The aim of this workshop is not to do, or be ‘better’, but to increase the size of our toolbox, so we have more choice when it comes to making decisions about what would be most helpful to us.
Equipment
In addition to your yoga mat (or carpeted floor), a yoga block (or chunky book), blanket (or duvet), a bolster cushion (or a few pillows), and something to place over your eyes may be nice to have, but not essential. Be creative with what you have at home: think about what might help you relax.
