Join Sophia and Dezi for a day of yoga and mindfulness practices. This workshop will be held online via Zoom.
Price £30. Advance booking and payment essential. Please email sophiaargyris@hotmail.com to book.
10am-12: Iyengar Yoga Asana
In the morning Sophia will guide you through a sequence of postures with a focus on deep attention to the body and breath, feeling within your own unique body the alignment in each posture and how that alignment brings extension and spaciousness. We will look at how the breath can help us to feel and maintain this during our practice, and how all of this leads us into the balance of Sukha (ease/delight) and Sthira (stability/firmness). Working in this way we stay present in the moment, steady and calm the mind, and find the sweetness, or nectar, in each posture.
NB: This session is suitable for anyone who has been practicing yoga regularly for 1 or more years (if you have a health condition please email Sophia to discuss this before the workshop).
You will need to have the following props or substitutes available: 1 chair (yoga chair or stable kitchen table type chair without arm rests) 2 yoga bricks (or two thick hardback books of similar size) 2 yoga blocks (or two coffee table books of similar size) 1 blanket 1 yoga belt
Lunch break 12-1.30pm
1.30-3.30pm Mindfulness
In the afternoon session Dézi will talk about mindfulness and the intention behind practising this ancient method. Mindfulness is a great skill to have to get to know ourselves better, a tool to develop through time and practice in order to deal with the stresses of life.
Dezi will guide various practices through which we can find ways to serve our wellbeing and reach our potential as human beings. Mindfulness practices include meditation,visualisation,movement and short exercises bridging the formal practices and everyday activities.
No experience needed for this session.
