Go with the Flow

Saturday May 26 11:00-13:00

This workshop will focus on flowing postures that open the groin and hips, bringing movement to the pelvis and lower back, allowing greater adaptability and receptivity into our lives.

The second chakra encourages us to feel the feelings that arise as we open to life just as it is. As we allow ourselves to accept what is, we taste the sweetness (and bittersweetness) of life. This workshop provides a different perspective, bringing awareness to our feminine and masculine subtle energies through the practice of both hatha and yin style postures.

Toni is the principle assistant on the yogahaven teacher training course.

Limited places – only 14 places available for this workshop. Please book on-line or pay at the studio.

Innate Power

Saturday Jun 23 11:00-13:00

This workshop looks at Manipura Chakra (3rd Chakra). Centered at the navel, it is seen as the seat of one’s power and life force, and governs the digestive system, liver, kidneys, spleen and diaphragm.

Focusing on these major organs we will build heat and engage awareness with Uddiyana Bandha, Bhastrika breath, variations on twisting, strength and endurance postures such as Virabhadrasana, Utkatasana, and Navasana, and soothers like Purvottanasana.
By stimulating and re-balancing these major organs we expose and manage the emotional and psychological issues associated with them. A balanced Manipura Chakra manifests in stable socialization with others and with one’s inner self, to feel; greater purpose, self-respect, esteem, motivation, spontaneity, inner power and self love.

A glorious gong bath with Gordon Coxon

Sunday Jul 8 17:30-18:45

Join Gordon Coxon for a gong bath! Experience the universal sound of the gong and Tibetan singing bowls. Allow the sounds to take you into a state of peaceful meditation and let it touch you deeply at a cellular level. Let go of any expectations and experience total relaxation and connection with the Sounds of the Universe.

The gong is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. Based on ancient wisdom, the gongs vibrate at the same frequency as the body allowing the body to heal itself. The sounds and vibrations of the gong create deep relaxation and state of meditation by altering brain waves from a Beta (waking state) to Theta & Delta (deep meditation).

All you need is LOVE

Saturday Jul 21 11:00-13:00

This 4th workshop explores the integrative role of the Heart Chakra (Anahata). Located at our heart centre between the world of matter (lower three chakras) and the world of spirit (higher three chakras), the Heart Chakra is associated with the element air, and the physical organs of respiration, the heart and lungs.

To release physical and emotional congestion in the chest and heart area, this workshop will include back bends and breathing sequences to clear emotions of the past relating to bitterness, jealousy, isolation, pity and depression in order to support grounding, introspection, self love and increase loves quality and power within us.
