Our organs are an often neglected part of our understanding about how to move with ease, particularly in yoga.
Our organ provide the energy and nourishment for movement. Often problems with injuries can be traced back to internal organs which have become depleted and are unable to support the movements.

When there is organ support for movement, there is a sense of connection to the interiour of our body. This can provide a sense of softness and calm in the asanas and even the most simple of actions revitalize our bodies.

We’ll be taking those ideas into exploring our natural ability to move with organ support to see how that can expand our life experience. We will take a look to see how simple self-help can help maintain and improve the health of our organ systems.

We will be doing some simple vinyasas (flowing sequences) and asana as part of the class.

Our spines and our breath are intertwined. Often the first sign of problems in our spines is the lack natural breath movement in part of the spine. Just getting the breath moving in the spine can offer us a chance to get in touch with our natural strength and flexibility without having to do complex or difficult asana. It also offers us a way of establishing a perceptual baseline, a neutral starting place in our yogic adventures of movement, meditation and stretching.

When the breath is able to move freely in the spine, there is a natural connection with the earth which allows weight moving into our feet to rebound freely through the spine, creating length and ease in movement.

We’ll be taking those ideas into exploring our natural ability to flex,extend, side bend and rotate our spine to see how that can expand our life experience. We will take a look to see how simple self-help can help maintain and improve the health of this essential centre in our bodies.

6 week Yoga class, Wednesdays starting on 10th November

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

Class starts Wednesday 10th November, 7.30pm to 9pm. Cost is £40 for 6 weeks. This six week class introduces the ancient art, philosophy and science of yoga and encourages you to learn new ways of being and repattern old habits.

The we move is mostly unthinking and habitual. This class series re-examines these habits in a friendly and safe setting. Often it is the way we understand and initate movement that is problematic, leading to sitff muscles, high degree of tension and other issues such as anxiety, sleep loss and joint problems. By working on whole movement patterns I’ll give you a chance to open up to more freedom and ease in your life. Classes will be small in number, around 4 people, so that I can give each student some personal attention.

Yoga mat The class is for beginners/improvers and is suitable for those who want a gentle style of yoga.

Gentle yoga should not be confused with easy yoga! The work will be on attention to alignment and inner focus with time taken to explore the movements in depth rather than on repetition of more strenuous routines.

Classes will be small in number, around 4 people, so that I can give each student some personal attention.
