Events
Run (or Walk) Yoga Cake
A fun morning suitable for all levels - including walkers and slow joggers and people new to yoga. We host different ability groups tailored to you.
The morning starts with a warm up in the garden and then a 5k or 4.5 mile run with our qualified coach or 45 min walk, followed by some cool down stretches. We then come inside to get changed if necessary and enjoy an hour of gentle yin yoga.
This is a wonderful quietening and relaxing practice to ease stiff joints, improve range of movement and calm the mind.
We stay in the floor-based poses for 1-5 minutes to give the joints, ligaments and deep connective tissues time to open and yield. Different options are offered to suit your unique body.
Linking with Chinese medicine, classes concentrate on targeting different meridians or channels and organ pairs. Gentle music, silence, poems and readings accompany this meditative style of yoga, suitable for all abilities including those new to yoga.
You are encouraged to observe the breath and use this to focus on the present moment, allowing thoughts and feelings to arise but staying with them and watching them without getting “involved”. The “mind chatter” is lessened and the “volume” turned down on any negative thought patterns. The hope is that we develop mindfulness skills that can be transferred from the mat to everyday life.
In this small, friendly class everyone is invited to listen to their own unique body and adapt poses to suit them (particularly if carrying an injury) or simply rest.
We close with a long relaxation and visualisation.
​
If you have time, stay on for a cuppa and homemade cakes and scones.
Hopefully you will leave with a sense of joy and connection to yourself and others, nicely stretched and relaxed.
