Yoga

Description

Yoga aims to promote health and well-being and is known to aid relaxation and reduce anxiety. Regular practice can improve strength, flexibility, balance, respiration and energy. The approach is holistic, focusing on the whole person, not just a specific condition. The class is taught by Liz Collyer; qualified teacher with The Society of Yoga Practitioners, accredited by the British Wheel of Yoga.

The class focuses on connecting to our bodies through movement and breathing, focusing on the exhale to activate the rest & recuperate part of our systems (as opposed to the fight or flight). All the postures involve movements done in synch with our breathing; promoting relaxation and mindfulness.

Liz demonstrates each posture clearly; encouraging all of us in a relaxed, calm manner. Each session is  finished with some seated breathing, again focusing on the exhale. Chairs are on hand in case of needing a bit of steadying or a short rest, or to help us get up from the ground. The aim is always to keep things comfortable, and alternatives are available if something doesn’t work for a participant.
