Sunday Stillness – Turning Inwards: exploring inversions with Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra
Sunday 17th Nov 2024, 6-8pm, Coombes Community Centre, Royston
A calm and restorative two hour session, to calm and soothe the nervous system, find ease in the body and mind.
Join me for the final Sunday Stillness of the year! This will be the perfect opportunity to fill up on rest and relaxation before the run up to the holidays! Make some time to slow down and soothe the nervous system, at this busy time of the year.
The lead up to Winter makes an ideal time for bringing in slower practises (like Yin Yoga) to our routines, as we mirror what is happening in Nature. Looking at what is happening now in nature we see there’s less activity, there’s a shedding of the old, a letting go, as nature is preparing for its rest. From rest and rejuvenation, nature (and ourselves) can flourish again, after the hibernation season.
In this two hour session, we’ll be exploring inversions and forward bends in our Yin Yoga practice, as a way of fostering introspection and cultivating awareness, as well as promoting a gateway to practising mindfulness and kindness.
Some of the benefits of these poses include:
– promoting better digestion
– gently energising
– promoting better sleep
– soothing for anxiety
Our evening together will finish with a soothing Yoga Nidra.
Yoga nidra, or yogic sleep as it is commonly known, is an immensely powerful meditation technique, and one of the easiest yoga practices to develop and maintain. Practised in savasana (corpse pose), this systematic meditation takes you through the Pancha Maya kosha (five layers of self), leaving you with a sense of wholeness.
You’ll leave feeling rejuvenated, more present and relaxed, maybe even feeling ready to tackle madness of the holiday season!
