Open level yoga classes. Based on Scaravelli-inspired technique, and drawing on ideas from Traditional Chinese Medicine, we move from stillness to movement and back to stillness again, incorporating breath work and functional movement and trying to cultivate a feeling of connectivity.
Yoga is more than exercise. In this yoga we pair the breath with movement, directing breath, attention and energy around the body as we move, and find stillness. We gradually build a practice of postures and movements, in a Scaravelli-approach to yoga. Opening, closing, twisting, grounding, centreing and balancing, we stretch and strengthen, exploring familiar yoga asana alongside movements from other somatic practices such as Pilates and Feldenkrais.
Drawing on elements from traditional chinese medicine, we will introduce some philosophical concepts behind the practice. We learn tools to reclaim your attention...to enhance your ability to be in the here and now…to notice how you feel…to step out of anxieties about the future and rumination on the past, and into the present moment...and perhaps feel more at home in your own body.
