2 day restorative workshop with Rachel Beare

Sat 21st & Sun 22nd August 2010, 10am to 4pm

The Yoga House, Lismore

This workshop is designed to restore energy to tired bodies and minds. We'll work with deep stretches and supported poses so as to slowly and carefully open the body and release trapped tension that leads to stress and tiredness. When we ease out muscle knots and thaw a tense system we can unlock our full and magnificent potential. After this workshop you will feel lighter, stronger, recharged and energised. Circulation will improve and the mind will be more focussed. We will also be doing some pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. Obviously, if you can come to the 2 full days the results will be potent, however if you cannot make that, there is a 1 day or even a half day option, the idea here is that something is better than nothing, so don't feel pressured, just come to what you can, you will still reap profound benefits. See you there. Namaste

2 day Yoga workshop with Veronica Larsson

Sat 9th October 10am to 4pm & Sun 10th October 10 am to 1pm

The Yoga House, Lismore

Saturday 9th 10.00 - 12.00 - A led class where we move effortlessly from a centering mediation into the the very essence of our expression in yoga. We work as ususal at the deeply enthralling intersection of breath/gravity/listening/connection/true power and heart, and freedom of movement. This work is accessible and empowering for all levels and types of practitioners, and is effective in shifting old mind-body patterns that no longer serve you.

Saturday 9th 13.30 - 15.30 - Open Yoga Energy Medicine Clinic. In this class we address any physical issues that you may, or may not! be aware of as it relates to your practice and your life. We simply and effectiely explore together, ways of moving beyond current limiting mind-body patterns and blocked energy, by applying the relevant posture work for the relavant person/body. A very exciting class indeed!

Sunday 10th - As a result of the openings and connections of Saturdays work, morning or evening, we move a little closer to home still in this deeply connecting and empowering class. If you cant make saturday, or all of saturday, you will still be ok!

Very very much looking forwards to seeing you there!!

Peaceful Warrior workshop with Rachel Beare

Sat 30th October, 10am to 4pm

The Yoga House, Lismore

In this workshop we will balance both the dynamic and passive aspects of our practice. In the morning session we will practice strong and energising postures inspired by the classic warrior sequence. our focus will be on grounding and strengthening. The idea here is to access the warrior within! through a regular and strong asana (posture) practice we can completely transform our bodies, minds and lives. We will pay particular attention to the fact that we only get out what we put in to any practice, in order to gain full benefit, there must be discipline and dedication, so there will be sweat and challenges but boundless rewards in return. In the afternoon section of this workshop we will open the door to a deep and more peaceful meditative practice, thus balancing the nervous system after our morning's exertion. we will enjoy Pranayama (breath exercises), Chanting, Meditation and yoga nidra (yogic relaxation technique). These 2 very different practices combine to give us a wider understanding of the depths of yoga and also make sure that we promote strength without tension and relaxation without tiredness. it's the perfect blend of active and passive. it's best if you can make the full day, but as always, you are welcome to the half day option. See you there.
