Pranayama and Restorative Yoga Workshop
Sep
13
3:00 PM15:00

Pranayama and Restorative Yoga Workshop

A pranayama and restorative yoga workshop all about letting go and helping to restore balance. The 3 hour session is hosted by Fabi (Mind Balance) and Nikki (Mona Yoga). 

IMG_6532.JPG

The workshop will take place on Sunday 13th September from 3pm-6pm at Salt Water Studios, Worthing.

Workshop Schedule:

3-4pm - Pranayama guided by Nikki. A chance to reconnect with yourself through a series of breathing techniques. 

4-6pm - Restorative Yoga guided by Fabi. A deeply relaxing yoga practice to help you slow down and release mental and physical tension. 

The first hour will be spent learning about the importance of the breath for maintaining a healthy body and mind. When yoga was founded in the East centuries ago, the breath was at the roots of the practice. Today, the breath remains as important as ever. But, in our modern lives, poor posture and constant stress has meant that many of us don't breathe optimally, and our body and minds suffer as a result. In this workshop you will learn why the breath is so important and be guided through some techniques that you can practice in everyday life to help you breathe more consciously. 

The second part of the workshop will be a guided restorative yoga practice. We will start with a short somatic practice to connect with our bodies followed by deeply relaxing restorative poses. By activating your relaxation response, restorative yoga helps balance your whole nervous system. It is a passive practice that allows you to turn your intention inwards and to slow down. We will hold poses for an extended period of time to allow your body and mind to fully let go and relax.

All you will need to bring is a blanket and pillow.

The cost of the workshop is £35. Click here to book.

Introduction to Arm Balances

Do you have a regular yoga practice that does not include arm balances, but are looking for the tools needed to build towards these types of postures?

Or do you have experience with arm balancing postures, but are looking to refine and advance the poses to work towards more challenging variations?

This workshop is perfect for you! We'll focus on a selection of arm balances listed below, looking at how we can build the strength and flexibility to nail these asanas. We'll also look at how we can add them into a yoga flow so that you can experiment in your own home practice.

Poses that we will cover include:

Crow pose (Bakasana)
Side Crow Pose (Parsva Bakasana)
Shoulder Pressing Pose (Bhujapidasana)
Eight Angle Pose (Astavakranasana)
Elephant's Trunk Pose (Eka Hasta Bhujasana)

2pm-2.45pm - Introduction and warmup flow
2.45pm-3.15pm - A 'how to' of each arm balance, including how props can be used to assist you in building up to the posture (lots of playtime!)
3.15pm-3.45pm - Short arm balance flow to give you a feel for how you can incorporate arm balances into your home practice
3.45pm-4pm - Questions, cool down and savasana.

The cost for the workshop is £30. It will be hosted at Salt Water Studios in Worthing. If you'd like to book a place, email monayogauk@gmail.com and payment details will follow. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. I hope to see you there!
