Mon 10:30-12pm & Wed 7:15-8:45pm
Chair Yoga and mini Sound Bath – 1st week of the month
12:20-1:05pm All at Houghton village hall, Leicester.
A gentle yoga practice focusing on slow, mindful movement, connecting body and the breath to facilitate deep relaxation. We will work with floor based postures, using props to fully support the body, incorporating restorative yoga postures, somatic movement and breathwork.
- Releasing the body – holding and flowing with gentle postures allows the body to release more deeply
- Calming the mind – with a slow meditative practice
- An opportunity to just be – stilling the mind, exploring gentle movement of the body
- Time to release and flow into each posture – an anecdote to our busy lives
Sound Bath: An opportunity to simply lie down on a yoga mat with a blanket and pillow and relax whilst I play a variety of instruments around and over the body to facilitate calm, relaxation and healing. Sound baths are a highly accessible form of meditation as you’re listening to the sounds of the instruments so the monkey mind is a lot less likely to wonder.
What to expect:
The session will involve yoga in the main, with a gentle mini Sound Bath for relaxation at the end of the class. There will be a monthly theme, woven through the whole yoga and sound experience. The yoga is hatha yoga, including postures, sequences, breathwork and balances, with sound during Savasana (relaxation) at the end of the class. All are welcome, including beginners!
What to bring:
A yoga mat, pillow or cushion and blanket. Yoga mats will be available to borrow if you don’t have one. Bolsters will be provided and eye pillows and blankets to borrow but please do bring your own cushion, yoga mat and blanket if you can.
