(Hybrid workshop: online as well as in person)

Stress and anxiety can affect all of us, impacting our sleep, quality of life and ultimately our health. This workshop will provide you with an opportunity to benefit from some precious time to step off the treadmill, relax, unwind and take stock.

We will look at the latest scientific evidence on our autonomic nervous system and explore the wisdom of yin yoga (grounded in Chinese medicinal meridian theory) and mindfulness to slow down and elicit the relaxation response. In addition to working our way through a series of gentle and supportive yin yoga postures and breathing exercises, we will cultivate mindful awareness and wide focus attention to switch off fight-or-flight and enhance parasympathetic function. The session will also include visualisation and inner work. You will receive a PDF handout summary of all the exercises by email so that you can incorporate them into your daily routine.

This workshop is open to practitioners of all levels of experience and ability. Complete beginners are very welcome to attend regardless of fitness or flexibility, while experienced yogis will have the opportunity to work at a deeper level. Please wear something comfortable that does not restrict movement or breathing.
