Spring Workshops
2PM – 4PM SATURDAY 13th APRIL
With Alison Firth
What is the connection between Pilates, a technique for developing and improving movement and helping to rehabilitate after injury and Yoga?
Jospeh Pilates drew from his experiences of practicing yoga in the development of his technique and as a result they make comfortable bedfellows. When we learn Pilates, we learn isolated exercises. Here we will explore what we mean by ‘the core’ and play with how the matwork exercises can be applied functionally and in a fun way in your Yoga practice.
This workshop will take you through some of the basic Pilates techniques and mat work exercises and explore how they can help improve and enrich our yoga practice through increasing awareness, use of breath, precision, centering and flow.
6PM – 7PM FRIDAY 19th APRIL
With Tilly Maylen
The body cannot for long tolerate consuming more than is replaced. Yin yoga is essential for those of us who enjoy strong physical exercise. To prevent tightening of muscles, stress on the joints and a lowering of our energy strong dynamic practices need to be balanced with the cooling element of Yin.
Yin Yoga focuses on releasing the connective tissue of the body (tendons, ligaments and fascia). The practice works deeply into our body with passive, longer-held poses to help muscles to lengthen & release.
In this session Tilly will guide you through a series of sustained, passive floor poses, that mainly work the lower body – hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine.
This beautiful practice cultivates a deep sense of physical awareness – rejuvenating our body and recharging our energy levels.
“If you practice the yang – do the yin”
