Two & a Half Hours Studying Yoga Poses that reduce stress.

This is an physical exploration of yoga poses said to useful to the intended focus - it is not a therapeutic workshop

This workshop will look at poses that are familiar simply because they are commonplace & their benefits are clear - we feel better after practicing them. Being stressed is not a prerequisite for attendance! Feeling good afterwards will be a by-product.

A great feelgood workshop for those who love to hold poses & perfect their understanding. Teachers, trainees & students welcome.

Yoga practice taught with inward focus as the guide boosts mental & physical self-awareness. We can learn to feel physical sensations & the minute physiological changes within. From there, we can start to feel the physiological changes associated with emotions & certain yoga poses lend themselves to experiencing these emotions. Meditation practice helps us observe emotions without judgment, which can help us explore them instead of perhaps shutting them away.

Backbends & hip openers are the primary asanas that help release emotional tension. Asanas that work on the throat, chest, shoulders & hips are commonly used to release emotions, although you can use any posture that feels right for you.
