Dawn Oei returns to Shoreline on Monday, 16th September (11am to 12noon).

Join her for ‘Do-In’ or ‘self shiatsu’ exercises.

This gentle practice will include stretches (Makko Ho) to strengthen and support the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connect with our inner balance.

Join for her Hip workshop in September.

‘The hips and pelvis form the foundation of the body, connecting the upper with the lower body. When we are stuck in our hips, we can feel it everywhere.’

Explore releasing hip pain and tension using MFR to understand how a free moving pelvis affects us from head to toe.

Reduce pain, restore flexibility, hydrate tissues, re-establish healthy movement between the fascial layers and allow for free passage of signals through the connective tissue system.

Gain the tools you need to work on and around your hips using specific MFR techniques that you can come back to time and time again.

Shiatsu Practitioner and teacher Dawn Oei brings her first Do-In class to Shoreline on Monday.

Do-In is a form of ‘self shiatsu’ combining gentle movements, tapping, stretches and meditation.

We have 2 Introduction to Mindfulness sessions in June with

www.cluniephipps.com

Restorative class with Lucy, Friday 24 May, 6-7.30 pm. At the studio, all equipment provided.

This class will look at how the breath changes in different asana, with a focus on supported restorative asana which can be held for a longer time. This class will show you how to quieten your mind, turn your attention inwards and soothe your nerves. It will leave you feeling rested and calm and better able to deal with life.

A restorative practice is an important part of the Iyengar system but it is so much more than just lying around on bolsters! Both body and mind should usually be prepared by a more active practice before you start to learn restorative poses, to develop the necessary sensitivity.

Open to anyone attending a regular Iyengar yoga class.

You don’t need to be able to touch your toes to come to Yoga. There are spaces on Wednesday mornings at Shoreline for our ‘Ease into Yoga’ class.
In this class we prioritise finding ease and space in the body.

Saturday 16 March, 12-2pm, Lucienne Vidah

We are delighted to welcome Lucienne back to Yoga Now for a workshop this weekend!

Lucienne has a deep interest in the body and how it functions – as a tool for artistic expression in dance, as a tool for healing through bodywork, and as a tool to sharpen the mind as a yoga practitioner. “By exploring and defining the outer form, we can find the layered composition of the form which gradually transforms our inner perceptions, ultimately reaching our selves.” She is forever indebted to Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar, Faeq Biria and the generosity of her many teachers.

Intermediate level. Suitable for those with a home practice, including inversions and backbends.
Book your place on the YN website timetable page.

All equipment is provided at the studio.

Sat 23 March, 11.45-13.30, at Yoga Now studio.
All equipment provided.

Katie and Lucy will be teaching a workshop mainly on sarvangasana and the family of asanas relating to it…..setubhanda, chair sarvangasana, viparita karani, chatooshpadasana to name a few. In Intermediate and General classes, and Continuing Beginners classes, you are expected to know how to set up the props and work in these asanas but we appreciate that in regular classes it is not always possible to spend a lot of time on this. It’s a great opportunity for those of you who come to these levels of classes to get more confidence in your understanding of this wonderful asana.

Regular practice of inversions is absolutely vital – they give extraordinary benefits, not least keeping your immune system healthy. Dr Geeta S Iyengar observed that sometimes practitioners omit inversions and had strong feelings on the subject – “it is absolutely wrong and unpardonable. Inversions are the backbone of the practice of asanas. One may miss the other asanas due to lack of time, but should not miss the regular practice of inversions, except during menstruation. Inversions control the metabolism of the body, keep a check on blood pressure, maintain glucose levels and chemical balance. They yield emotional balance, stimulate the intellectual centre and refresh the mind”.

Let me know if you’d like to come along.
