Open, breathe, relax, let go…. This mindful, meditative workshop is suitable for anyone needing to make space and time to breathe deeply, reconnect with their bodies and still their minds. You will experience practical antidotes to the stresses of modern life – from the postural issues of sitting on chairs and hunching over computers to the ‘busy brain’ effects of constant stimulus and being constantly ‘on the go’.

Modern stress patterns and postural habits often have us curling into ourselves and shutting down the fronts of our bodies. This is often felt from the psoas muscle that allows us to stand upright and where tightness and tension can be the cause of many lower back, hip, belly and breathing issues. Here we will explore this deep muscular and emotional channel in a progressively softening, loosening, fluid and opening manner to be felt into release in our whole bodies and minds, allowing easier upright strength and body-mind support

You’ll start gently to build up to stronger poses and back down again to end with a a restorative practice. The overall emphasis will be on creating awareness and slowing down to truly feel, to listen and respond to what we need, rather than pushing our bodies.
