Description

A Short Excursion into New Possibilities
Short? Because we only have 3 hours. New possibilities? In the time we have I aim to introduce or reintroduce you to your body's wisdom. 

As Fritz Perls aptly puts it "Get out of your head and come to your senses".

Our bodies have an innate but authentic wisdom which we can so easily override through our daily habits, our conditioning and sometimes even the way we practice yoga. I aim to share some ways of reconnecting to this wisdom through working with gravity to free up the body, some body mechanics to keep the body working efficiently and lots of practice in sensing to gain a deeper ease in our tissues.
A lot to fit in the allotted time but maybe we can make a start?

We will have a break during the event, when refreshments will be provided

 


Additional Information

Val is a highly experienced yoga teacher and she has been heavily influenced by John Stirk and teachers who worked similarly.  She says: "This approach makes sense to my Physiotherapy 'head' as it is absolutely in accord with the authentic movements of the body. I have now retired from a long career in Physiotherapy but feel I am still continuing through yoga to help students to take care of their bodies and avoid injuries".


What to Bring

Your usual yoga equipment, mat, block, blanket etc
