**NEW CLASS TIMES**
Beginning on Monday September 14th at Langley Village Hall there will be two yoga classes.
Yoga & Meditation class (6:00 - 7:00pm) £8
Rooted in thousands of years of eastern wellness traditions, bring together Hatha, Daoism and Traditional Chinese Medicine, we will explore the energy of the body through asana, posture, and pranayama, breathwork, to create steadiness, strength and an awareness of our inner landscape.
In this class we follow yoga sequences that will change week to week, providing you with a well informed practice. Sessions will build progressively, working slowly through the body with intention and care, releasing tension, improving mobility and cultivating the mastery over our attention. Learning to move away from the constant thought streams of the mind and instead pay attention to our nervous system in preparation for meditation.
The class will always close with a guided meditation (approx 15 minutes), using the stillness that the physical practice has created as a gateway to explore the meditation.
Suitable for all levels. Whether you are stepping onto a mat for the first time or returning to a practice you love, you are welcome here.
Yin Yoga class (7:15 - 8:00pm) £8
A slightly shorter, focused session Yin Yoga works with the harder and deeper tissues of the body, the fascia, ligaments, tendons and joints, through long, yielding holds that allow the body to release tension and the mind to settle.
Rooted in both Daoist philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine, it works with the body's network of meridian lines and Qi channels, encouraging energy and fluid to flow freely through areas that are often tight, restricted or overlooked in more active forms of practice. Each posture is held for several minutes, long enough to move beyond the surface layer of muscle and into the connective tissue. After a few minutes the personal study and awareness of what is happening on the inside encourages the mind the settle, which in turn becomes a meditative practice.
Suitable for all levels, and a particularly beautiful complement to the Hatha Yoga and Meditation practice before.
Please note: The classes are currently a drop-in arrangement, payment may be taken using card or cash on the door. Please arrive before the class start time so we can begin promptly.
Join for one session or stay for both for £15.00.
