Absolute Yoga Relaxation and Meditation in Hornchurch and surrounding areas

10 GBP

Yoga is many thousands of years old with a rich history of culture, religious beliefs and practices. Yoga translated means ‘join or unite’ the mind, body, soul and spirit through exercise (asanas), breathing, relaxation, diet and positive thinking (meditation). Yoga will build strength, improve flexibility/agility, balance and harmonise the mind and body.
Introduction to Yoga:
Week 1: Breathing. You will be taught deep abdominal breathing and full Yogi breathing. The class will include 7 asana poses reinforcing breathing practice. ‘When the breath is unsteady, the mind is unsteady. When the breath is steady, the mind is steady and the yogi becomes steady. Therefore one should restrain the breath’ (Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Svatmarama Ch 2 vs. 1, 2).

Week 2: Posture and Mobility. We will look at our posture and the importance of posture in yoga. You will learn how to mobilise effectively for Yoga asana practice. The class will then progress with the 7 asana poses reinforcing posture and mobility.

Week 3: Relaxation and (Meditation) At the end of the asana practice we will learn how to relax the body and quieten the mind with some Pranayama breathing exercises. ‘Meditation is the only royal road to the attainment of freedom. It is a mysterious ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to truth, from darkness to light, from pain to bliss, from restlessness to abiding peace, from ignorance to knowledge, from mortality to immortality’. (Meditation and Mantras, Swami Sivananda)

Week 4: This class is a celebration of all above. We will practice breathing, posture and mobility, mindful relaxation and pranayama. This class will demonstrate the beauty and flow of Yoga.
