Julia, our tutor up until recently wrote about the sessions:
The body loves to stretch, lengthen, expand and move in meaningful ways. It also loves to relax, to rest and breathe deeply.
Yoga (meaning "to unite") is a health system that supports the body's wish for well-being, balance and comfort. Yoga helps us to explore and achieve this and, with regular practice, to maintain it.
Yoga postures are timeless and therapeutic. It is different from most practices in that there is the significant and beneficial connection of movement with breath. Every inhale and exhale corresponds to flowing movements the same duration as the breath. As we allow our breath to naturally expand and lengthen, our movements become full and free to experience a wonderful sense of relaxation, rejuvenation and restoration (the 3 Rs of Yoga). We learn with Yoga to elongate and extend rather than to push and pull. The practice is effortless and without strain.
Mats, blocks, small yoga balls and bolsters are provided. Bring a blanket if you feel you will need to cover yourself during relaxation.
Regular attendee Pam says: "I would recommend our yoga sessions to everyone. You are always welcome, even if all you can do is to lie on the mat and enjoy a peaceful hour switched off from the cares and worries of the day, we relax and do mindful breathing for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then Julia takes us through gentle stretches and movements, but of course you do as much or as little as you feel able. We finish with another shorter relaxation before going home. I find it very helpful in keeping me supple and not stiffening up. Hope to see you there."
