Breathe - Reset - Restore April 23rd

Service Description

Workshop ‘Recharge’ is Sunday April 23rd 10.15 am in Shine in Studio St Olaves Kinsealy. A little bit of what to expect: Surrendering to the Silence In Yin Yoga practices, we invite ourselves to cultivate a gentler, kinder and more forgiving inner dialogue and attitude; to move our bodies with great care and sensitivity into and out of each pose. Constant use of our phones or devices, lets switch off! We find ourselves working more than ever, with the added advantage of bringing our email everywhere with us in our pockets. Switching off is the exception rather than the norm, and it takes serious self-discipline, awareness, and, even, organization to facilitate. RECHARGE OURSELVES While we, of course, need nourishment, care, and kindness in many guises, our own self-talk and inner dialogue is a good place to start. In my personal experience, this has been one of the most powerful and transformative aspects of a Yin Yoga practice. It is a dedicated space and time to observe and gently release, and to accept ourselves exactly where we are. We surrender to stillness and allow our bodies to soften and be supported by the bolsters, blankets or floor. We release any false ideals we may have about how our bodies should look in a given pose, and instead bring our awareness to how the pose feels in our bodies. We use the sensations in our bodies as an opportunity for self-enquiry and a developing understanding of what it means to be a person living in a body that may at times feel uncomfortable, and at other times blissful. And then… as the cherry on top… THE most transformative aspect of these practices is that we get to take them off the mat and into our day-to-day lives. We find that little by little this self-care, slowing down, gentler attitude towards ourselves begins to seep into other aspects of our lives, that the softness and inner stability it cultivates empowers us to feel stronger, calmer, and more flexible in our dealings in the world.
