The epitome of from yang to yin, the workshop will begin with a Mandala sequence, which involves moving around the yoga mat in all directions, and close with an extended relaxation of Yoga Nidra.
Flowing, smooth and constant movement synchronised with the breath as well as the creative, playful and flowing Mandala sequence combine to create an uplifting and energising style of class. Immerse yourself in this moving meditation to stretch and strengthen the body, calm the mind and reduce stress.
Each workshop will explore one of the five elements from the yoga tradition. Each element is linked to a different area of the body, a different Chakra and a different aspect of your life.
Within January's workshop you are invited to explore The Earth Element. The Vinyasa Flow portion is designed to clear the mind, release tension and create space for you to land back in your body, preparing you to enjoy the restful stillness of Yoga Nidra. The rejuvenating, restorative and grounding practice of Yoga Nidra comprises the final portion of the class.
Yoga Nidra is a form of meditation practised lying down and guides you between sleep and wakefulness. This state is profoundly nourishing and restorative and helps you to guide your body into the rest and digest nervous system response.
Meet Ailsa
I’m Ailsa and I have been teaching yoga since 2017 and practising since 2008. I love sharing my practice with students and I am passionate about sharing the mental and physical benefits of yoga. For me, yoga is not simply a physical movement of the body; it is a form of moving meditation, a tool for stress relief and a practice to help you manage your mind.
It gives me so much joy to share my yoga and Yoga Nidra offering with you. My hope is that my yoga offering is a haven of peace and tranquillity for you and can help you to relax, rest and sleep.
