A fun, flowing practice, using connection to the breath to move through playful sequences inspired by the Ashtanga and Jivamukti* traditions. Beginning slowly and progressing through traditional Surya Namaskars (sun salutations) we will gradually build to a strong, dynamic (and possibly sweaty!) practice that will energise and revitalise the entire body, igniting your agni (inner fire) while, by concentrating on the present moment and awareness of the breath, remaining calm and steady in the mind.
Through this session we will aim to cultivate Sthira Sukham Asanam – from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (one of the core philosophical texts of Yoga), which means to achieve a balance between strong/steady but comfortable postures. The workshop will conclude with a nourishing Yoga Nidra (Yogic sleep) to deeply relax and let go both mentally and physically.
