SUMMARY:Find Balance through Sound (self paced)
DESCRIPTION:Self Paced event. Find a deeper connection to stillness and life through the yoga of sound. Chanting is known to: Increase breath control\n\nInfluence heart rate\n\nLower blood pressure\n\nEase muscle tension\n\nImprove digestion\n\nReduce pain and assist healing\n\nActivate different part of the brain\n\nStimulate learning and memory\n\nHelp us focus on positive words and phrases\, involving gratitude and peace\n\nUnite people and enhance a sense of connection with others\n\nHelp prepare for pranayama\, meditation or prayer\n\nMay reduce snoring by toning the muscles of the throatThrough practice\, we draw senses inward to quiet the mind. In this stillness\, we can experience more subtle aspects of being that resides beyond the mind; a oneness and wholeness with all of life and a sense of profound peace. Mantra is a reminder to treat our words as sacred\, creative and divine.   What we think and say\, we create.  Inspired by Deepak Chopra’s ‘Seven Spiritual Laws of Success’\, these 10-15 minute seated practices offer reflection\, self enquiry\, connection and stillness through mantra repetition (japa) and meditation.  There are 7 recordings in this series which run through my ‘Radiant Wellbeing’ APP so you can practice anywhere\, anytime.

SUMMARY:Practicing 'Chair' yoga
DESCRIPTION:Practicing Chair yoga is a great gift for a number of reasons.\n\nIt might be that you need support for the poses; you might have a knee or hip that’s not coping well with weight bearing; or you might not have the time or space to roll out your mat.\n\nUsing a chair\, poses can be gentle or strong\, and I’ll teach both.\n\nI will be giving detailed alignment instructions for the actions\, and introducing new actions each week.\n\n\n\nThere will be video recordings of the live sessions so if you can’t make a live session all is not lost.\n\n\n\nMy intention\, my hope is that over the ten sessions you will learn enough to be able to create your own practice.\n\n\n\nThere’s such ease in pulling out a chair and doing some stretches. Such support for building strength. Such a great opportunity to be drawn in to the quiet inside\, as the outer body moves.
