” Journey through the Feet…”
Scaravelli-inspired Yoga Workshop
About the workshop:
Journey through the feet into standing balances and back arches. Our focus in this Scaravelli-inspired yoga workshop will begin with the feet. How can we bring more awareness and attention into the foot and develop a deeper understanding of our connection to the ground? Building slowly, we will work towards balance postures and back arches in standing and supine, using the breath as a vehicle for finding release and ease. The workshop will include breath awareness and relaxation.
Cost £30.00
To book:
Please be in touch with Joanna Labon to ask more or to book your place on this workshop joannalabon@gmail.com 0788 414 8868. Joanna is a regular teacher at Canterbury Yoga.
Wear loose comfortable clothes and bring a yoga mat and blanket.
Bring your own packed lunch but tea and coffee will be provided.
A Journey to Stillness through Movement: Going with the Flow
with Joanna Fiakkas .
May 17th 10 am – 4.30pm
The day will be an opportunity to consider the relationship between movement
and stillness and explore the idea of finding stillness through movement; both as
we experience ourselves physically, through our asana practice, but also through
our felt experience mentally and emotionally, through breathing and guided
visualisations, and subsequently our relationship with life around us.
Through this exploration we will experience practices that may help us find the
flow and movement that allows us space to experience the present moment more
fully and as such find stillness. The morning will be more active with a focus on
our physical practice and the afternoon will see us slowing down and taking a
more inwards step to also include pranayama, meditation and relaxation practices.
Jo is a qualified BWY teacher and has been teaching yoga since 2008 and
practising since 1999. She places a strong emphasis on the breath and its
connection to movement as well as its connection and impact emotionally and
mentally. She has a particular interest in the philosophical underpinnings of yoga
and how these can enhance every aspect of our yoga practice.
Cost: £40 (£35 Early Bird if paid by the 2nd of May)
